Well, I am disappointed that Lin and Tenzin were taken down so easily. Lin did show her skills later, but if that's all that she can do, then I am pretty disappointed. They need someone who has awesome bending skills in this show. 6 episodes in, Korra hasn't really made much progress in air bending. It is like that plot line is completely forgotten now.

I think that's kind of the point though. Korra came to republic city to complete her training as Avatar and learn airbending. However, once she's actually there, she encounters more glaring issues (ie the equalists) that she believes she should take care of as the Avatar. So airbending gets moved down the list.

First off, the cheating in this episode was extremely terrible. When everybody, including the announcer, can see the cheating happening, it's hard to take it seriously when the final result occurs.

Then Amon shows up. I really like this guy. Yeah, he did the same thing as Episode 3, but he was awesome doing it that I don't care.

Remember that whole thing about how the Equalists will have some points, that some benders are just naturally corrupt and use their powers for bad? This is another example of that. The Wolfbats were cheats and bought their championships. It was probably a well-known fact that the refs looked the other way during their matches, all Amon would have to do is go fucking watch a few matches to see what was up. The Wolfbats are cheaters, they cheated in the past three years, Amon KNEW they would cheat, that's why they just so conveniently played into his bullies angle.

And thus we come to the real source of Amon's discontent:

Watching the Wolfbats cheat to victory against his favorite Pro-bending team in the finals 3 years ago.

Amon and company got an even higher budget and longer fight sequence this time. Making them really work. Plus those angles they used on Amon were something else. The editing in this episode was just top notch.

And it is nice to know that the old "just pay off the refs and cheat enough to win" still works all over the place. But at least the Wolfbats got their comeuppance. There's going to be all out war coming to the city.

I think we also need to pay close attention to those Avatar flash-backs that Korra has had. Ang obviously ran into someone like Amon previously.

Oh and the "Amon = Airbender" stuff might have some credit by the way he was moving, but hard to say too much on it. Still up in the air, for sure.

I doubt it, Korra nearly fell to her death twice in this episode alone, I'm actually a bit surprised that that didn't trigger the avatar state for her (guess it's just too early in the series), she's probably going to be training extra hard now (plus, all the pro-bending is done for now so she doesn't have to worry about that for a bit).

Lin and Tenzin knew each other as kids? Urge... to... kill... RISING! Pema, you better damn well start sleeping with one eye open...

He was just an innocent cabbage vendor distributing cabbages to hungry spectators like popcorn at a baseball game, when a stray water/earth/fire shot ruined his merchandise for the last time...

I'm inclined to agree here. It was a big what??!! moment for me when Korra was unable to reach the roof by herself and had to be rescued by Lin.

[Jarmel]

What I want to know is, where was Tenzin during the whole Lin/Korra fight sequence?

Prob making sure those other benders were okay. The whole security staff got taken down. Assist with evacuation of the arena...

If only Korra was a better air bending, she wouldn't have fallen that far and could have boarded the ship. Hopefully, someone will point this out.

Those brothers need combat training so they can assist her.

[MAX_COLA_POWER!]

Never have I seen people so excited about a shipping before, especially an old people shipping-v-;;. Do people really hate J. Jonah Jameso, err, I mean, Tenzin's preggers of a wife that much?

Dragoonkain I hope you never change.

[WefiDasst]

Spoiler for Thoery on Amon:

I notice Torlak(however you spell his name) acting more like Palpatine did in the prequals, trying to get his power though using the fear of a war. like he knew Korra will protest of the canceling of the games.
either he is Amon, or working for him.

[Tiresias]

The first half is just meh. I'm so glad Amon saved the rest of the episode with his grand entrance.

Now that he had used his power in open view, I wonder how bending scholars will react....

[RRW]

seem amon try to make mecha
