@disqus_okgItcD0yy:disqus was responding to the pre-edited comment, which referred to the Tarrs as Irathients. It's been corrected since then.
Not the way Jinora describes it: … a high level air bender move, with a little spiritual stuff thrown in". Perhaps this is specifically about astral projection within the physical realm? Has there been other instances of astral projection in the show that didn't involve being the Avatar?
Yeah, I don't know how those ratings relate to the costs of the show, but I hope it remains a profitable endeavor. Continuum has worse ratings, but I think it's still good to go for next season. However, I think Continuum's budget is smaller due to having less FX requirements than Defiance.
Well, Rafe murdered that dude (Josef?) and he's not facing murder charges, just an eviction. I think law enforcement in the town is … flexible. Stahma can clearly buy off some E-Rep soldiers to claim anything she wants in order to explain Datak's death.
Well, air benders can be separated from air … in the spirit world! (^_^) Divested of their physical forms, an air bender can ostensibly attempt to bend the one other thing they've been developing their entire lives: their spirit. This is perhaps an echo of the original energy bending that predated the current…
Thanks! I should have read the review before I posted, because all four were named in it, hah! I was just so excited by that opening jailbreak, I even forgot to mention the prison break at the end, which was also fantastic.
Mmm mmm mmmhh! That jailbreak fight sequence was fantastic. The choreography was clear despite the speed at which the camera was moving around. The armless water bender is vicious and delicious. I loved that the explosive fire bender ended being a giant lady as well!
Well, they could have placed that reminder in a later episode. The abortion discussion last season happened between Connor and Nolan, so the writers could have used Nolan as the connecting thread between the rape and the abortion. Like, it seems the rape thing is about to become a pivotal element for next week's…
Well, she does have combat training (I presume all E-Rep field agents do). However, the mass difference between her and the miner was the disadvantage. The guy had a longer reach and heavier bulk. She should know better than to tangle with him with melee weapons (her mug of water in her office, and the miner hand…
Piled on all in one go can be a bit overwhelming. I recall the abortion being discussed last season when Connor was in town. I think maybe the script could have done better by letting the audience connect the rape to the abortion on their own.
Yes: you could engage in discussion with the commentariat, so they can get a feel for how you dissect an episode. Right now your links have no context, and you're clearly just announcing randomly, with the hope that someone would click the link. Are you funny; are you seriously academic; are you snarky; are you…
Oh dear. Your entire comment history is about visiting different websites and spamming your YouTube links. I'm pretty sure this is not how you build an audience.
I liked that Berlin is as bullheaded in combat as she is in her social and personal interactions. That said, she needs better combat assessment skills, because her tactics—though admirable—were pretty laughable. She should have avoided getting into hand-to-hand with a miner, when she's spent the bulk of her E-Rep…
I agree with this take on it. Just like his offering drugs to Amanda, this would be another means of making her dependent on Pottinger. By accessing her trauma, he would set her up to run to him for support, because who else could comprehend the gravity of the situation?
Well, there's a new show runner, and I think he's changing course. This transition is a bit rough (premiere was still mediocre), because he has to deal with the plot points he's been given, but it may work out for the better (or not—don't hold me to my optimism). I just found it hilarious that this season's premiere…
No, the premiere is still mediocre. However, the following two episodes included more Espheni stuff that isn't just some idiotic 3sec reminder that aliens still exist in this show. Karen did make a cameo, but unfortunately it was an idiotic 3sec reminder that she used to exist in this show (on the plus side, it was a…
Well, Karen makes a cameo, and two Espheni Overlords seem to be a significant part of this season's narrative. The latter has piqued my interest enough to commit for the season. Some parts are still stupid, so your mileage may vary.
This 4th season performs a soft reboot of the series, so you should be able to pick it up directly from the end of Season 2! The S2 finale showed the arrival of new aliens, and you can go directly from there to the start of this season. Obviously the story picks up after introductions have already been made, but a…
