~THE MIDSEASON EDITION~

Part One: What We Have Left to See

We're halfway through the season already, guys! And as has already been pointed out in the comments, we're going into the second half almost completely blind. Let's recap what we have left to see from the trailers, courtesy of this tumblr post:

Comments

I realize I'm like derailing with the first comment, but I just had to share this one (even Bryan reblogged it!):

[nochenne]

The fact that Bryan reblogged it is what makes me double over in laughter. I don't know, I love these memes on their own, but when the Korra production team gets involved the whole meta factor really cracks me up. Our fandom is the best.

What's his tumblr? I need to follow all the people involved with the show...

Bryan's is by far the best and the most consistently entertaining/informative. The other production team members who have Tumblrs are:

Sifu Kisu
Joaquim Dos Santos
Bill Rinaldi
Colin Heck
Dante Basco

As for constructive comments:

I definitely want Asami to be an equalist, but I want her to be conflicted about it- like, her father supports them and she supports them as well, but she really does care about Mako and doesn't want them to get hurt.

I am really wondering when Korra will make the airbending breakthrough- I'm wondering if she'll be able to airbend at all before the end of this season, actually. I feel like it's something that's going to happen only when she's really made a breakthrough in her spiritual connection, and I'm not sure how close she is to that happening. I also don't think Kya and Bumi are going to show up until the next season either, as I don't see a reason for them to quite yet- unless they're tied to Yakone.

I'm convinced she's the one who bribed the refs to make the Fire Ferrets lose so they wouldn't get mindbended.

Awkwardly dropping my Tumblr Asami feels here where I kinda ramble about her role in the series.

[pluckyboo]

YEP. Either Asami or her dad got their hands up in that bribery.

[hallois]

idts. The refs were definitely bribed, but I don't think it was to to save the ferrets. Amon needed the wolfbats to win in order to make his point about bullies/cheaters being the champions of the bending world.

Can it be Saturday already?

[janejane_jane]

Yes please!

[nochenne]

MTE. I want to have a DeLorean so I can watch all the Korra episodes in one go like I did with ATLA. This waiting between Saturdays business is killing me slowly.

[janejane_jane]

Same! I marathoned ATLA on Netflix in 4 days or something ridiculous like that, this waiting business sucks!

[janejane_jane]

I kept trying to click that red wire because it was so out of place! Kudos to whoever saw that in the show!

[crystalzelda]

I think Tarrlok is going to make a power grab and try to get rid of her to take control of the Metalbending police. Obviously the consequences for all of them are going to be rather severe.

[houndooms]

Will Lin face serious repercussions for agreeing to take responsibility for the arena's security and then failing to stop Amon?

I don't know, I can see Tarrlok using it as a way to get his task force more power, but seeing as Lin has had a flawless track record up until the attack on the arena, her being severely punished would seem kind of dumb, especially considering nobody died or anything.

[crystalzelda]

I think that if Tarrlok makes a convincing case that he's a better leader to respond to the Amon threat bc of his task force and the fact that he has the Council completely whipped save Tenzin, I could see him ousting Lin and taking position as the head of the police.
