I wish I could w&p Korra, but we watch after baby goes to bed so we can actually, you know, watch it.
You're right. He's evil. But you should see him naked. I mean really!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Whoa. Any Andromeda Ascendant fans here? Is this [link] real? It purports to be by Hewitt Wolfe and is a (kinda butthurt) resolution to the series.
I have to go find meta now.

Why protect the bounty hunter instead of letting take his fair share of the blame?
Ah, I see. I would guess that the bounty hunter would end up getting punished by the Dark, and what was the bonus for Trick? This way, the bounty hunter owes him a favor.

I just watched the first episode of Korra. It's really beautifully made.

Again, West Coast Korra people, the episode runs about 3 minutes long. You don't want to miss the last bit.

My DVR caught the whole thing without any extra help.
I shouted so many things at the screen. I felt like Mark.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I had to prescreen it before I let Matilda watch it because she Freaked The Fuck Out when Lin lost her bending. Just incredibly distraught.
So I'm going to have to spoil this episode for her before she watches it.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Re: Korra, I understand about "we're not sure if it's the season or series finale" stuff, but I really wish they'd had two versions of everything after Katara says she can't fix Korra (one for if there was a season 2 and one if not).

My Tivo didn't catch any of Korra after Korra starts to give Lin her bending back. Can anyone tell me what happened?
In any event, I had the sense of too many plot threads wrapped up a bit too quickly. I disliked that we didn't get an explanation of how Amon could take away anyone's bending, or how he & Tarrlock could bloodbend anytime. I thought the end of Tarrlock & Amon's story was too easy, if consistent with Tarrlock's character. And I really disliked the whole clinch thing with Mako, since I find Mako boring and strongly resist the way the show is pushing the "find the love of your life as a teenager" thing.
And Iroh seemed, from a character point of view, to be kind of wasted, although his abilities were useful.
I dunno. It seemed rushed and lacking in cool character bits. And how did Amon capture Tenzin & his family, anyway?
