This Friday's Korra starts at 8, not 8:30, and is an hour long.

Korra: Well, that more than makes up for more than the rest of the season.

Oooh! I haven't seen Korra yet!

Yeah, that was pretty fucking great. Recontextualizes both series in a really interesting way. I had no idea Steven Yeun would have such a big part!

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

Huh. I am not sure what I think.

Brilliant insight from the A.V. Club comments:

The whole thing starts when Wan steals fire from the the Lion Turtle. That makes him Prometheus, right?

Wow, that was awesome.

Wow, the art in this is so different than usual in Korra. It's really lovely, and also excellent.

And now I'm at the end, and that was great. It really does explain a lot, and now we know why the spirit issue is so important. I'm guessing that Unalaq is channeling Vaatu, opening the spirit portal on purpose to import tainted spirits and increase the chaos and darkness in the world.

As for Raava, is she dead, or just bonded with the Avatar forever? Because she doesn't seem to have communicated directly with either Aang or Korra, and nobody has ever mentioned her. I'm just wondering, because the whole yin/yang balance thing seems like it would be perpetually out of wack if Vaatu lives and Raava doesn't.
