If you hadn't already guessed, this post is full of spoilers!
Okay, so there was a TON of stuff to talk about in the newest episode!
First off, how awesome was it to see Lin and Iroh again(even if it was pretty short lived, at least for Iroh :/)? I was glad to get out of Republic city for this book, but I actually kind of missed it. so it was nice to go back.
Obviously a biggie is Mako and Korra breaking up(really though, who didn't see that one coming?). I personally think they'll end up together again before the series is over, but hopefully they'll both do some growing up in that time, because they both clearly need it,
Obviously Korra was antagonizing Mako through a lot of it; she wanted Mako's opinion when he was supporting her decisions, but then he gives his opinion and she thinks he's taking someone else's side. I understand that Korra's a bit rough anyway, plus she's a teenage girl and has a LOT of pressure on her shoulders as the Avatar(and a member of the Southern tribe) but that doesn't mean she should constantly yell at him and expect him to just be okay with it. And her flipping over his desk right in the middle of his office with everyone there was really too much.
That being said; Mako could have tried to talk to her before he told the president, or at least explain why he thought what she was doing was wrong. I doubt she would have listened, but he should have given her fair warning about it beforehand. I can't say if he did the right thing or not by telling the president what he knew, but he should have talked to Korra about it before regardless. (Frankly though, I think he's been pretty patient with her up until this point)
I really hope they don't bring more characters in for them to date; I'm fine with them not dating(hopefully they'll grow up a bit) but I don't want them to have some stupid romances just to fill the gap, you know?
I was glad to get to see the twins being bending badasses, but I hope at some point they'll turn against their father(I don't know how likely that is, but still, it would be cool)
I'm interested to see how the bombing thing works in; I haven't quite figured that one out yet.
I don't totally hate the president yet; it makes sense to me for him not wanting to go to war after only being president for 6 months. Still, I get the feeling he's going to be an antagonist down the line. I don't know, it's just the vibe I'm getting.
THAT ENDING THOUGH! UGH! Really?! Cliffhangers man!!! Maybe she'll have a cool spirit world journey now! That would be awesome! (Maybe we'll be seeing the first avatar in the next episode? Like she takes a spiritual journey to her past like Aang did with Roku?)
Still though, I wanted to see the Fire Nation! I want to see Zuko and his daughter dang it!
My biggest thing about this episode though was Bolin; poor thing is just being completely ignored by his brother and friends! That's kind of been a small theme throughout the new episodes, but I felt so bad for him on the dock when they first got back to Republic City!(or when Mako was talking to them in their apartment! He was such an a**! And poor Bolin looked like a sad puppy that had just had his dreams shattered) I'm glad he's getting some attention, but I'm worried that something bad is going to happen with the whole business thing; I hope not though, Bolin is always getting the short end of the stick. He needs good things to happen to him!
Okay, this got long, but what do you guys think about the episode? All I can say, is that I'm really starting to get into this season, and I can't wait for next week!
