So we're definitely heading towards end-game now, which actually took me by surprise as I (embarrassingly) assumed we were only about halfway through this season. Why I thought that I have no idea, only that when it became apparent there were only four episodes left, it was a bit of a shock. On consideration, maybe it's because this season only ( Read more... )

As always, I watched these two episodes back-to-back, and I'm glad I did. It means delaying my Korra fix for a week, but you end up getting a much juicier story as a result. But I was particularly nervous this time around given the dramatic improvement in the show and my hopes that the quality would remain high. I was nearly about to call it quits ( Read more... )

Sorry about the delay, but I've been under the weather this week.

So, all my dull cross-checking is complete, and I am officially onto my sixth draft. Which is great, because I'm also determined that it'll be my final draft, which is a relief considering all the distractions. It's like the library, the TV and the internet have all conspired together ( Read more... )

Korra Korra Korra! Yeah, I watched the first episode. There is was, on YouTube, just waiting for me to press the play button. How could I resist? I couldn't. So here are my thoughts on the first episode, Welcome to Republic City...
