I kept expecting someone to come in on their duel and for Korra to be arrested for assualting a council member (plus you know, serious property damage.)
Me too.
Like any of that's enough to fight the Dark Master. Bator.

Boxed Set, Vol. V: Just a Hint of Denial and a Dash of Retcon
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.

Did she do any genre work? I think I've only seen her in West Wing.
She (Kathryrn Joosten) has a huge string of credits, appearing here and there, although most of them aren't sci-fi related, but she did appear in an episode of Buffy ("Where the Wild Things Are" as the fanatical head of the orphanage that spawned all the ghosts at the frat house), so I guess that buys her inclusion here.

Aang was the only one in ages to learn how to spirit bend, but now Amon can apparently do it.
I'm still not convinced that's what Amon is doing, since I think you need a special connection to the spirit realm to spirit-bend. OTOH, it doesn't appear to be chi-blocking because he's only touching their heads, right? I dunno.
I read some post on Tumblr about a really complicated theory involving Aang and Sokka and Toph at a trial 40 years ago, of a guy who was a bloodbender, and how Tarrlock is that guy's son. However the post didn't really give any evidence, so I'm still a bit dubious.
I wonder: waterbending has its bad side, with bloodbending. Do other forms have evil sides? Like could an airbender bend the air out of your lungs? Could a firebender stop the tiny little combustions going on in your cells? Could an earthbender bend the minerals out of your body?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I read some post on Tumblr about a really complicated theory involving Aang and Sokka and Toph at a trial 40 years ago, of a guy who was a bloodbender, and how Tarrlock is that guy's son.
Yeah, people are suggesting Tarrlok is Yakone's son, given that the general assumption is that the flashbacks are to Yakone's trial and we just saw bloodbending going on there.
Like could an airbender bend the air out of your lungs?
Fanon is that that's what Monk Gyatso did, why his skeleton is surrounded by dead Fire Nation soldiers.
Could a firebender stop the tiny little combustions going on in your cells? Could an earthbender bend the minerals out of your body?
I think it's not "bad" sides but enhanced sides, so firebending has lightning and earthbending has metalbending.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
I'm still not convinced that's what Amon is doing, since I think you need a special connection to the spirit realm to spirit-bend. OTOH, it doesn't appear to be chi-blocking because he's only touching their heads, right? I dunno.
There is a theory that he's just doing really heavy-duty chi blocking. (He touches their head and--undoubtedly-not-a-coincidence--the back of the neck where a pressure point called the "amon" is located.) We'll have to see if that's actually the case. I'm certainly willing to accept it may be.
Still, the "previously rare abilities becoming common" on Korra seems a bit much. But I could be jumping to conclusions and it will be explained satisfactorily.

Eureka - what did Jack say to Allison in the preview? I liked a lot of the character interactions in this ep. I'm trying to figure out the last thing I saw the major in.

Is anyone watching Teen Wolf this season? It seems even cheesier and more over the top this season but not as enjoyable for some reason.
