Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

We watched them last night!

Oh, Korra. Ouch.

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

Wha? did Kuvira go into the Avatar state? or did I just dream that?

I just went back and watched it again. not quite what I thought.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

Even though I feel bad for the character, I LOVE that Korra's issues were not solved by simply removing the poison from her body. Just because she's physically better, it doesn't mean she's mentally better.

did Kuvira go into the Avatar state?

No, Korra hallucinated that Kuvira was actually the Avatar!Korra that she'd seen several times on her wanderings.

I'm glad that Korra at least tried to settle things without violence, but I don't think she tried very hard. Like, she never sat down with Kuvira to learn much about what was going on in the Earth Kingdom, didn't do any investigation (and as far as we know, Korra doesn't know about the reeducation camps), and basically her diplomacy consisted of standing around saying, "Don't fight!"

I also have to say that I think Suyin is kind of an idiot. She's apparently a good manager, but she has crap strategic sense. I'm pretty sure she wouldn't have made a good leader for the entire Earth Kingdom, although I don't think she would have sent people to the camps for disagreeing with her, either.

Nice to see Bolin use his smarts once in a while. "You did THE THING!"

Bolin isn’t stupid—he’s just very naïve about people.

True, although I submit that sufficiently advanced naivete is indistinguishable from stupidity.

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

Wha? did Kuvira go into the Avatar state? or did I just dream that?

I just went back and watched it again. not quite what I thought.

I did the same thing.

I'm glad that Korra at least tried to settle things without violence, but I don't think she tried very hard.

Not that it would have worked, but yeah.

I am still wondering whether Zhu Li is playing a long con. She has every reason to say, "Fuck you," to Varrick, but I don't see why she would go completely to Kuvira's side.

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

I have a feeling that Zhu Li has a pivotal role to play one way or another.
