It's great and it ended on a fairly dark note. I'm excited about where it can go. The first couple seasons were really flawed.

You think if it came to it, I wouldn't kneel down and suck Dumbledore's 90-year-old decrepit dick? Man, I would suck so hard, he'd think he took some kind of magical viagra, because his fuckin' penis would suddenly spring back to life.

Hope that answers your question.

I only watched the original Avatar series after Korra was already out and thought "Hey I kinda like these shows, let's see what the TVIV thread is like." Oops.

This last season was pretty good, you should watch it.

Quite good, but never, ever, read the thread. Although that was true of Avatar as well.

It's the closest Korra has gotten, as a complete season, to Avatar in its entire run. The origin of the avatar two-parter last season was still the best it's done as a show though.

yes the next season is the last one and it's pretty much done. They are just waiting for the Korean slave labor to finish up animating.

I believe they have a deal with Nick for at least one more season. Whether or not that actually airs on TV or is just web based we'll see. Obviously actually making it isn't guaranteed since networks can and have backed out of these things in the past.

It's made and finished, and its released in January online in one big bag. No weekly releases, Netflix style shoved out the door.

I thought I just read something this week that said they're going to release the entire thing at once Netflix style. Maybe that was just a specific region or after it airs on TV or something.

It's because you haven't watched the early ones recently and don't realize how lovely your tastes were then. Or you have and your taste is still lovely.

They do not have a single redeeming quality.

I would argue it was definitely better than the first season of Avatar and on par with season 3. Shame that even though the show got legit good that the thread found ways to go horribly horribly wrong.

I can barely remember anything good from the early seasons of FG, I think it was probably at its best the season before cancellation and then the season or two after it got revived.

I watched Rectify and found it to be good in every way except being not-boring. It has a really cool main plot and character and devotes a painful amount of time to other stuff. The last four episodes were good but not really enough payoff to keep me interested. The brother-in-law character gets so much focus even though he is just a boring douche. Most of the show's ambiguity derives from the main character being almost pathologically reticent and passive.

Rectify probably has the best use of recurring flashbacks I've seen in a show, though.

I loved the Tick cartoon and I have to agree with this 100%. There's nothing the live action Tick tried to do that Teen Titans Go doesn't do better in animated form, so if they really want to bring back anything it should just be the animated Tick. They can keep Warburton as the Tick's voice though.

Amazon, if you're going to go bringing back unlikely series can you please give The Critic another go? It doesn't have to be good, I just want something to compel Al Jean to finally quit The Simpsons.

How many go's does that show need to get? Didn't it already get three?

The show really is better off with a shorter season. I feel the same as you about a lot of that stuff. A lot of scenes feel like they're just rehashing the same thing we've already seen multiple times and Daniel's Forrest Gumpishness stands out a lot more.

I finished watching the new Amazon pilots and the only one I really liked was Red Oaks. I hope it gets picked up because after Mozart in the Jungle and Bosch that'll make three shows on Amazon that I'll be really looking forward to now.
