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!

even democratized the Earth Kingdom

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.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

So many great moments!! What a great ending! I like how the vines fought back. Sure, folks are calling it a "chain reaction", but I saw it more as the spirit vines fighting back, and attempting to wipe out she who used them so wrongly. But then Korra stepping in to protect her. And that love of humanity, to protect your enemy, is what opened the new spirit portal.

I liked how Asami's father had a chance to redeem himself. Very sad about the ultimate sacrifice. And i thought for sure that Mako was done for, and loved the brotherly love that has Bolin return to save him.

Wu stepping up! Multiple times. First to help with crowd control. Then with the great idea of the badgers. And lastly the realization that Earth Kingdom should be a Republic, and stepping down. Lots of growth there.

I loved how the show respected children, gave them a voice, and allowed them to participate. Meelo came up with the plan that delayed the giant mech suit. While the plan didn't work directly, it did slow things down to give the hummingbirds a chance. But the fact that they went with the 9 year olds plan is big.

The other thing I loved is the TON of strong female characters. Not just warriors. But showing strong mothers, female leadership in politics, police, and military. Female leadership in enterprise. Loved that! Need more of it.

Loved how Zhu Li dipped Varrick, and Varrick was the weepy one. I could totally see that being me! If only I could find a geeky woman like that! Ha.

All around. Loved the show. Sad to see it done. But happy it ended well. Glad Nick gave the show room to breathe. Alowed it to become more adult, and not just a Saturday morning cartoon.
