Smooth has become one of them. There is no hope...

 

[BirthNote]

This episode was solid. Not as great as last week but still good.

Spoiler

Tenzin had some great airbending tricks.

 

[SnackAttack]

ASAMI SATOOOOOoooo

 

[Alacion]

Wow we were half right! Hiroshi was an equalist!

Respect for Asami though! Guess those 4 people make up Team Avatar now? I guess every Team Avatar needs 1 non-bender :D

Tenzin was pulling off some pretty cool Airbending too. And there was just no way Cabbage Corp could be involved in anything sinister!

Down the road, I'm sure Amon's gonna have a very compelling reason for creating the Equalist faction.

 

[BirthNote]

...I think spoiler tags would be good right about now.

EDIT: Oh, thanks for clarifying.

 

[Alacion]

I think the rule is as long as it has aired, there's no need to hide anything.

'Has the episode aired?'
If yes, then no need to spoiler
If no, then use spoiler tags.

 

[Grandeza]

I really liked today's episode, much more so than last week's actually. Good stuff.

Same I liked this week's more than last weeks.

 

[Mr. Johan]

This entire episode managed to lull me into a false sense of what's going on, only for it to slap me in the face right after.

Eavesdropping on Sato to make it seem like he was an Equalist, only for the factory search to lead to nothing.

Having a member of the Equalists convey information that make it seem like he defecting from the troop and expose Sato, only for it to actually be a setup fabricated by Sato himself. That was a really nice subversion.

And making it seem Asami joined with Sato, complete with a dark music shift once she touched the glove, only for her to electrocute Sato and the Lieutenant immediately after.

It was all tastefully done. I loved it.

I also love how Lin was taught how to feel vibrations in the earth, just like her mother perfected. And now platinum is the new metal, supposedly.

 

[Alacion]

If Asami ends up being an equalist...

 

[BirthNote]

Tenzin had some great moves, and he was doing better than everyone else.

 

[KrIsP!]

Tenzin had some great moves, and he was doing better than everyone else.

Well it'd be pretty stupid if she was one all along when they had an upper hand and planned to let them get away...but she could always change.

anyways, this episode was really good, especially the wolf-bats leader's moment.

 

[Frolossus]

lin gonna learn how to platinum bend
calling it now

 

[Mr. Johan]

They better figure out some way to get through those Platinum suits anyway, since Sato was left with the Equalists. Gonna be hard as hell to stop the chi-blockers if they're encapsulated in that platinum armor.

 

[Big-Cat]

Just wait till anti-chi blocking tactics come up. Or actually just wait for them to be able to keep up with the chi blockers. Right now they are just simply much faster than the benders who are fighting.

Sounds like they gotta hit Training Mode.

Benders need to learn to do some kung fu. Given Korra is the only one with multiple elements, everyone else needs to pick up on a secondary style.

This is extremely ironic as all four bending arts are based on some form of kung-fu.
Air: Ba Gua Zhang
Water: Tai Chi
Earth: Hung Gar
Fire: Northern Shaolin

If anything, they need to learn to fight without relying on bending. I noticed this with the probending matches. It's basically a fireball war with those matches and there in lies the problem with bending.

Fire ferrets >>>>>> All and this is coming from a dog person.

 

[Airgemini]

I actually liked this episode more than last week. I loved how they reintroduced the seismic sense. It was nice seeing Lin earthbend. Sometimes I forget the metalbenders even know how to.

Lol did those machines remind anyone of the Sentinels on X-Men? Rofl. Also, Lin is half Spider-Man/Wolverine with those claw things she had going on.

 

[LLDL]

Asami ain't innocent

 

[Alacion]

Team Avatar does need a non-bender though...

 

[Ussi]

Man i want to see more Tenzin action.

And some baby bending


Poor cabbages

I literally don't see the difference between fire ferrets and red pandas.

Wait, how does that relate to my comment about Tenzin? And, I knew a de-bended victim would want revenge...

I agree with the earthbending comment. Its like they think they're too good for anything but metal, lol. And yeah, the metalbenders in general remind me of spiderman.



It kinda sucks that they'll start making aero-dynamic contraptions to deal with airbenders someday. The way Tenzin was blowing the machines back (which was likely strengthened by their treads) kinda shows a design flaw, and since Sato called the fight a test run, there might eventually be some machines and armor that would practically ignore an airblast. I bet the Equalists already have flame-retardant armor that's probably padded well enough to minimize the impact of earth and water attacks. If they have defenses for those elements but not air, they will soon.

Also, Asami probably knows some Chi-Blocking techniques since she said she knows how to protect herself. Maybe she can teach Mako, Bolin and Korra, and Korra can inform Tenzin and Lin.

EDIT:
Some bender vs bender fights would be nice right now.

 

[KrIsP!]

^quoted the wrong person

 

[ShroudedOne]

I know it's who she is, but I don't like how Korra puts everything into this one phone call she hears, without considering other things. At least try to have more evidence before throwing out accusations, especially if you don't have the context of the phone call to back up your claims.

(Also, platinum bending let's goooooooo! Toph could totally learn that. (maybe))

Yeah, I was facepalming when she jumped to conclusions. I thought Sato may have been talking to Tarrlock (spelling?) or whoever was involved in the raid. He could've been gloating about how they exposed an Equalist support group for all we knew. Luckily she was right...

 

[Alacion]

The way Hiroshi slammed the phone down kinda gave it away imo. I wouldn't slam the phone back the way he did if I found out my biggest competition were gone...

But hey these things need to be rushed to incorporate a new character into the main cast in a "short" series.

 

[ShroudedOne]

Yeah, it was kind of hard to sit through, but she IS young, so we can't fault her too much.

Just finished the whole thing.

Props to Asami for being able to electrocute her own father, and being really awesome and not evil like I suspected she was in the beginning.

Tenzin had some nice moves this episode. But they'll need to learn to get around those platinum suits somehow....

Bolin continues to be really, really funny. This episode, all in all, was really good. I'm glad we've got people who know how to make an enthralling cartoon (anime, w/e) series not just once, but twice.

@Aleate: Yeah, I suppose something in his body language gave it away. Perhaps asking for a cautious Korra is too much.

 

[Smooth Criminal]

Did Nick get around to posting the new episode on their website? I still gotta see it.

And yeah, you really can't expect a mountain of patience or careful thinking out of Korra. That's just how she is. Perhaps that will all change later.

I literally don't see the difference between fire ferrets and red pandas.

The only difference is that they have longer bodies. And yes, red pandas are absolutely adorable. It's my profile pic on facebook now.

(Also, platinum bending let's goooooooo! Toph could totally learn that. (maybe))

Lin didn't want to do the investigation in the first place BECAUSE of a lack of evidence. Still, considering the context and the possibility that things could go terribly wrong because of giving the benefit of the doubt, I would've jumped to the same conclusion as Korra.

And speaking of Lin, when she was talking to the press about the initial investigation, I was thinking of this every time she moved her eyes.

Looking at him, though. Bolin and Mako's father?

 

[Jmorsch]

I just watched it here ->http://www.watchcartoononline.com/avatar-the-legend-of-korra-season-1-air-episode-7-the-aftermath because i missed it this morning and it wasn't on nick.

 

[Alacion]

Nah it's not out. Don't think we're allowed to post links to non-official sources but a quick Google search will send you in the right direction.

 

[Smooth Criminal]

You're TOO LATE, ALEATE! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHHA.

Anyways, good ****.

Smooth Criminal

 

[Spelt]

Wow.
That episode was amazing.

So glad Asami didn't side with her dad.


Also, Tenzin is a bad***.

 

[theeboredone]

I honestly don't know what to say about this. I felt like Bolin was a bit out of place, cause the whole episode had this "A storm is coming" vibe, and well...the storm came. Bolin's humor just didn't help with any sort of comic relief compared to previous episodes.

Once again, it feels like the series is moving rather fast, cause I figure it'd be a while until Sato's intentions would be revealed.

Also, nice Aladdin touch, Sato calling Mako a "street rat" lol

Edit: Can't believe I didn't mention this...but I think Asami's allegiance is setting up to be switched once Korra and Mako have a "moment", and she finds out.

 

[Ussi]

:[ i'll be sad cause I joined that Korra x Bolin train

term street rat isn't owned by Disney >_>

 

[ShroudedOne]

Korra x Bolin is the only pairing I will support.

 

[theeboredone]

term street rat isn't owned by Disney >_>

-face palm- Did I say it was? I called it an Aladdin touch, because the term "street rat" was made popular by Aladdin. Give me another source of media or pop culture that uses that term.

 

[Mr. Johan]

I'm still waiting for the moment when Deviantart floods up with "Makami" or whatever it's called where Mako is dressed up as Aladdin, and Asami looks like Jasmine.

Bonus points if Bolin is the Sultan and Pabu is dressed as Abu.


I don't swing to any particular shipping camp. So long as the writing's good I've no complaints what happens.

 

[Big-Cat]

Korra x Bolin is the only pairing I will support.

This.
