AWW FUCK.
DVR screwed up. No Korra for me. And it looks like it was pulled from iTunes, too. Crap.

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.
That sucks, Scola.
All in all, I enjoyed the three new episodes. Wasn't blown away or anything, but I think the new season has a lot of potential.

Some additional Korra thoughts:
I wasn't completely sold on the portrayal of elderly Zuko until the scene in the elevator. That look on his face and the "It didn't work" was classic.
I'm glad Asami and Korra got some scenes together (and some tandem ass-kicking) and were able to basically shrug and say "Mako's an idiot" and move on with their lives.
Bolin is still a little too heavy on the comic-relief side of things, but at least he wasn't completely useless like he was for 3/4s of season 2.
The new villainous quartet are interesting, though I do wander how the first one (whose name I don't remember) managed to become a badass Airbender over the course of two weeks while stuck in a cell. I suppose the line about him reading old Air Nomad philosophical texts was supposed to hand-wave it?
The Tenzin recruiting montage was pretty amusing.
Not sure how I feel about the rehash of "The Dai Li have a secret prison" storyline. I mean, yeah, it's kind of their thing, but we already saw it once in A:TLA.

I basically agree with everything Kalshane said except I'm excited about the rehash, and it ties into Meelo's first thought, which was to have an Airbender army.
I figure Zahir must have practiced in his cell for a couple weeks. Maybe he was an Air Nomad fanboy and had studied all the moves too, so it was his moment.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Tom, I'm DLing it now - the first two eps anyway.
If I get it down clean I'll send via Dropbox.

Yay! Thank you, Hec! And the third episode did actually make it to the DVR, so I’m all set!

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
I'm watching an old Justice League (Saturday mornings FTW), and this episode has Ron Perlman as Orion (he's kind of perfect), Mark Hamill as Trickster, and Alexis Denisof as Mirror Master. I love the actors JLU gets.
And Michael Rosenbaum is, always, perfect as The Flash.
