Lo K is comming out this fall? Guess I have two shows to look forward too then. It does seem like they risk Two Part Trilogy though.

Speaking of The Legend of Korra is it worth seeing? Cuz ya see I love Avatar the Last Airbender but I haven't seen any episodes for Korra because I have heard bad things about it and some like it but I'm not really sure. The only things Korra related I've seen is a panel read for a couple of episodes.

I think Lo K is starting September 13th and has been greenlit for four seasons so far. I don't know if their continuing the Equalist plot or if they're moving on to other things. But I do know Book two is called Spirits.

As far as pony goes, it looks like we might finally be getting that Celestia and Luna flashback and I'm certainly looking forward to the Power Ponies episode. Though, if there's no hint of Star Swirl this season, I will be kinda disappointed. :P

I'd say give it a shot. It has it's problems, but it's still leagues above a lot of what's out there.

It's probably worth seeing... just don't expect it to be anywhere near as good as Avatar The Last Airbender. And it will probably make you rage at some point.

I've been looking over the cards for that game. Does anyone know the rules?

Also Mane Goodall exists.◊

All I know of it is that you and your opponent(s) each have a problem and you have to solve yours before your opponent(s) solve theirs. That's as much as I've gleaned, I don't know if any official rules have been released yet.

Also, Bill Neigh. I lol'd.

I prefer Korra over first Avatar show. I'm more critical/negative toward Aang show than this and I can't wait for new season.

While we mention her, here pony Korra

And this reminds me that I should probably make another attempt to watch the original Avatar series.

Yep you should. That book you're working on reminded me of it quite a bit.

IMO the best Korra episodes were not as good as the best Aang episodes, but the worst Korra episodes weren't as bad as the worst Aang episodes. But that might have something to do with not being as long anyway, so...

I certainly enjoyed it at least, even if I could never get the final eoisode to play and had to just spoil myself to get closure.

I updated that, by the way.

Anyway, yeah, I watched the first few episodes and they were decent, but didn't really stand out as spectacular. I've heard it gets better though.

Some of my favorite are around the Earth kingdom and the Fire nation, but those are more toward the second and third season. So yeah.

Yeah the first few episodes, while good, are nowhere near the standard quality of the show. It jumps up in quality at about episode 5, then again about episode 10 and stays awesome from there.

Oddly, I feel pretty much the exact same way about MLP.

Actually, that's a good point. It does seem quite similar.

A heavy ammount of it influenced the book of mine closest to publication as well.

And yeah, the second and third seasons were generally better than the first.

EDIT:Actually a good point about both shows.

I thought it was great. The only major flaw was an overemphasis on shipping in the middle episodes. Besides, ATLA had it's problems too (don't get me started on the ending)

Yeah, I can assure you that any similarities are coincidental. I've been farting around with this idea since college, and I only ever got around to watching ATLA a few months ago. Maybe I should rewatch it and do a liveblog or something. Probably not, because I don't have the time.

@Blue: I agree that the first few episodes were a bit lackluster compared to later ones, but in retrospect I actually really like Applebuck Season.

You should totally do your epic long episode reviews like you did for mlp. Y'know, if you had time.

I liked that one too, and the Gilda episode. The rest were kind of, eh.... not bad, but not up to standard.

I usually have the same rule about watching shows that I do when reading books. I try to give them about three to five chapters/ episodes to decide whether I continue or not.

Interestingly enough, I was hooked on pony by the second episode because I thought NMM was actually pretty cool for a girls' show villain.

My favourite season for Avatar the Last Airbender? Season fricking 2 . Season 2 because it had so much action in there and plus Toph is a badass! 'Nuff said. It was also where Zuko really grew as a character for me. I mean he went from a hot headed guy who wanted the approval of his dead beat father to a young man who has had many hardships in his life and that's what I liked about Zuko as the series went on he wasn't just this bad guy who wanted the Avatar for himself, he was a character who was all about emotion and I'm sorry if I'm rambling here but god damn it, Zuko is by far my favourite character from that show along with Sokka and Toph.

I've heard a lot of hate for episode 2 but that was the also the one that got me actually interested. Sure it was corny as hell, but that's kind of par for the course with such an idealistic show.

Season 2 is the best, definitely. I actually consider season 3 the worst, because it just didn't have enough plot to fill 21 episodes. The good episodes are REALLY good, probably the best in the series, but there are too many subpar episodes balancing them out. Season 2 was just wonderful all the way through.

As a Venture Brothers fan, It's always amuses me to hear people complain about having to wait for new seasons of their favorite shows to air. Yeah, there's a new season of V-Bros coming in the fall... of next year. After I had to wait 3 years for the last season, which was only half the length of any other.

But no, tell me more about how much it sucks having to wait almost a year between seasons. :P

Mare In the Moon/Elements of Harmony is probably my favourite two parter.

On Korra, its finally airing over here and I'm not very fond of it compared to Aang. It's acceptable I guess, but I was really expecting better.

Man, its going to be great when I finally watch that show and can run through all the episodes as fast as I want without waiting.

I generally thought Korra was pretty good, my main issues with it were with the pacing, which was understandable because they thought they only had one half season, and the shipping.

@Bluespade Yeah I really think they should've worried more on the plot than see how much humour they could squeeze out for season 3 which is sad because season 3 is meant to be the most important arc in the entire show and yet for the most part it was all just filler. I mean since when was Aang going to a Fire Nation school or Azula and co playing volleyball considered advancing the plot of the series? I mean sure we get more info on the world itself but was it really neccessary?

Wryte: Pfff, I used to watching in an era where a series was more likely to be cancelled than to get a new season. It's part of the reason I stopped watching TV altogether for a pretty long time.

On Avatar: Season 2 was my favourite too, because Appa is best character.
