Mike and Bryan tend to get all the credit for the magic (not the kung fu magic, the emotional resonance with the audience magic) of Avatar: the Last Airbender, and it's not completely deserved.

I've come to similar conclusions lately about the Aaron and Elizabeth while rewatching the show in hopes of getting another friend into TLA. I love Korra and the fact that it does cut out a lot of the excess, but it really is Korra's story and the rest while I like a lot of them, just seem there to further her story without having their own character arcs.

Maybe this is part of the reason I love Tarrlok so much (or rather love to hate him), next to Korra I feel he and Tenzin have had the most consistancy so far. And Bolin just fun. But Mako, Asami, and even Lin (until recently) while I've liked them have a certain one-dimentionalness so far. The Promise is another example. While Zuko may be eratic at least he has issues he's trying to deal with and Toph had a small but significant revelation.

I love Korra for its many strengths but it really is its own thing. I guess its all about finding that balnce in storytelling itself between character development and filler. Anyone know what Aaron and Elizabeth are working on now? It might be worth checking out.

Tarrlok is fantastic. He reminds me of Long Feng, another wonderful politician villian.

imdb says Aaron's back on the Futurama staff, doesn't have anything recent listed for elizabeth.
