fslj;afdsjl; speechless. haha omg Korra, so hot-headed indeed and so very much a teenager. and KATARA, and yes yes Tenzin's clear mother issues, I love it so much.

AND LIN BEI FONG.

AND ALL THE GRANDCHILDREN

and the music

and the way Katara is just like "let me tell you the story about Zuko's mother" and then gets cut off, lolol meta jokes are the best.

When is there more? I need more RIGHT NOW

The premiere is April 14th, which this ep was, so presumably the week after that? DDDDDDD:

Oh, N., I loved this like BURNING. I want to write a *thesis* on Republic City and bender privilege and bending-dominated discourse and the use of bending in the police force called FOUCAULT MEETS KORRA: WHO WINS?

I love how much the world has changed in the last 70 years with the advent of technology and (elected?) government councils and the MEDIA and the crafting of Korra's public image. AGA;LHDSGLKDSG;J

THE FEELS I HAVE ALL OF THEM

It was SO GOOD. I love Korra and how brave and cocky she is, and Tenzin and his primness and LIN BEI FONG, EEEEH SO COOL METALBENDERSSS.

And the worldbuilding was so very awesome. Asian steampunk for the win!

I love how cocky Korra is, so completely different from Aang. And how at this moment, she does embody the unthinking privileges of the bending elite. And oh god, I am so so excited to see how they handle politics and social issues in a city where the police force is basically all (or primarily?) benders. Even Tenzin's wife touched on how she'd like a non-bending baby. SO MANY THINGS TO UNPACK. ♥ ♥ ♥

And did you notice the blatant cockblock w/r/t what happened to Zuko's mom. PRICELESS.

PS: Pushing Daisies icon love FTW

Yeah, it's like - she's obviously got that spark and cheerful thing Aang had, but she's so more prideful and cocky, which will be so interesting to see cumble once she realizes how the world really works, and like you said, when she realizes she's in such a place of privilege, especially as the strongest bender alive. I love how this show (well, the universe) does politics and doesn't dumb them down for kids or anything :3

That was HILARIOUS, omg. The writers know their audience XD

My love for Pushing Daisies shall never ever fade.
