    Episode 5 was pretty funny, I really enjoyed it :D. It's nice to have some non-Amon themed episodes in between the heavier ones.

    I find it interesting that the father of Toph's children isn't known.

    Great episode, really thought we were gonna see the first glimpse of Korra in the Avatar state or her airbending for that final round. Airbending might not be so "legal" as far as pro-bending rules go but as long as she sticks to water bending i see no problem with her getting some glowy eyes action going

    Yes he does cannot wait for the inevitable flash back episodes so we get to see some grown up Aang gang action.

    As for episode 6 it was pretty good, Amon is steamrolling through everything so theres gonna have to be a win on the cards for the good guys soon, also a bit dissapointed with the complete lack of Korra airbending so far

    Holy crap. What an episode. The action sequences just keep getting better and better - that closing section? That was like most finales, but it's only the 6th episode. Excellent.

    RE: Korra's airbending - I can somewhat understand it. In the Legend of Aang, the only way for Aang to defeat the Firelord was if he fully mastered all the elements, so these were the main focus. However, for this, there is no such need (yet).

    Aang does look a bad ass grown up though.

    That......
    was.......
    AWESOME!!!!

    The battle at the end. And, as boney said, only 6 episodes in. I would imagine, that when we do see the Avatar State it will be similar to the time at the end of Aang Season 1: I think she also will lose control and that everyone will be terrified and shocked at it's power. That it'll isolate Korra a bit from her friends and will be exactly what Amon was looking for in getting people to his anti-bending side.

    Toph's daughter is a badass!!!!!! too. (And loved the briefest glimpse of Toph in the flashback obviously at some trial that links to the current situation/Amon).

    Also, I saw a screengrab/wallpaper
    Of Korra talking to adult Aang in spirit form as he used to do with Roku. It may have been fan-made but I suppose it's gonna happen eventually

    Since there is only going to be twenty-odd episodes (can't remember the exact amount) I would imagine that it's going to be three books of around 8 episodes so the fireworks will by flying pretty much from now on I suppose

    Oh was that the structure? I was thinking it might have been along the lines of the 26 over three books with a couple of long mid season breaks. There's the option for more? Wonder how they'll structure the book/season structure. Surely it'll get other seasons if they want. Avatar was a big ratings and critics winner and even bigger DVD winner for them surely......... (Where's Richard Dower's numbers fetish when ya need it :)

    If 26 over two seasons (Each season being a book I presume) then, if they do take the option of another season I presume they would only choose to do one more season ala Aang: have your story, start it, develop it, finish it........ (although it would be great to see a 23 episode Book Three. Loving it so far)

    I'm just wondering how the story arc will manage over so many episodes. In the original Avatar, Aang had to learn all the elements and deal with the war etc etc. Korra only needs to master Air. I mean, she still needs to get glowy in the Avatar state and defeat Amon, but over 3 seasons?

    Dunno, I think they could have it wrapped up in two.

    I think the fight at the end of episode 6 was about demonstrating to her how much she needs airbending. The lack of it prevented her from following them and even caused the metalbender to have to stop following them and rescue her. Water and earth can be very powerful in the right situations, but against an opponent with airships there may not be either of those elements handy. Fire and air are the two that will almost always be available, but fire has limited utility beyond raw aggression. Air would round out her raw offensive power with a lot more options.

    Aang was much more spiritual than Korra. That side of it came more naturally to him. I would imagine that Korra will need a whole season devoted to mastering it. I also think she'll need to get more involved with energy bending than Aang did in order to counteract some of the power removal and chi blocking that Amon will do.

    I'm thinking that Korra will need to work on the spiritual side at some point, in order to get into the Avatar State, which will likely gain some importance (I hope[/i]). Right now she is too head strong and aggressive to achieve it, I think, so this season will eventually be her mastering air bending before moving on to the spiritual side.

    Really do hope we see the Avatar State making an appearance.

    Pretty wild speculation, but maybe energy bending will allow Korra to bring more equality by allowing people who want to the opportunity to acquire and train bending ability without having to be born with it.

    Another great episode. Loved Bei Fong's use of Toph's sonar trick. Was great to see in action again. I also loved how they reminded us that metal bending is just another form of Earth bending- that they are actually bending the tiny imperfections in the metal as opposed to the metal itself.
    When the guys snuck in through the floor I thought there was a flaw: Why not open up a hole beneath the machines? But then I noticed that they seemed to be on some kind of plate covering the rest of the floor. Now, I suppose Bei Fong could have taken chunks up from that section and chucked them at the machines but ya gotta cut them some slack :).
    The plot was pretty predictable but it was still a good one. They've really started fleshing out the storyline over the last three weeks.

    LOVED seeing Tenzin kicking some serious arse. and the cabbage guy. Hahaha. Brilliant.

    It's actually pretty hard to tell what Asamin's motives are now.

    Re: the Fire Ferrets entering;

    I am assuming that the whole room was covered in platinum, so the metal benders couldn't bend, but this also possibly prevented their earth bending from working. However, the Fire Ferrets were underneath, thus were able to Earth Bend as they weren't blocked off by the platinum.

    However, it doesn't really matter, which proves how strong this show is in every other aspect.

    You can see Bei Fong using earth bending in the fight just before the fire ferrets arrive, so earthbending was possible from inside the room.

    I'd say the reason they didnt trap the machines in holes is because you need to move the earth somewhere and in that confined space with such big machines it would have required a lot of work to put them all into their own sink holes.

    As for the fire ferrets they were coming from outside the room so the earth was being pushed back through the hole they made.

    Did anybody catch Tahno's line to Amon just before he took his bending in And There Winner Is? I only ask as I could've sworn he said "No, Ray, please don't do this!".

    Not fully sure, but I really doubt it.

    Just did a check and it's not there, but the Last Airbender: Legend of Aang is on. I personally would recommend checking this out first as you'll gain a much greater appreciation for Legend of Korra, but it's not necessary as they're two completely different shows (though set in the same universe) with different characters. You'd just have a better understanding.

    If you haven't watched it yet, the first few episodes aren't anything amazing as such and the first part of the first season is somewhat kiddy-ish, but if you're willing to give it the time, you'll get some of the greatest character progression, story lines and action sequences than any other cartoon out there, if not most TV shows.

    So far Korra is shaping up to being a pretty amazing show too.

    Ahh it's ok.

    you didnt spoil
    Sokka's appearance in flashback
    so it's not all bad.

    but does this
    possibly put tarlock on as a possible Amun suspect since he could in theory use bloodbending to block bending?

    I completely missed Sokka being in the flashback. Did we also get to see an older Toph too?

    It's brilliant that bloodbending is back. For me, the Puppetmaster has to be one of the darkest episodes from Legend of Aang.

    I think no, specifically because his reaction when korra accused him of being just as bad as amon.

    That courtroom scene seems massively important - am I right in saying that all flashbacks/hallucinations take place there? I wonder if that's also where Sokka dies. It'll be massively brave if they show that.

    Yep, it certainly is extremely important.
    If anyone is interested, here's some an interesting theory and analysis of the flashbacks - http://birdbrainblue.tumblr.com/post/24281699688/an-analysis-of-the-flashbacks

    Is that an older Toph?
