It's a very elaborate fart joke. That's all the air from her colon, which is why he went to the trouble of wrapping it around her head instead of just sucking it out.

It looks worse than it actually is, he's just extracting the mother of all air embolisms from her blood. He actually saved her life.

The premise does not leave much space for people who can kick the ground so hard that can make rocks fly or making fireballs using sweet kung fu moves, would definitely not watch.

Am I the only person who enjoys the show as a western take on Wuxia?

I agree with you. The whole point of fantasy is the fantasy stuff. You could make House of Cards in the Avatar-verse but what's the point when you can have it in regular world? I like the stuff with the bending and the spirits and junk. I wanna see people make protective ice domes around themselves and fire icicles at a guy riding a goat ox then astrally projecting a message to a caterpillar spirit or whatever. I mean a good story and characters are also important and fun to watch but if the fantasy setting is literally just a different background for boring real life poo poo then it's no fun. Benders gotta bend.

Of course elemental kung fu is cool! It is also juvenile and silly, and fun to see. That's why I'm watching the show!

Attention citizens of the Legend of Korra fandom: I have an important announcement to make. Moments ago Nickelodeon’s episode was liberated at the hands of visionaries, including myself. I’m not going to tell you my name, because my identity’s not important. I’m not here to disseminate ever-more-spoilery content at the expense of the fandom.

I think you’ve had enough of Nickelodeon spoiling 310 for you. It’s time for you to find your own path to the episode. No longer will you be denigrated by inept studios. From now on, you are free! I deliver 310 back into the hands of the people!

For those of you who don't want to risk checking spoiler tags, episode 10's been leaked online.

I like how tumblrites are reblogging the guy's post with the leak expressing their dislike, since that's kinda counter-intuitive.

So that gif was pretty much the Earth Queen getting iced, yeah. It's actually worse than that gif made it look, too, her eyes get bloodshot from the oxygen deprivation. :nms:
Ghazan seems like a pretty alright guy aside from wanting to throw the entire world into chaos. And I wish Korra got the message Zaheer gave Bolin and Mako before the end of the episode :negative:

drat that episode was good.

Also yeah the Earth Queen actually loving died. Probably the most violent death aside from the murder-suicide in season 1 (actually, how many confirmed deaths have there even been in Avatar as a whole?). Zaheer means business.

Love how Ghazan was being all buddy-buddy with Bolin for a bit there. Gives him a bit more personality.

Zaheer loving owns. Like, he should be the hero, quite frankly. Busting down the walls with lavabending was great. And the vacuum-bending was brutal and kickin' rad. What a great episode.

According to some stuff I read on a Nickelodeon website, the Dai Li were created specifically to stop this sort of thing.

I want to see him and old man Zuko in the same scene together, for some Dante Basco weirdness.

Yes yes, I know he doesn't voice old man Zuko but still.

They were created to keep out the Firebenders, nobody really assumed at the time that earthbenders would attack one of their own cities.

Well, presumably it wouldn't have been that easy with the entire earth nation army on the outer wall. When the Dai Li took it down, they had no opposition at all. Here, it was the inner wall and lavabending besides, so even if anyone was there to oppose him, they probably wouldn't even know how. It's like how in the old series, when Toph learned how to metalbend, most everyone was helpless against her because they simply had no idea how to fight her.
