He certainly seemed non-plussed over her answer. I guess he thought there was no harm in asking.

>>105076
No. That was hackneyed saturday morning cartoon villain writing. The scene didn't need that dialogue, or any dialogue. It would've been more poignant transpiring with only the sound of the rain or with the underscored music by itself

>>105060
>Lin learnt a thing or two from uncle Sokka and Aunt Suki
Like walking in on her mother apparently making out with her?

>>105081
This. The only reason Amon asked is because it was a chance to show Lin in a superhero/honorable light some more. It's not a bad thing, but having that whole scene play out in silence would have been truly tear-bending.

>>105084
eh, i didn't have anny sukkoph pics handy

>>105077
>>105084
or it have played out totally different/worse

Lin - "even if I did know, I wouldn't tell you!"
Amon - "that is the truth so I'll let you keep your bending. Lieutenant, hamstring her. Make her a cripple just like her mother."

now that is some bad writing. be glad for the par for the course writing they're using

>>104904
Best Pema moment ever.

It doesn't say much about this moment in particular, but it says a lot about Pema.

I'm always so late to the party on these discussions.

THIS WHOLE EPISODE. GAH. FUCK. AUGH.

I don't normally join in shipping bullshit, but Mako shouldn't end up with anybody. Also, what happened to all of Bolin's lines? It's like, now that the plot got serious he can't talk anymore?

DAT FIGHTAN was fantastic. I love seeing the adult benders, and Tenzin shooting air bullets was kickass. Lin is always great but...but... oh god, Lin ;A;

Korra is finally learning to accept her role, it's nice to see. It was also nice to see her using waterbending for once. And to see Naga have a role.

If Asami turns evil I'm gonna be so pissed.

Big question though. When Aang was spiritbending, it was a battle of the wills. When he did Ozai he was still young and it was a power struggle and when he did Yakone he was older and more strong willed so it just was a given and he took it over.

If Amon is doing ANYTHING similar to how Aang does it, I cannot imagine that Lin wouldn't have put up a good struggle against it happening. She's a policewoman and she has a LOT to protect right now. I don't think she'd give up. Leads me to believe that the theory about it being blocked chi instead of removed bending is more likely.

>>104912

He didn't deny it, he just didn't mention it.

>>105097
Also also: dat Meelo

Best of the airbenders.

>>105102
>To earn your airbender tattoos, you must create and master a unique airbending move

>>105060
>. when they get her in prison she's going bust out and tear the place down from the inside out, without even needing bending

This sounds more like a "Learned from Iroh" kind of thing. ONE MAN ARMY.

As usual, I wrote a review of this week's episode on my bloggy-blog.

>>105076

He did, when he was about to take bolins bending skills (chp3) he gave the oportunity to all the 'criminals' he caught for this revelation perfomance to fight against him and if they win they could keep their abilities

>>105120
I do have to admit that mental image is pretty golden

#1 again, like every week.

>>105167

Until Breaking Bad resumes, of course.

>>105168

That's not until July and the season ends next week. I think we're safe.

>>105173

Plus, it's in it's last season, with the finale set in 2013, I assume season 2 will prolly air after that as well.

I don't think Korra and Breaking Bad share an audience.

>>105177

Yes, but that's a chart of overall iTunes sales for TV shows. From every genre and audience.

Two clips from the next episode:

#1: Korra and team cozy up with Gommu (Sparky Sparky Bush Man) underground after Amon's takeover.

#2: The love triangle of doom marches on...

>That's it, I'm shipping Asami and Lin.

Approval granted.

>>104945
>Probably because she was the only Avatar who outright said they would kill someone if they had to.

wtf. Why is everyone forgetting Yangchen? When Aang consulted her for what to do with the Fire Lord, here's how it basically went down.
Aang: "Avatar Yangchen, I seek guidance on what to do about the Fire Lord. As you are a fellow Air Nomad and thus share my belief that it is wrong to kill any living thing, I hope you can be of more use than the other Avatars w-"
Yangchen: "Kill the bitch."
Aang: "But... but... you're an Air Nomad! Don't you believe all life is sacred?"
Yangchen: "Yeah, it's a pisser, isn't it? You die inside a little when you sacrifice your beliefs like that. But still, kill the bitch. I kept peace during my tenure by scaring the SHIT out of everyone."

Yangchen is my favorite past Avatar. Just cause she's obscure and you may not have heard of her.

>>105199
I said Kyoshi was the only Avatar who actually SAID she'd kill someone. We know Yangchen would do it but only because we were told she did such a good job as the Avatar and was willing to do whatever it took to keep peace. And if IIRC Yangchen never told Aang to kill Ozai, she said he had a duty as the Avatar to protect the world at any cost, and it's okay if he does kill someone because he's the Avatar first and an airbender second.

Confirmed: Zuko’s daughter’s son is Iroh.

I swear, I'm going to be SERIOUSLY pissed off if next week we don't get resolution to the Spider-rat problem.

Is Amon going to do anything about them? How bad a problem is it? Would Benders do a better job taking care of things?

Eh, since the nonbending types seem to implicitly take jobs like exterminators, windowcleaners, office assistant etc. etc. I'd imagine that they'll be dealt with in Amon's Brave New Utopia.

This guy having the exact same voice as Zuko is pretty lame

Especially because it doesn't suit him

>>105258
He's had barely any lines so far, let's see how it works out.

>>105257
>exterminators
Surely firebenders are the best exterminators?

>>105261
In the sense that the easiest way to cure a disease is to kill the person who has it, sure.

>>105261
"Well, we solved your cockatoo-roach problem. Um... sorry about burning down your house..."

>>105257
>windowcleaners
This seems like a job for Water/Earth/Metal benders. They'd be less likely to have falling and dying issues...

>>105263
>>105264
Yes, exactly. If you can't solve a problem with fire, you're not using enough fire.

Best looking man in TLOK Y/Y?

>>105284
Tuoning Sitahk built this suit in a cave with a box of platinum scraps

>>105284
Very possibly, but I still need to see him without the hat before I can make final judgement. Hair's important too.
It's funny how I used to think his moustache was silly, but once I got to properly see his face, eyes and that grin, he suddenly looked handsome to me.

>>105284

>>105286
Maybe he's covering a huge baldspot.

Good news everyone!

>-11 AM: 3.536 million viewers, 0.95 A18-49

Other than True Blood, Falling Skies and redneck derby, it was the most watched thing on cable over the weekend. After last week's trough it's back to proper health and I'm sure the finale's going to see some hefty audience growth.

>>105270
>Wasting metalbenders on window cleaning

Metalbenders are second only to bloodbenders for rarity, dude.

>>105293
Oh, so they're TOO GOOD to be wasted on manual toil such as cleaning windows, huh? We should just leave it to those worthless hordes of nonbenders, HUH?

(Honestly though they don't seem that rare, can't pretty much any earthbenders train up to become one?)

>>105290
I wonder why the audience decreaased after episode 6- IMHO it was the best one.

>>105296
>Oh, so they're TOO GOOD to be wasted on manual toil such as cleaning windows, huh?

They're TOO RARE to be wasted on jobs other people could do.

>We should just leave it to those worthless hordes of nonbenders, HUH?

Or other benders.

>Honestly though they don't seem that rare,

Look again. There's one whole group of them in all of Republic City, and they all trained under Lin, who was taught by Toph.

>can't pretty much any earthbenders train up to become one?

Only the very very best ones. It requires a lot of skill.

but how the fuck could you use the manipulation of metal to clean windows in the first place?

>>105328
By walking up the side of a skyscraper with the tools on you

>>105329
or, you know, just rappelling down the side on a steel cable

>>105177
Yo.

>>105195
>#1: Korra and team cozy up with Gommu (Sparky Sparky Bush Man)

I think you mean Sparkly Sparkly Bush Man.

I'd have more to say about the awesomeness of this episode in general, but these threads max out too damn fast now, especially since I'm usually late to join in.
