Look at the wars going on right now just because people try too hard to protect everything that they end up being oppressors.<br /><br />I do love perspective a lot, and how we see things are very different, he and Korra were getting further apart and it was hardly his fault, she kept snapping and getting mad at him, plus he didn't betray anyone he was forced to say the truth, why take oaths then break them when it is convenient to do so?<br /><br />Bah broke her hear? she broke his desk! What did the poor desk do to deserve that? :(<br /><br />fahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02319940730902814435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6457912357775282637.post-72104627687600642762013-10-05T20:39:33.490-07:002013-10-05T20:39:33.490-07:00This episode was very interesting. Contrary to wha...This episode was very interesting. Contrary to what allot of people are saying about Korra's brash behavior, I found myself on her side through this entire episode. Consider this it is her duty as the avatar to protect the people of the world yet she cannot because of other people's decisions yet everyone expects her to just deal with it. Secondly the idea to go around the president and get General Iroh's troops to the south was not Korra's idea she just agreed with it. Not only that but most of the main characters including General Iroh agreed with her. Thirdly it is very understandable why she is so determined to get help for the south, because they are her people. He family, her friends, and her culture are being threatened and yet people are still hardly doing anything about it. <br /><br />On the note of Mako in this episode I lost almost all respect I had for Mako by the end of this episode. First off it is becoming clear that Mako values his career more than the girl he is supposedly in love with. Not only that but it seems to be more important than his brother and the fate of the southern water tribe. He chose his career over Korra, Bolin, Asami, and the entire south. Thus Mako has betrayed all of them and everything he stood for. <br /><br />When Korra and Mako broke up it was Mako who dumped Korra and the way she acted implied she didn't want to end their relationship. Also when she left she did not leave in an rage but in a depressed stage which one would not expect from Korra in that situation. This shows that Mako's betrayal and him dumping Korra truly broke her heart. <br /><br />Lastly it is because Mako betrayed Korra that she tried to go to the fire nation and thus was attacked by her cousins and the spirit. Now Korra is possibly hurt or worse and it is directly Makos fault. So by the end of this episode Mako has showed he is more concerned with his career than his girlfriend, his brother, his ex girlfriend now friend, and the entire southpole. He has also betrayed his girlfriend, his brother, his ex girlfriend now friend, and the entire southpole. He has broke Korra's heart and now because of him Korra is possibly hurt or worse.<br /><br />So yeah I'm definitely on Korra's side in this manner and unless Mako realizes that he screwed up bigtime I'm not sure I even want him and Korra getting back together.

The last one felt really rushed to me, but this one's pacing worked a lot better for me. There was a lot of great character stuff with Mako and Bolin, Varrick is still being all manner of awesome (though, as you say, increasingly shady), we got brief but fun bits with Lin and Iroh, and I liked how complex they're making the whole political situation. Overall, the interactions in this episode just felt deeper and better-written to me than in previous episodes. And with Korra getting spirit-swallowed I'm hopeful we'll finally get into the real meat of this season's story (it is entitled "Spirits" after all) and also see Korra finally do some soul-searching and stop being a jerk to every reasonable character she meets.<br /><br />And while the Meelo-lemur bit did feel a little filler-ish, it was cute and fun and I enjoyed it.<br /><br />I did find the bit with Unalaq saying "Oh, actually I do still need Korra to open the Northern Portal. I just said I didn't because that's what she needed to hear" to be clumsy and confusing, though.Devin Christensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15810969468739266414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6457912357775282637.post-47923126092149320522013-10-05T12:09:05.744-07:002013-10-05T12:09:05.744-07:00This was actually by far my favorite episode so fa...This was actually by far my favorite episode so far this season.

Love how this guy shows up out of nowhere...its way easier to introduce one new guy than to bring back the council and have Korra deal with 4 characters."<br /><br />The President was absent last season because his office did not exist. It explained in the opening announcer-prologue this season that in the 6 months since Amon was defeated the Council was disbanded and Republic City's "first" president was elected.Devin Christensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15810969468739266414noreply@blogger.com
