Anne, in regards to your theory, is there a word for the opposite of fanservice?

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Fan disservice? If done right, I think it could be good. Painful, but good.

You guys, I'm worried about Korra. She seems depressed. I am very worried about this fictional character.

She seems depressed.
Yes, she does. But I'm sure she'll manage, somehow. She's had a hard few years.

I am crossing my fingers so hard that the show handles the topic well. I can see this being SO IMPORTANT for a lot of people.

Korra is already up! And it’s... kind of weak.
Also, not Studio Mir.

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 could have sworn they said Studio Mir was animating Season 4. I didn't notice any real issues with the animation.
Hmm. Disappointing that Weisman is out. I wonder what the story behind that, is.

As for Korra itself, I didn't think the episode was that bad,. Obviously, some interesting stuff has gone down during the last several years and I'm curious to find out more about it.
I'm also curious to see where they're going with Korra. She's obviously not in the best mental or physical state (getting whomped on by a random prize fighter) and hiding it from her father.

I thought the animation was a little weak: that first scene with Asami and Mako, for instance.
But I didn't think the writing was too bad, although if Kuvira is being set up as the big bad for S4, they should have introduced her earlier than they did. (Although to be fair, the Big Bads for the other seasons were only introduced in their seasons too; it's just that the Final Season should be bigger and have more lead-up to it.)
All that said, I liked how fast they set up a complicated political situation with a lot of believable conflicts between the characters. And Wu reminded me of a Sokka gone terribly, terribly wrong.
As for Korra, well, it rather looks like the writers have been watching some Buffy. I loved that twist.
