    This is kind of a ridiculous argument to be spanning four pages after three episodes of the show

    You guys still got nothing on SE++, 40 pages on why guns should/shouldn't be in Avatar.

    Leaked pic of Asami! Credit goes to the SE++ thread.
    Spoiler:

    Blood is flowing in the gutters of Tumblr right now over this.

    He's flustered around her but not around the must more unique looking Korra? Racism.

    We can't see where her other hand is in that picture. Maybe she's grabbing his firm, athletic ass in public? We'll find out next week.

    According to the creators, she was inspired partly by Lust, from Fullmetal Alchemist.

    Ahaha oh man, just burst out laughing at this. Thank you for that.

    Yeah, she's most definitely channeling a bit of Lust, which I am all for.

    I cannot wait to see this character throw down in combat with some Equalist ninjas. Her design is such classic "beautiful female" porcelain doll that it should be quite hilarious to see her actually kicking ass.

    Ah, June. She was a fantastic character. I would have watched a spinoff that was just her roaming around, getting in bar fights, hunting bounties, and generally having rad adventures.

    With Iroh as her adventuring partner, of course.

    I found out about the SE++ thread I think last Saturday, after the episode aired. I figured I'd read through the 10 pages that existed, since I had to go do a 24 hour no internet no cell phone shift. Sunday evening, the thread is up to like 40 pages. I was shocked. Shocked! Those guys can post. I'm at the point where I can only read so much before my eyes glaze over and roll up inside my head.

    Those last few pages made me go fucking crosseyed every time I tried to read up.

    On a more positive and forward note, does anyone know how well this is actually playing out as far as ratings? I know that it's probably scoring points outside its target demographic like the original series; I don't know how many seasons it's supposed to be but I could imagine that number growing on the back end of the hugely positive response it's gotten. I have seen a full 1 person say flat out that they didn't like it, but dozens who are loving it even if they aren't fans of this sort of thing. What's the word on the street from the creators, for that matter?

    FREEZE. Cool your jets. Ice to meet you. Take a chill pill. Stay frosty.

    Quote from Bryan:
    Korra Debut Draws 4.5 Million Viewers
    Great news! The premiere made quite a splash. At the core of that huge, unfathomable number was surely a dedicated fan base bugging motivating everyone they knew to watch the show. Thanks for that!

    It is certainly good news, but I don’t pay too close attention to these numbers. As long as they aren’t horrible enough to draw the ire of the network, then I just see them, shake my head in wonder, and keep plugging away. It is hard to comprehend a group of people that large. Anything bigger than the 2000 fans at the Comic Con panels is more than my brain can imagine. As long as we get to make the show, and people can access it, then I’m happy.

    From a press release:
    The series, which continues the mythology of the beloved animated franchise Avatar: The Last Airbender, also posted double and triple-digit increases across all kid and tween demos, averaging a 5.7/1.2 million K6-11 (+36%), 6.3/1.3 million T9-14 (+125%) and 5.5/1.9 million K2-11 (+17%). The Legend of Korra also ranks as the network’s most-watched animated series premiere in three years.

    I think it's doing pretty well.

    So after Toph learns metal bending, does she... leave her old teacher for dead?
    You mean the guy who took her parents' money and taught her nothing, then took even more money to basically kidnap her?
    I guess she did at that. I'm not sure I would have done any different if I was eleven, immensely powerful and seriously pissed off either.

    ...because dragons are AWESOME! That's why.

    I mean, even if someone stumbles upon the two of them, it would be a long time because someone can set them free.

    Also, how is it that no one bothers to ask the Earth King if he revealed important details to Azula, like the deal with the solar eclipse?

    It's a well-traveled road. They're trapped for, like, a day or two tops before somebody finds them.

    To be fair, he taught her nothing at the behest of her parents.

    But yeah, Toph is a hardass.

    FInally got to catch up on Ep.2 and Ep.3 last night. Turns out that Comcast is stupid and listed Ep.1 and Ep.3 under 'K' but listed Ep.2 under 'L' (or vise-versa, I forget exactly).

    Put me in the "it's not energy-bending, it's chi-blocking" camp. Whether or not it's permanent is still a mystery, but I just don't think there's enough visual cues to suggest it's actual energy-bending.

    Apparently the same girl who played Yue in the movie.

    If that woman's cleavedge made one more person pick the game up off the shelf, it was a net positive for microprose. And to be blunt, if taking her top off could have increased sales enough to get a sequel, I'd endorse it 100000% because I like playing great games.

    Just wanted to make sure that it wasn't Laura Bailey--if it were, it would have been too hilarious to watch without laughing uncontrollably at first, and thus, missing large chunks of the episode.

    We really need a new episode, both Avatar threads are starting to degrade to circular arguments pretty significantly :p

    (The SE++ Thread is sort of terrifying though, my brain hurts after catching up on that.)

    That said, I'm really excited that the non-bender is going to be joining the group this episode. Specially since she seems like a pretty good character.

    My hope is that he's blushing because Asami embarrassed him something fierce with her cutting dry wit and not because she's hot and happened to glance in his direction. That way, she and Korra can bond over their mutual disdain for boys and become bestest friends.
