omnis, I'm almost done. it's kind of hard to stop when you know there are more episodes!
Buffy: He ran away, right? Giles: Sort of, more. turned and swept out majestically, I suppose. Said I didn't concern him. Buffy: So a mythic triumph over a completely indifferent foe? Giles: Well, I'm not dead or unconscious, so I say bravo for me.

I agree! I have 3 episodes left. Will likely knock them out tonight.

Then the long wait for the 2nd season that I'm pretty sure we are going to get.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
This week's Korra mostly felt like it was getting things into position for the end game, but it had some enjoyable moments, IMO. I loved Korra talking to Zuko, and Zuko's reaction to hearing about who Korra met in the spirit world.
I also love that Zuko was in a hurry to get back to the Fire Nation to ensure his daughter's safety. Such a big, big change from the way the Fire Nation royal family used to be.

I liked a lot about this episode! Do not want to wait for the next one.

The jumping around the air temple reminded me of Assassins Creed.
Also, happy to learn that the Xbox has a nick app! So watched it on there. Much better than pushing from the iPad to the Apple TV.

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 happy to see Tenzin smacking Zaheer around after him being to untouchable previously (though Kya did give him a close fight earlier in the season.) I just hope Tenzin's going to be okay. I don't know if that was a "preserve the mystery" not showing or a "this is a kid's show" not showing.
That said, speaking of kid's shows, I've been watching Star Wars: The Clone Wars via Netflix, and holy crap is that show violent. No blood, but clones die horribly in just about every episode, people get stabbed with lightsabers, an episode I watched recently had a kid get shot and die and another had people get blown up under water leaving chunks behind. Yeesh. Definitely not letting Mattias watch for a few years, yet.

Oh, yeah, a lot of death on Clone Wars.

Well. To be fair. It does have "wars" in it's name. Just because it is animated doesn't mean it's for kids.

I'm well aware animation doesn't automatically mean something is for kids, but the show was intended as such (though on the older side of the spectrum). Much like the movies. That and there are some weird tonal shifts and varying violence levels (plus random Jar Jar being an idiot but somehow still winning the day episodes) that makes me wonder if everyone was on the same page as to whom their target audience was.
