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.

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.)

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."

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

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.

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

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.)

Nicktoons has always gotten the season airing later, apparently, but I wonder if they will end up airing the whole season on Nicktoons, even the online episodes.

And Adventure Time is just dropping four episodes this week. For perspective, episode 16 aired August 14, episode 17 aired October 28, episodes 18-21 air this week, and episode 22 airs December 4. Scheduling for that show makes Nickelodeon look downright considerate.

Teen Titans Go! is hit or miss for me, but I think I'm going to have to tune in for this one: Carrie Kelly's Going To Be On 'Teen Titans Go'.
