River ,'Objects In Space'
A thread to discuss television and online animation.
The end of the episode had me going "Oh no. Oh shit! FUCK!" This won't end well. (It also explained why they bothered to show Korra's explanation to Mako and Asami about the swamp.)
Increased exposure to Varrick has not lessened my love of him. Not so with Meelo.
It's a little odd that the octopus fritters weren't sharktopus or something, isn't it?

I'm hoping Toph will hand Kovira's ass to her, but I don't think Old Lady Toph can really take on a whole army of metal benders on her own.
Sometime around a year and a half ago we were similarly duped on a large scale. We got the news from the higher-ups that our Book 4 budget was getting slashed, almost to the tune of an entire episode’s budget. We had two options: 1) let go a significant number of crew members several weeks early, or 2) make a clips episode. We never considered the first option.
That was better than I expected! Korra's section was the weakest, but I loved the Wu/Mako commentary and Varrick was amazing. I loved that in true Ember Island Players-style they were able to look back and go, "Oh, yeah, we wrote Mako like a dick."
Varrick was super fantastic.
"Oh, yeah, we wrote Mako like a dick."
Just like his grandfather, apparently.
Yeah, that was no Ember Island Players, but it wasn't terrible.
Glad to see the writers admit Mako was a dick and Unalaq was a lousy villain.
I think the other villains ditching Unalaq was the best part of Varrick's story
So apparently Korra Book 4 is going to start airing on Nick Toons on Friday, but they're keeping the online release schedule as-is.
I have no idea what Nick is trying to do (and I don't think they do either.)
