I will say that I'm getting a little antsy about them putting Jinora in danger so Kai can rescue her all the time.

Well Jinora has saved Kai from prison, then from a mother air bison. And it was Tenzin and Oogi who stopped the truck carrying Jinora, Kai only mostly helped.

So has book 3 actually been good?

Yes.

Aw man, now you've just made me remember how hard it was watching ATLA Book 3. Every time it was on tv every day going through the whole series it would reach Nightmares and Daydreams, then just loop round to the start again, so I watched thinking maybe, just maybe this time I'll reach the end.

Nope, had the watch the rest of the drat thing online since they'd never show it! Or it'd be in between two episodes of Book 2 with no way of knowing.

Not that it matters, because it's only a kids show, right? Korra, Spongebob, iCarly, it's all the same, stick some flashing lights on, they won't tell the difference. Bah.

I really don't think Korra's going to end up ruling anything. I doubt Zuko's daughter is a dictator and Tenzin isn't turning into one (hopefully), so more than likely she'll try and find someone who can rule the Earth Kingdom, there might not need to be a Queen anymore. And if Korra is ever in position to rule the Southern Water Tribe, she'll find someone else, or just let Eska and Desna split it, they're on somewhat okay terms now that they're no longer trying to kill her.

She'll follow on the avatar principle of keeping balance and attempting to find a happy solution by finding others who can rule instead, Aang didn't become the Air Nomad representative for Republic City, he let an Acolyte do it, he never ended up ruling anything.

I really think (and hope) this continues onto Book 4, I can't see it ending in such a neat manner in three episodes. Though by this point in Book 1, Korra was having flashbacks and in Book 2, Bolin was stopping the assassination of Raiko. So maybe Book 3 is wrapped all nice and tight so we can have another villain next book.

I'm surprised Korra didn't even think of at least trying Sandbending out, guess Metalbending is at good as we got ,which Aang never even tried, not once in the 60 years he could.

And Toph could somewhat sandbend, when she made a Ba Sing Se sculpture on the beach.

So, were Ghazan and Ming Hua an item? That is the most important question of the day.

They're probably still alive, Ghazan covered them in lava, but he can bend that, so we'll hopefully see them next book. It'd be a bit silly if he were killed by lava, as a lavabender. And also kill the woman he (supposedly) loves.

That finale was fantastic, some excellent bending fights, no large deities wrestling in a large city. But just a couple things, this is the second time Jinora has saved Korra in the finale, at least she had the help of all the airbenders this time. And how did she know the poison was metallic? I'm guessing she overheard them talking about it. It also means the guy who administered it was a metalbender instead of a waterbender. The two extras also disappeared once Korra went crazy, maybe they went back to their leader to tell them of Zaheer's failure.

Looking forward to next book, since it's pretty far ahead, hopefully we'll see it debut soon.

I still think Bolin should've closed the door behind him so the lava kept going down the stairs, but oh well. Least he learned how to stop it, else he would have died a horrible, painful death.

You know, for kids!

The door was wooden.

Whoops, should've specified, the new tunnel he made for everyone just before he lavabends. I thought he was gonna close it behind him and funnel it another way, down the stairs, but learning a new skill works also.

They said the Red Lotus came about when the White Lotus openly came out of hiding to help the Avatar. If he's still alive, he'll probably be very old.

I thought she might've broken or at least injured her legs when she fell of that loving cliff and landed badly. She was flying most of the time, or lying on the ground, so possibly. But being weak from mercury poison seems to have seized up her limbs, though she could move her hands around a little bit. I dunno.

Korra can't be the last avatar, we need the next series of a young hick Earth Avatar from the boonies trying to understand a futuristic world of flying metal cars and energybending teleportation and everyday people with airbending flight and and and :fap:

Huh, I've been throwing titles around my head and one of them was Balance. That probably makes sense.

Still, after the bittersweet ending on Book 3, Book 4 better be titled Sunshine.

Jan 2015 is four months away and they are saying how much it's nearly, nearly finished guys. So it's not too impossible.

"This video is unavailable in your location" Niiiiiiick. :argh:

But with what you said, 24 days is the 4th October? That soon?

I mean, I'm happy to not wait as long, but that means it'll be over sooner and shows how much they care about the show to just shove it in our faces.

If they do a double episode to start, then a double episode at the end, then Book 4 will end on the 13th December. Not that soon. :(
