Also on a similar train of thought.. Regarding the nomadic Air Nation.. Did they ever actually have claimed land? I'm assuming they had some land other then the actual temples since growing veggies at such high altitudes would be rather hard.. If they were meat eaters(I know they aren't) would it be a feasible idea for them to shepherd around herds of flying bison for flying AND eating? Or trading to other cultures for eating..

I definitely didn't notice any leak, before I watched it on Amazon this morning. (While getting ready for work. Stupid kids' show has me addicted.  )"As long as I'm breathing, it's not over." Might want to watch who you're saying that to, Tenzin.

Man, this is some poo poo. It's a testament to how much stronger the writing is this season that I care far more about the fate of the fledgling Air Nation than I did about the fate of the entire world at the end of last season. I love that Tenzin finally got a chance to kick rear end. They made it clear that Zaheer alone is no match for him and can barely even hold his own. Again, we see good tactics on the part of the Red Lotus; Zaheer quickly separated Tenzin from his siblings to make it easier for his cohorts to pick them off. And it was smart of them to keep Combustion Woman on the airship. Tenzin alone might have been enough to fight off the entire group if it wasn't for her power being so completely broken. The finale is next week, right? Both parts at once?

Episode is available legally now on Nick.com Also no way is Tenzin dead. They would have hit him a lot harder in that last shot instead of just smacking him.

Holy poo poo, this episode. That was easily the best fight Tenzin has been in this series, bar none. They did an incredible job with the action conveying that even though he lost the fight Tenzin was the better airbender, and that even beat up and outnumbered three to one he was a credible threat without the artillery support of combustion bending. Though it makes me even madder that he was jobbing to equalist mooks in season one, since this fight shows just how skilled he is. Also speaking of that fight, holy poo poo Ming Wa's Cthulhu arms.  I have a feeling the finale will take place in the Fire Nation, since that's where Zuko dropped the plot point like a loving bomb. Also I am ready for Korra to be loving pissed when she sees the state of the air temple.

Sydin posted:Holy poo poo, this episode. I was really, really happy about this. I was hoping that they would show that Zaheer's airbending, while powerful and aggressive, is poo poo compared to an actual airbending master. The airbending style is the way it is for a reason, and Tenzin showed that off in spades. No way he is dead, but he's probably going to be an absolute mess when they take him to the fire nation/end up seeing Korra next.

I liked how Zaheer stopped being hot poo poo once he had to go 1 on 1 with Tenzin. Tenzin is probably the only person in the world with serious vs Airbender training, due to Aang teaching and presumably sparring with him. Zaheer has a huge advantage against everyone else in the world because he's inherently a very talented fighter and no one knows how to fight airbenders particularly well, but put him up against an actual master and he gets dominated and spends most of the fight on the back foot. Sad that Kya got chumped but she's obviously just not in the same league of power as Meng Hua. Also really great episode, as people have said.

Oh god, a finale in the new Fire Nation.  They actually had me going thinking they had killed off Kai. But I guess I should have known better, since all it looks like he did was briefly stun P'Li with a small gust of wind. Most heroic sacrifices on these kind of shows are worth more than that. The fights were a lot of fun. God drat, that icicle helicopter blade thing Ming Hua was doing. Hard to tell who got a worse match-up between Kya and Bumi. Another thing...Bolin seemed oddly easygoing at the beginning of the ep, considering how dire the warning they had been given by Zaheer was.

In one of the DVD extras from the original series they talk about how Aang, both because he's a child and by character, spends a lot of time dodging and evading, and that fighting a master airbender would be like fighting a wheat thresher. well we finally got that, and it owned. quote:Sad that Kya got chumped but she's obviously just not in the same league of power as Meng Hua.

My favorite part of the episode was Zuko learning Iroh's still around. That face he made was perfect. Really hope that's followed up on either at the end of this season or sometime next season. As has been said already, I really loved the fight between Zaheer and Tenzin. Especially with how it showed their difference in skill, like Zaheer using short wind-boosted jumps and Tenzin just flying up in a tornado of air.

He was the grand master of the White Lotus in the last series, and it would have been an interesting moment for Korra to reveal the White/Red Lotus split, and that members originally of his old order were the main villains. Iroh's reaction would have been an interesting character moment.

I wasn't an initial fan of the whole "we're anarchists!" plotline, but it's so tied into Chinese history (and current Middle Eastern history, unintentionally) that it's interesting to see it play out in Ba Sing Se more or less like it plays out in real life: it sucks.

drat, this show is getting brutal! I was seriously worried Kya or Bumi were going to die right in the middle of those fights. And Jesus, that ending with Tenzin up against the wall. We'll have to see next episode if they beat him to death. I'd assume not since keeping him alive as a hostage would be a better decision, but dude's going to be hosed up. I love just how effective these villains work as a team. Individually they're impressive, but together they are absolutely insane. Shout out to Bumi leaping on Ghazan and biting him. He's a ridiculous manchild, but the dude's effective in his own way. I love that he's not above dirty fighting when he's outmached. I don't know if they'll be moving to the Fire Nation for the finale. The RL is in an isolated location with a whole host of hostages they just beat down; seems like a good advantage. However, they may not want to stay in one place since the world could gather forces to go against them. Maybe the big showdown between Korra and the 4 will be in the NAT while the leader of the Red Lotus makes his move on the Firelord setting up book 4's conflict?

One thing I really loved about the animation this episode was just how damaged they managed to make people look within the confines of Nick's censorship. That shot of Tenzin up against the wall with his robes torn, bruised/dirty face, black eye, holding his arm, and struggling to support his own weight, brought a great visceral feeling to the whole fight. He looked like a guy who just took an explosion and fell two stories, and was then pelted by rocks and ice shards. It drove home the brutality of it all and it just captured me in the moment so much more.

No way Tenzin's dead, with how liberally they were spouting the words "die" and "kill" this episode, even ignoring the fact that he's the last bargaining chip they have to get Korra. Good episode, Bumi remains a loving joke though. I get that it's a kids show and he can't do anything lethal, but isn't he a close quarters fighter and an airbender besides? It was hilarious how he stuck around with his siblings to fight as if he was going to have meaningful impact.
