fast paced and exciting
After the original series Avatar: The Last Airbender ended, the Nickelodeon folks (for some reason unfathomable to me) quashed any hopes of ever reviving it. They eventually confirmed that fans had shown a positive response to Avatar Kyoshi and were interested in starting up a new series based on a female Avatar and to avoid a rehash of Aang's adventures it would be set in a single semi-modern city and feature people who are anti-bending of any element. True to their word, enter Avatar Korra. If you're wondering about Zuko's mom or are craving a continuation of the gang's adventures I recommend Avatar: The Last Airbender - The Promise, Part 1. The book raises more questions than it answers but it is definitely a start to unraveling the mystery. The rest of the comics are as of 5/18/2012 unpublished so we have no choice other than to be patient and let the series creators tell the story in their own time/way...
Korra Arrives Early
I just finished watching the first episode of Legend of Korra. I was very pleasantly surprised that it arrived early on Amazon. I have been looking forward to this show since seeing the preview at last year's Comicon. It is definitely different from the first three season of Avatar but very enjoyable. Korra is a very strong, willful teen girl who can kick butt and take names, but like Aang has a lot to learn about the world and her place in it. This episode does a good job of introducing new characters, giving some closure on old characters, and introducing a new world for the rest of the series. It left me exciting and looking forward to the rest of the series.
Good golly, Miss Molly!

you haven't lost your touch.
Out of all the dull drivel that aired (aires) on Nickelodeon,
Avatar: The Last Airbender was a shining beacon in the primordial muck that was "entertainment" on February 21, 2005.
Demand was huge for the creators to extend their rich world into a sequel series.
Expectations were high,
opinions and ideas were formed,
and "bender" nuts set the bar.
The bar got obliterated.
Humor. Check.
Martial arts. Yep.
Endearing characters. Absolutely.
Continuity and details. Ja.
Incredible art direction. You can bet your tits.
Do yourself a favor and watch this quality television program and delightfully forget the atrocity of cinema known as "The LAST Airbender" ever happened.
Parents...you know what to do.
