You never know if a girl's gonna say 'yes', or if she's gonna laugh in your face and pull out your still-beating heart and crush it into the ground with her heel.

Korra (the character) is getting really annoying. I hope that the Spirit Squid knocks some sense into her.

Nicely done, but Jeez those dings are annoying!

Because books.

God, right? I was watching with my headphones on, and I jumped a foot the first time.

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 think Korra is meant to be the "anti-Aang". Where Aang needed to learn to be assertive and when to stand his ground to unlock his full potential, Korra has assertiveness in spades and hasn't had to deal with much adversity that she can't just bludgeon her way through. (Hence her Air Bending is very much a brute force approach.) She needs to learn empathy and humility to fulfill her calling.

Hopefully we'll get some of that this season.

Adventure Time Primer.

Seriously, if you’re not watching Adventure Time, it’s a way better show than you think it is.

That's a great primer. My only beef is with this:

With greater emphasis on romantic plots, season three actively tries to appeal to a female audience, a strategy that is heavily bolstered by the introduction of Fionna (Madeleine Martin) and Cake (Roz Ryan), the gender-swapped versions of the show’s central pair.

Really? It's Ice King fanfic! I thought it succeeded at being hilariously awful storytelling, but that's about it.

Quisp: Anyone watching "Wander Over Yonder", Craig McCracken's new series on Disney? It's no Powerpuff Girls, but after a handful of episodes, I think it has potential.
