Legend of Korra 1- 3

We watched the first three episodes of the Legend of Korra.  It's a gripping sequel to Avatar:  The Last Airbender set in a believable world with the creation team's trademark attention to detail.

the rules of fair play mystery we should have already met Ammon's secret identity

hm. I hadn't thought about that. Not sure they're playing by those rules, necessarily.

I calculate that in the next episode or two we'll meet at least one female character to be Korra's BFF. The nice thing about actually *trusting* the creators is that I feel confident that other female characters *will* show up, it's not going to be "Korra is so awesome she can be one of the guys!"

Assuming that the story has three full acts we're still very early in act one so there is still plenty of time to introduce Ammon's alter ego. Though I agree with Crabby Lioness that it will be soon. More speculation on Ammon's alter ego later.

edit---> Crabby what other fandoms do I see you in?

I didn't realize it had been extended out to 12 and 14 episodes. The penalty of avoiding spoilers, I suppose.

Crabby what other fandoms do I see you in?

Doctor Who, Torchwood, Merlin, and Marvel Comics. I haven't done much fanac lately; we've moved and are massively renovating a 1920s bungalow.

I don't know how many episodes it is. I am avoiding all spoilers and all shipping for LoK and pretty much everything these days.

I haven't seen you on any Merlin forums. Must be Doctor Who, I haven't been on any Doctor Who boards or anything recently and I feel like it was a while ago. *shrug*

I stopped writing about Merlin at the beginning of the second season when it got silly. I meant to pick it up again during the fourth season, which improved a lot, but I didn't have the time.

I wrote about Doctor Who through the end of Ten's time. No offense to Mr. Smith, but the current production has felt far more superficial. I think I wrote about Gaiman's episode, though.

I wrote about Torchwood until COE.

From Wikipedia:

Hiroshi Sato (Daniel Dae Kim) is a barrel-chested businessman with a big personality. His family lineage extends back to the first Fire Nation colonists. He initially grew up poor, but developed and mass-produced the "satomobile", the Republic City equivalent of the Model-T. He is also the father of Asami Sato.

Asami Sato (Seychelle Gabriel) is a young non-bender and daughter of Hiroshi Sato. Asami has lived a life of luxury, but despite this, her fancy clothes, and polite manners, she also can be tough. She is an expert driver and isn't afraid to mix it up on the racetrack. Asami has also had the best self-defense training money can buy and is also a big fan of pro-bending and goes to every match.

Bingo! We haven't met them yet, have we?

[crabby_lioness]

We definitely haven't met her. It's possible Hiroshi is the man who runs the stadium, but that guy appears to be not as rich and to have ties to organized crime.
