Honestly, I could do with a Legends of Toph miniseries.
Just a couple episodes of short stories filling in between "I'm done being a cop. Bye." and "Hey Korra, welcome to my swamp."

I am 100% on board with this, especially if we can get some confirmation that Sokka is Sue's father.

There is another named Red Lotus member besides Zaheer's gang, Aiwei, Suyin's (former) adviser. They also said that Unalaq was a member.
It is interesting how Toph
seemed to have reverted to what she was like when she was a kid. She was pretty stressed out in the flashback where we saw her as a police chief. Now that she doesn't have any responsibilities anymore, she can be herself again.
It was a perfectly Earthbender/Toph-esque manner of dealing with Korra's issues; No healing, no running from the problem, just get her to stand her ground and face it down.
Assuming this ends with a big action set-piece (and even if they find a non-violent way to resolving everything, I'll be surprised if there isn't some impressive action on the way), I want Zuko, Toph and Katara to feature.
I won't even mind if they don't actually do anything. Just have some Earth Empire (or whatever) troops come round the corner and see them standing there. Cut away, with just some sound effects to let our imaginations fill in the details.
Toph didn't deal with Suyin's run in with the law that way. She covered the whole thing up and then resigned. So it's interesting to see how the stresses of family, work, and bureaucracy changed Toph, and how getting away from all that changed her back.
Er, we saw quite a few people besides Zaheer's group. They were just mostly nameless sentries.
Fair enough, one guy and a secret finale base.
Do you want detailed background on every single member of the organization? I'm not sure what you're looking for here. The point is that there were multiple other members of the society shown besides Zaheer and his core group.
Show them start talking about evil plot of the episode in different safe houses that were run by random inn keepers and accessed by secret chess moves or something as an introduction and then nothing else. Instead it was all caves and camps.
Support for Zaheer and his group appearing in ways or places that suggests they actually are part of something bigger than just themselves. Safe houses, dead drops, supply caches, getting smuggled around, &c. by other members of the Red Lotus. You can do this in a way that's just scenery and/or takes less than a minute of setting. The way that the White Lotus was introduced (playing a special form of pai sho with somebody seemingly normal at what would have otherwise been a random inn) gave the implication that there is a massive network of people who support the cause that you can work with provided you know the secret code. The way the Red Lotus was introduced lacked that.
What they did with Aiwei could well have developed into that, but his motives or allegiances were never really explored.
Plus he was immediately betrayed by Zaheer in the spirit world for getting tailed by Korra. Really the whole thing just felt like a deus ex machina to get Zaheer inside the 'safest city in the Earth kingdom' potentially via blackmail/bribery or strong arming rather than the Red Lotus having infiltrated every city in the Earth kingdom and deciding to take advantage of their good fortune to strike at the Avatar.

Why does she need to be in the center? She can be back at the swamp sipping tea

Sitting back in safety while wrecking havoc in the middle of a fight?
That doesn't sound like Toph.
So i recently plowed through Avatar:TLB and am starting on Korra. I'm only a few episodes in but im kinda undecided if i like it or not. does it get better? Korra kinda seems less likable then Aang in several ways.

I don't think Korra gets much more likeable, unfortunately. I would say the new "Team Avatar" isn't as likeable overall as the old one.
But the fight scenes are better, the pacing is more cinematic, the social commentary has a few more shades of moral grays, and I really liked the higher-tech setting and (with one exception) the villains.

Yeah, Bolin is probably the only one even close to being as likable as a Sokka or Toph, and none of them come close to matching Zuko in terms of character arc.
I'm still a little mad that we didn't get
any classic blind jokes from Toph during the swamp training.
I do like that toph described her daughters as not being very good at metal bending, when they're probably the best metal benders in the world other than toph
maaaaaaaybe. i get the sense that kuvira was pretty good with metal. also that pins and needles guy that was evil seems like he had some skills to pay the bills. i'm not sure if its good or bad that lin isn't better with it...like sometimes kids don't live up to their parents awesomeness.

Sipping tea sounds exactly like the one thing she would have picked up from Uncle Iroh before he went to the spirit world.
Toph is the uncouth Iroh now.
She totally drinks tea with her slimy mushrooms.

The second season is okay at best.
The third season is amazing.
The fourth season is continuing to be amazing.

I guess she never saw an opportunity for one.
Why is there no "Boooo" button when we need them?
We should have seen that coming.
You might even say we were blindsided.
