A topic for the discussion of Doctor Who, Arrow, and The Flash. Beware possible invasions of iZombie, Sleepy Hollow, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi, superhero, or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect adult content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.
I'm also skeptical
Of course. Clearly Amon is not entirely on the up-and-up, even beyond the whole "using his position to increase the divide in society for his own benefit" thing. I do wonder if he'll end up being connected to someone we know.
It didn't look like when Aang did it.
It's been too long since I watched Avatar, as I don't recall this.
It's interesting that the Chi-blockers also use what are essentially Tazers. It almost seems like they're setting up a science/religion divide (which would lead me to think that Amon is putting a spiritual face on a non-spiritual maneuver).
I thought Abed was Batman now.
Mako is SO Batman. That wasn't even a little subtle.
I do wonder whether anyone has pointed out to the Equalists that, in all likelihood, the city is dependent on the benders for all the infrastructure they're using. Skyscrapers and cars and power-plants and water & waste-water, and hospitals and shipping, and all that--that's got to be benders making it work.
Notably better-trained benders than the ones who are working as muscle for protection rackets, but still: benders keep the water clean and the trains running on time. I can see how that might in itself create some resentment, but so far all of Amon's propaganda has been about physical oppression, rather than "benders get all the good jobs" or "all the most powerful politicians are benders".
Anyway, that was fun, and interesting. And the show's reluctance to let us see Amon's face makes me wonder if we're going to get, through him, another connection with the first series. Just wondering.
I mainlined Season 4 of Eureka to catch up to this season. I had forgotten what a gifted physical comedian Colin is!
Also, I'm not crazy about the whole Beverly thing. I think the series is better without her.
Mako is SO Batman.
He really is.
I've got a feeling that he's going to lose his bending, though. Because what do you do to Batman? Give him more angst.

Pshaw, you're just applying Capitalist-I-mean-Bender "logic" to oppress The People. Once we are all equal, then all will be peace, harmony, and fruitfulness.
through him, another connection with the first series.
I think this is likely. I'm really hoping that it's not to Zuko.
It probably isn't Zuko, but might it be his nephew? Sounds like something his sister's kid would do.

To bend another's energy, your own spirit must be unbendable or you will be corrupted and destroyed. — Lion Turtle Island Dude.
Caught up on "Being Human".
Thanks for the reminder that I needed to do that. I do like the new characters, but I did not like this season's plot at all. I am not as mad at the UK show as I am at the US version, I think, but that is pretty damn faint praise.
