Alright, as someone who only a few episodes ago did his fair share, if not an excessive amount of bitching about this season. I gotta say, these last 4 episodes where pretty damn awesome. I still cosider my complaints valid,especially that the B plot really should have tied better into the overall narrative. However, Verrick. Therefore everything is forgiven. Seriously, not just one of my favorite Avatar characers, but one of my favrite characters period. Love that they didn't change a damn thing about his personality after he went psuedo-villian on us, like it was all some kind devious act. No, that's just how he is and who he is. Installing a luxury suite cell in the prison he built because he figured he'd wind up there someday anyway... There is nothing about this character you can't fall in love with. Verrick is every kind of fantastic.
Now, let's talk about the bending fights. Thank god studio mir is back becuase these were some of the best bending battles I think the series has ever done. Bolin (on his home turf) vs. those waterbenders, great. Tonraq vs. Unalaq, one of the coolest waterbending battles ever. And obviously the Avatar is gonna pull out some sweet shit, but I really want to throw some spcecial praise at the combined effort of Mako and Bolin. I loved the way they worked together as well as how they fight in a perfect blend of pro-bending teamwork and moves applied to real world fighting.
...will continue later. I really need to get back to work.
