A thread to discuss television and online animation.

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 glad to see Korra originally didn't set out to lie to her parents about what she was doing.

Hallucinatory Korra was freaky, especially in that fight in the swamp.

Happy to see Toph, though I wouldn't have expected her to be living in a cave under a swamp.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Given that we first "met" her in a swamp, I thought it was fitting. And she sounded just like old-ass Toph would sound, whereas Katara didn't sound as distinctive in her speech patterns. Then again, Toph is pretty...Toph.

Oh, side note, I loved the picture of an excited Aang air-bending those sushi roll thingies the vendor had.

Right! All we've seen of adult Aang on Korra before was frickin' grim. I expected him to grow up; I didn't expect him to lose his sense of fun.

That's awesome, Tom. (And a little creepy, when one has a chance to actually look closely at it.)

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

There were a lot of callbacks in this episode.

Korra Alone / Zuko Alone (also Appa Alone).

Which also had Korra's eye all fucked up echoing Zuko.

Plus the first time Aang had a notion of Toph was in the swamp, when he was looking for an Earthbending teacher.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

Finally watching Archer Vice. Weird, but not too bad.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I don't know why we needed the recap 2/3 of the way through.

Seemed like an efficient way to let us know the flashback was over. If we are thinking of the same bit.

So excited to see Toph!

Yeah, I liked that bit, especially because I was a bit confused about the timeline before then.
