I’m hard-pressed to think of any long-form TV series, any at all, that ended as perfectly as both Avatar and Korra have.
SUCK IT, LOST!! SUCK IT, GALACTICA!!!
Zoe: Jayne. This is something the Captain has to do for himself. Mal: No! No, it's not!

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
THAT was a wonderful ending to the series.

That was nicely done. Tied up a lot of things, resolved a lot of character dynamics, and even democratized the Earth Kingdom!
Well done, show!

When Wu was first introduced, I never expected that they'd, like, actually develop him and make me kind of like him.
So much to love about the finale. I especially loved how, just like in the A:TLA finale, every single fucking character played an important role. Even Meelo got his chance to shine, finally!

So sad it's all over!!!
Wu came through, Varrick came through.
The reason my kids love this show (and A:TLA) so much is that kids are vital and treated like people. They are expected to come through and respected for their power and ideas.

Technically it's got spoilers the whole way through, including the URL and the header image. It's a good piece, though.

The AVClub recap was late getting up, and you can tell that the writer put a lot of effort into it.

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.
That was good. The Kuvira/Korra fight in the cockpit was pure awesomeness.
Overall, I'm satisfied with the ending, though sad we're done with Korra's story (and possibly the Avatar-verse). With how strong the last two seasons have been, it's a shame there won't be more.
I still find Wu kind of annoying, but I was happy to see him grow.
Totally wasn't expecting them to push the Korra/Asami relationship as far as they did, even if they left (very little) room for doubt. I was never specifically a shipper where they were concerned, I actually loved their friendship, but them being romantically involved works just as well.

This is where I was too. I loved them as friends, but I could also them as lovers if they both wanted it.
