Hot Pie seemed nonplussed, from what I remember, so maybe there's hope for him. 

Did she even say her name was Jeyne? I was tired, so I didn't catch the name, just that she was from Volantis, so I thought they were excising Jeyne Westerling (fine with me!) and replacing her with this awesome rando chick, who is pragmatic and useful, thus making the whole Red Wedding thing even more tragic because…

She basically walked through a gate in this episode. Riveting stuff.
And Qarth seriously looks like the Universal Studios theme park in Orlando. Which I guess is nice for them.

Korra needs to find a new excuse for being where she shouldn't, because "looking for the bathroom" is not cutting it.

That's what I thought, that it was actually that Amon was working with the triads to unify them, and thus rule either the underworld, or else wrest control of republic city from the council.

I think that would steal a bit of the show's focus, bc they would do a really good and heartbreaking job with Bolin's difficulty with being a nonbender. I think we're going to meet at least two potential nonbender people around Korra's age, so I'm not worried about this.

I would watch that movie, and I would love it.

My poor nephew and niece better love themselves some ATLA otherwise Uncle Tina's going to be sending them poop for christmas for the rest of their lives. I cannot imagine a person loving this show and not being a good person. I don't care how disingenuous that may be.

I guess it's wrong for me to hope that there's a physically disabled character in Korra so I can have more blind/whatever jokes.

And that would definitely fall in line with the idea that the second season would be the book of spirit (as opposed to energy, I guess) - the idea that what's out of balance this time around is the lack of spirituality. I am dying to see how they resolve that, since it seems to suggest that she'll not only have to…

You guys are breaking my heart all over again with this stuff.

What's the "romney rape thing"? I need to know, and I am not googling that at work.

"Flameo, hotman" would have also worked.

I start crying/laughing at the point where Bill's all, "sniff?" This show gets tears, every time.

I imagined him as a really dirty Dumbledore (the first) - a lot skinnier and older, anyway, like an evil Merlin.

I liked the scene where she slaps him and he threatens her with death - you get the idea that she's only now realizing that she might have created a monster, and it also works in counterpoint to her scene with Littlefinger, since she doesn't have as much power as she thought/says she has. It's worrying because it's…

Imagine my disappointment when I finally moved to the US and found out that that book wasn't a nonfiction account of the state of the American school system. I still haven't recovered.

I loved the movie, so maybe that speaks well for my liking the band.

The Fall link takes you to some rando band I have now heard of. 

Good point - Book 1 to me is basically The Blue Spirit, that fun confab with Ko, and the season finale, so I didn't realize it took Aang that long to interact with Roku.
