  1. I can see how a lot of fans of the original show can be upset at how pissed Bumi was, and that it was a real fight to the death, instead of just a test. But let's face it, it's a lot more realistic that a leader whose city was under siege for 100 years, and who lived through every single minute of it, would be much more hardened and battle-weary. Naturally, hed be more prone to give in to his despair, until Aang brought him back from the brink, and gave him back hope.

    It was also a nice touch that Bumi made Aang's bison whistle.

  2. One little detail I really liked was that Gran-Gran's note was written in Inuktitut, the language of the Inuit people. I live in Labrador, in northeast Canada, and there's a large Inuit population up here, so I see it around all the time. Even though I can't read a word of it, I still recognized it.

    It's a little thing, but I thought it was a nice touch.

    Also, what happened to Lisa Rinna’s face? Botox? Fillers? Botched surgery? I barely recognize her. 

    Maybe it was the hairdo. Don't know about you, but I'm not used to seeing her with hair down to her shoulders. Those lips are unmistakable, though.

    And it's very telling about the corporate mindset in the firm that the partners meeting, with only two people attending in person, seemed to be fully catered. Especially since the meeting was about personnel cuts to trim the budget.

  4. They'll probably drop a couple of the episodes that don't really contribute to the main story, like "The Great Divide" and "The Fortuneteller", and maybe compress a few others down to their key scenes.

    And as for the characters being introduced early, they're probably just extended cameos meant to tease the long-time fans of the franchise and get them excited about season 2. Though it wouldn't surprise me if they find ways to integrate them into the season 1 storyline. (For instance, maybe Azula leads the invasion of Kyoshi Island, instead of Zuko.)

    Frankly, I'm fine with them streamlining the story a bit, so long as they keep the heart of it intact.

  5. Reminder that any and all discussion of politics is banned from this forum, unless that discussion stems from something actually brought up in the episode.

    Any politically-based social media posts that any current or former contestants might make are not to be brought up here.
