Mako....and the action imo.
the action, really? There hasn't been a ton of it, but what we've been given has been terrific.

Compared to the early episodes of Airbender, the action is far less memorable imo. Probending just lacks the je ne sais quoi that life and death battles have. The most memorable battle so far has been the fight with the task force, if only because that resembled a swat team in action. To me anyway.

Well of course it does. Comparing pro-bending to fighting a war is like comparing football to a battlefield in feudal Europe. It's for entertainment, not survival. That same adrenaline pumping excitement isn't there, but that doesn't mean it's not good or fun to watch.

LoK is on a smaller scale thus far, but i would argue that the choreography is just as good, if not better than TLA.

Somethings wrong with you then. If Mako isn't brooding enough for a Batman fan like you...I don't know who would be.

he's ok

They've also had a few years to polish animation effects so everything is smoother and better looking.

Of course. But that still doesn't make it entertaining to watch lol.

Character model choreography is better, because we're tightly focused in on the characters themselves, considering the villains this time around are all hand to hand guys. It makes for better martial arts but not strictly better fights. What made the bending so fun to watch was how creative they could get. Sure, martial arts has always been the basis but I prefer it being a more subtle touch than the main focus of the fighting.

Well yeah, it looks better, though for me it's because of the style difference rather than quality. But that doesn't strictly equal better fights, obviously. Better looking fights maybe but not better fights.

New episode...

Mixed feelings on it.

When Bolin caught Korra and Mako...hahahahaah.

Bolin is amazing.

Fvck Mako in both ears. I know who I'd choose as my boyfriend.

Aura.

I like over-emotional shit like this. blushing

New guy needs to step off. That was way too unsubtle for a kids show.

Believe it or not, Mako was not at his worst in this episode. He had some good moments such as complementing his team, any scene with Asami had him showing some adorkableness, and he did say "sorry" which was more than I expected.

That said, he is still an ass and that doesn't change the fact that his problem in this episode basically amounts to which hot girl do I want to bang more? When he should obviously stick to Asami since going for Korra would hurt Bolin's and Asami's feelings while going with Asami would only hurt Korra, who has Bolin to make her feel better. There really shouldn't be a problem here lol.

Korra's actions made sense at least so I'm not as annoyed at her. Bolin is a saint lol. I'd have beaten the crap outta Mako if he just had to get two hawt girls instead of one. Freaking prick.

He did stick with Asami. He made it clear that he was choosing her. Korra was the one who kept pursuing him.

Oh he did. And I give him some respect for that. But he did kiss Korra back. And he was completely jealous of Bolin dating her, even though he is dating Asami. So respect is taken away since he obviously wants to hog both of them. Prick.

Poor Bolin. His heartbreak is treated as comic relief.

That reaction was the best thing in the episode. The animation and faces these characters pull has been amazing so far. Plus they really get comic timing. Funniest ep yet.

Actually did help some. Pays to know the rules.

Twas a good ep IMO. Bolin and Korra were both awesome. There was pretty good humour, like the Team's first huddle, and Bolin's reaction to Korra & Mako making out. The Pro-bending action was pretty kewl as well and Korra got to one-up Mako's feat from ep2.
At least now we know for certain that Korra has more balls than Aang does.

Also, WTF, are Asami and Mako Eskimos or something? That was laem.

Aang would have blown everyone out of the ring if he were a pro-bender. vin

I was expecting her to go Avatar State in despair. Would have been awesome. :l

As for the episode, I feel like it was a tad rushed. Remember, this is only episode 5 and we're already getting to the love stuff. I mean...the first series took time with it but here it's just, BAM! 5 episodes in and the fan girls are already getting a Makorra moment of epic proportions.

errrr, the first series was about a 10 year old. This one is about horny teenagers...

Well they have to rush it a bit. They've only got 12 episodes for the season.

Myself, I see this as an infinately better version of the Cave of Two Lovers ep. Shippy and funny. Very light stuff.
