Avatar: The Legend of Korra

Eh, I dunno. I just never liked the idea of a shipping episode or chapter to something. I hated all of them in the first series too but it was a different story there.

At least this show has an actual excuse for shipping unlike last time with the inexplicable Zutara thing. In Airbender all the couples were freaking obvious without any love-triangles or much in the way of variance.

Eh...the scene in the crystal prison where Zuko and Katara are bonding is somewhat romantic in a subtle way and they writers were vague about how Katara felt about Aang. So I can see that scene fueling the flames for shipping wars but in all seriousness, Zutara fans are out of their minds lol.

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.

You mean Tenzin. sneer

Technically, we had love stuff in episode 1 & 4 in the first series. vin

Also, Naga needs more screen-time, and Pabu's so kawaii.

Going off of you guys discussion, i'm really glad I haven't seen the newest episode. I have zero tolerance for romantic sub-plots.

Someone let me know when the story gets back to focusing on ass kicking. Pro-bending doesn't count.

hater of love. sneer

That kid has issues. Serious issues.

Random Conspiracy Theory Time: What if Amon realized who Bolin was when he kidnapped him, and deduced that Mako and Korra were the ones who rescued him? And what if, Asami is an Equalist Chi-Blocker who he's assigned to get close to all of the Fire Ferrets so he can set them up for a fall?

She's just too perfect for my tastes.

Yes, count me in with the theory that she's an equalist spy. From a narrative perspective its perfect to introduce tension and allow Mako to brake up with her and get together with Korra without straight up dumping her like a douche.
