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."
Wesley: We're going to bring Angelus in alive. Connor: No we're not. Gunn: I thought you said capturing him wasn't an option. Wesley: Changed my mind. Connor: Change it back.

Varrick was super fantastic.
"Oh, yeah, we wrote Mako like a dick."
Just like his grandfather, apparently.

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.
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'.

Niiiiice. I may have to hit up iTunes for that.

Yay new Korra! (Which was unexpected, given it's a holiday weekend.)
I loved loved loved Opal shutting Bolin down. Although Mako should have said more on the order of "You meant well, but you were naive," rather than "You were just doing what you thought was right," because so is Kuvira.
Also nice to see Lin back.
And the teaser for next week was pretty funny.
