Not much to say about this one, just Mako and Asami further investigating the attacks on the Southern Water Tribe ships while Bolin does stupid shit for Varrick. There were a few things of note: Unalaq was in the Spirit World for some unknown reason, his children think Korra's dead, Varrick is behind the boat attacks (no link to the spirits has been established, but the remote detonator is his), and Korra is apparently with some Fire Sages and has amnesia.
 
Really happy to see the Fire Sages. As for Varrick, I probably would have been more surprised if someone hadn't pointed it out in the thread. Then again, I may not. Who knows.

I'm guessing Unulaq is angering the spirits some way, and that's why he's in the spirit world?
 
why does mako know everyone in the mafia by name lol

is it part of his backstory? i pretty much forgot everything in the gap after season 1
 
it is, Mako and Bolin were raised on the streets
they've worked with the triads before

anyways, Varrick is still the best character

you can't change my mind
 
So there was something suspicious about Varrick. Dat smug grin he had at the end. I really hope they don't turn Bolin into a jerk for the whole season. As for the main story, it was good. It's nice to see the side characters do stuff, especially Asami. But I swear to god, if that stupid love triangle comes back, I'm gonna be pissed. I wonder what Unalaq was doing in the spirit world. Yay, fire sages!

I think I just facepalmed about 3 times. Amnesia? Seriously? Amnesia? Why? That's so bloody cliche, it's not even funny. Is she at Ember Island? And here I thought the spirit was going to drag her into the spirit world or something.

Ah, I knew Varrick had some ulterior motive. Obviously he has a lot to gain by bankrupting Future Industries. But to what end is he doing it? Obviously, he did the explosion at the protest to gain support for the South, so he's clearly on that side. He's just...using illegal methods? And lying? I dunno.

And how old is Mako, anyway? I mean, is he seriously qualified to go out on dangerous sabotage mission? I was just thinking about it. Like, in TLA there was a reason they were all teenagers, and it made sense why they were alone. In TLOK...why aren't there any adults fighting with them? They need more adult friends. They need...they need someone like Tenzin. When's he coming back?

Why WAS Unalaq in the spirit world? Maybe you guys are right, maybe he IS controlling the dark spirits in some way. And can we have a Bolin subplot that ISN'T annoying? I think the writers have no idea what to do with him.

Overall, interesting. The story's coming together a bit more. Now it's really unclear what the goals are, and who the real enemy is.

EDIT: I forgot about the love triangle thing. Goddamn it. Listen, Mako, Asami, just because Mako isn't with Korra anymore doesn't mean Asami can immediately hit on him. Mako, make up your goddamn mind.
 
Okay, I'm still watching the original Avatar: The Last Airbender series when I can, and even though I'm not that far into it, I just had to comment on the episode I just watched. Remember when I said the comedy was kind of awkward? Well this is where the comedy really gets weird... Like when Aang runs from that giant sea dragon or whatever and he does that crazy anime run? But I think the kicker for me is when Aang shows off that trick, and this one random guy gets so excited he foams at the mouth then passes out! I laughed, if only because I was thinking to myself "what the FUCK is this all about?!"

Still, this episode seems a lot more joke-heavy then plot-heavy, compared to the previous 3 episodes, which is not to say that it's bad per se, and it certainly wasn't as awkward as the in the first two episodes.

I also like seeing Sokka being put in his place and displaying some humility, that guy needed to be taken down a few pegs. Plus minor details, like Katara removing the water in Aang's lungs via water bending, it's all pretty cool. And once again, the fight scenes are awesome!

...I feel awkward for talking about an episode released years ago that no doubt all of you already know about, but still, I just HAD to get that out, because it was just so weird to me!
 
Avatar has a lot of filler episodes. Especially the whole beginning of Book 3. But in general they're good.

also wan is totally aladdin
