Yay! Thank you, Hec! And the third episode did actually make it to the DVR, so I’m all set!
Hmm. It's sounds like the finest party I can imagine getting paid to go to.

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.

Mark Hamill has a long tradition of playing the Trickster: [link]
I love how Orion and Batman are ready to pound the shit out of Trickster, but then Flash just goes and talks to him, and gets him to turn himself in.

Right? And Trickster is all, "You got it, Flash!" and then Batman and Orion look REALLY DISAPPOINTED.

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 was a great episode, even if Orion's inclusion is rather random.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I'm glad Mako and Bolin got to meet their family, and I like the thief kid. All the people busting out of the secret prisons-for-one are pretty interesting. I want to see where this is going.
Loved the Tenzin recruiting montage.

Yeah, to clarify, I was cool with the evil gang of benders each imprisoned in ability-countering secret prisons. The rehash in this case is the secret Dai Li prison in Ba Sing Se.
Though I do wonder how the evil Earth bender guy can make his rock shuriken thing light on fire.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
That's what I figured.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix
I enjoyed the new Korra eps, although I didn't check--was that Dante Basco voicing Zuko, because it didn't sound like him to me. LOVED the dragon. And the armless maiden waterbender. Nice to see Toph's metal-bending has expanded outside of Republic City's police force.
I was disappointed we didn't get more of Lin Beifong: I wanted her reaction to Mako going off again with Team Avatar.
And damn, Tenzing is buff. But also kinda stupid--he's not very good at putting himself in other people's positions, if he thinks people will be willing to just drop their lives and go off to a remote Air Temple. They need to rethink what they're doing. Start a training school, yes; require all the students to become Air Nomads, no.
Korra, of course, is just as short-sighted and impulsive as before.
