Did Korra start having visions before she met Tarrlok?
I always thought the name Serenity had a vaguely funereal sound to it.

Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
No, she first had them in the episode she met Tarrlok, when Amon came to the Air Temple. So right after she meets him, Aang tries to warn her about him.
I'm glad I was right about Amon and Tarrlok. It would have been too easy for them to have been working together.
And Sokka addressed Kalshane's point about bloodbending! Sort of. Also, there was no light show when Aang took Yakone's bending away, so...maybe Amon really is spiritbending after all.
In conclusion, Lin Bei Fong is a supreme badass.

Well, that's a quick exposure & resolution of Tarrlock's story. Huh.
Lin certainly is a badass.
I was halfway expecting Korra to try to metal-bend her way out of the box, but I guess that's too obvious. Her solution was pretty smart, though.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I understand that randomly peeking in is no guarantee you'll get to see the trademark personality of a show nor the essence of the relationship between the primary players (see SPN S4, for starters). But I'm onto the second (non-sequential) episode of Merlin, and do these guys even like each other a little? Is Arthur always this douchey? Merlin such a doormat?
I'm watching S2 ep1, and their relationship seems fragile enough that Arthur would fire Merlin. What's it usually like?

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.
And Sokka addressed Kalshane's point about bloodbending! Sort of. Also, there was no light show when Aang took Yakone's bending away, so...maybe Amon really is spiritbending after all.
Sort of.
Aang touched head and heart, though. Not head and back of the neck, like Amon does. I still think he's doing something different.
Still getting annoying DBZ-vibe. "OMG, Tarrlock is a Super Blood-bender! Look how scary he is! OMG, Amon is immune to Tarrlock's blood bending! Look how scary he is!"
Don't get me wrong, I'm still enjoying the show immensely, just not caring for the constant power escalation.
In conclusion, Lin Bei Fong is a supreme badass.
I don't think you'll find any arguments with that statement.

The show, or their relationship?

Both. It tries to pretend to be serious, but mostly it makes me laugh. And go "aw", but I'm already invested.

From watching this episode it seems like Merlin is a lapdog and Arthur is an asshole. Do they get some sort of emotional parity, or does this status different characterise them?

Arthur is mostly always an asshole to Merlin, except when he's not, but it's a kind of "I abuse you because I love you" thing.
