Overall, Book 2 was weaker than Book 1, but it had a more satisfying conclusion.
Kaylee: So, uh, how come you don't care where you're going? Book: 'Cause how you get there is the worthier part.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Yeah, I'd agree with that.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I'm not sure I understand completely what happened with Jinora at the end, but I'd agree. It felt appropriate. Then again, I liked the Book 1 finale more than most, apparently.

I agree, the Jinora thing was really unexplained.

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 was also confused by the Jinora thing. Glad they went out with a bang. I am surprised that they're doing such a big shake-up to the status quo after only two short (compared to A:TLA) seasons.
Going back to the broadcast episodes, I also liked the possibility that Bumi's crazy stories might not be the tall tales everyone assumes they are. He did get promoted all the way up to Commander after all, I'd imagine just being Aang's son only took him so far.
Also, good to see some of the old, competent Bolin back at the end of the season, plus some of the throwaway humor from the past.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."
Bumi and Bolin are both awesome.
In the finale, I especially loved the shot of Tenzin, Mako, Bolin, and Kya. The four elements stepping up to defend Korra.

Yeah, that was pretty sweet!
So was I the only one with tissues in hand for the final episodes?? I'm such a softy. Co-worker didn't know about the web early releases. And they didn't shed a tear. Pfft. Oh well.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I got a little misty at the moment Dana mentioned above.
