This show has been out for more than a day and I can't watch it because I remember gently caress all what happened in season 2 because Korra is so forgettable and refreshing myself is too much work. And I'm really pissed at myself for not wanting to watch it, especially because I got a fuckin' Korra avatar.

Just watch it, everything that you need to be reminded of is in the recap at the start of the episode, anyways.

If you don't want to watch the show, don't watch it. Going "I don't want to want this show and don't want to want this show but I'm going to MAKE myself watch this show" is dumb.

I'm willing to bet that the people in charge of releasing the episodes to online distributors weren't ready for the accelerated release schedule and are still working by the original one. That's probably why there's nothing online yet.

There's gonna be a Book Three panel on Friday July 25th at Comic-Con, where, in an alternate universe where the leaks didn't happen, the Book 3 trailer will debut. However, in our universe... poo poo, I don't know. Due to the accelerated airing schedule, the panel will take place AFTER the leaks have been caught up to.

It seemed like for a lot of the episodes last season it was "oh something interesting is happening? better cut to credits!" and then it's resolved in the first five minutes of the next episode.

Apparently, these next two episodes were supposed to be paired with last week's and next week's, respectively, so we're getting the conclusion of one two-parter and the beginning of another one this week, because... I don't loving know.

I don't know why the leaks were such a big deal. For starters, they were in Spanish. They weren't the first three episodes, and I didn't watch them because Korra as a show is more narrative than episodic. It just didn't interest me. Episodes 1 and 2 of Book 1 leaked a couple weeks ahead of the premiere, as I recall, and Nick didn't change their schedule.

Well, I'm not sure I can think of a better way of restarting a nomadic culture based on peace than forcing them to join the army at the first sign of their newfound abilities. Fake edit:  NOBODY LIKES CODE ANYMORE.

Did harmonic convergence just effect Republic City or what? The rest of the world seems pretty free of giant spirit whales and stuff.

That Zaheer Kya fight was pretty cool. We haven't really seen Kya do much but I guess it makes sense that she would be a pretty badass Waterbender.

When she got over Tenzin? Wasn't that a thing? I liked Bolin getting called out. That was nice. Also I guess the Earth Queen isn't a threat anymore even though she promised to declare War on Korra? I guess it makes sorta sense, because Korra and Lin Bei Fong would both just go "Hey the Earth Queen kidnapped a bunch of people to draft them into an army including a literal child using the same organization that allowed the Fire Nation to take over Ba Sing Se."

I didn't like his new hair cut at first, but thinking on it I kind of like how it's similar to an Air Nomad. I'm really liking the villains, and especially Zaheer, so far. SpiderHyphenMan posted:There's the Wilds Vaatu made in his fight with Korra, which is where the spirits had centralized. Bolin getting called out was great. I hope it sticks. Bolin is great, and an uncomplicated romance with him and Opal could be adorable. Also I'm pretty sure this is just finishing off Lin's arc where she goes from getting over Tenzin, to getting over herself and opening up to people again.

So wait did I hear right when Suyin said "Neither of us knew our fathers"? Like either Toph is cursed, or S&P has really loosened up.

If Bolin being a dick is just a long arc on not having to be an rear end to get someone to like you (and that being a jerk will actively harm you)all is forgiven. I'm really liking that Aang and Toph kinda messed up while parenting. A lot of shows make old characters like this in to people whose decisions and actions were always right and that gets annoying.

If they're pushed they can say it was the former, even if they intend the latter. SirKibbles posted:If Bolin being a dick is just a long arc on not having to be an rear end to get someone to like you (and that being a jerk will actively harm you)all is forgiven. Whether it was intentional or not, that seems to be where they're going. I'm curious if Opal will actually stick around, or if she'll just teach him to be himself instead of trying too hard. And yeah, I really like that even Aang hosed up pretty seriously in his parenting. I have to wonder if his kids being at all reasonably balanced individuals doesn't fall on Kitara's influence. Though, thinking about it, the only one that really seems all that balanced is also the only one who would have spent most of her time with Kitara. Tenzin was with Aang, Kaya was probably with Kitara, and Bumi was raised by Uncle Sokka.

I wonder if there was a moment in the writers room when they realized they were going to have to have Zaheer read the locket out loud to himself like a goddamn child learning to read.

Yeah, Zaheer reading the locket aloud wasn't a problem for me at all. Not only did it make sense, given it seems to be an idea he follows closely, but Zaheer's already established himself as a warrior-philosopher, randomly waxing on about things isn't all that odd.

It was read out loud for the audience who can't read Chinese. It's a classic TV trick. In foreign dubs of cartoons they will sometimes literally have a character read out loud signs and posters that the audience in the original language could read on their own when the animation cannot be altered.

That too. Isn't there a trope that describes technical logic versus in universe logic?
