If you’re on the west coast, and you haven’t recorded today’s episode of Korra yet, it runs about 3 minutes long. Adjust your DVRs.
Giles! I accidentally killed Spike. That's okay, right?

So my Tivo cut out at the point where Turlock is putting Korra in the truck, and says she's never coming back to Republic City. Is that the end, or do I need to download it?

Speaking of Korra, here's a quite awesome piece of fanart: [link]

Mine cut out there too. I failed to heed the East Coast warning! Woes.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Did she do any genre work? I think I've only seen her in West Wing.

Not much else happens after that. Korra tries to firebend, but Turlock slams the door shut, and then drives her out of Republic City.
...Where they meet a pirate, who sings them a sea shanty!
I guess that last part was the start of the next show, Sponge Bob.
It's not worth downloading, it's just a pretty montage of Republic City. Just wait a couple of days for it to go up on nick.com.

That was my Korra reaction, by the way.
I was just thinking with this episode that I love that this series is darker and more complex and adult than A:TLA, but there's no way it will, as I hoped it would, be BETTER than A:TLA. Its focus is simply too narrow. It is telling this story about the Equalists (really well), but that's mostly it. There's a little bit about a new Team Avatar and some about Korra's learning airbending, but it's not as sprawling and epic as A:TLA.
It's weird because I don't spend the whole week waiting for each episode, but when I'm watching, I love it to hell and scream when it's over because I want more.
