1. THIS. I am dying to know who her father is. And also see her with her mother WAS SHE THE LAWYER WITH YAKONSE HOW OLD IS SHE ANYWAY? I'm a bit confused on all the ages here but then again Aang was only like 66 when he died so still. Tenzin seems kind of old to have such young kids but then again he is a monk I DON'T KNOW.
BUT LIN. Every time she uses earthbending to see I just get so excited. And all the ass she kicks. And making her own road. And zipping up Bolin's fly. And. I love her.
2. YES THIS. And honestly in the present-day, if Zuko's still alive, WHY IS HE NOT MORE INVOLVED WITH WTF IS UP IN REPUBLIC CITY. Tenzin's always going on about Republic City being Aang's legacy, but it's Zuko's too. WHERE IS HE.
3. WELL a big theme of the show is that whole spirituality vs. technology theme--the fact that everything has been streamlined and there are just metalbenders EVERYWHERE and people are mastering techniques without understanding the underlying chi theory behind them. I think all the metalbenders and lightningbenders are just another sign of how out-of-balance the world (or at least Republic City) has come to be--it's either a world that's moving beyond bending and the Avatar (and thus probably towards its own destruction), or something has to give. So in a way, Amon taking away bending is bringing its own kind of balance--if people are going to be so ignorant to how bending works and its source that they can't figure out how to reverse what he's done (BECAUSE I AGREE RE: NOT DOING IT HOW AANG DOES IT AND THEREFORE PROBS NOT PERMANENT), then they don't deserve it anymore.
Which leads me to jump ahead to #8, which is that I'M NOT ENTIRELY CONVINCED AMON IS FULLY HUMAN, OR HUMAN AT ALL. He's gotta be working with a spirit please be Koh please be Koh to accomplish all this. But I don’t think he’s human.
BACK IN ORDER.
4. I love Naga. Ever since episode one where she howled along with the police sirens. I mean before that too, but that was the detail that just cinched my adoration.
5. I KNOW! And the screaming and lying on the ground like she was hurt! And the fire everywhere! And the choosing to run away! I LOVE HER AND HER DECISIONS SO MUCH.
6. I will have to watch again to confirm this. Darn.
7. Yesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss. Although honestly I wouldn’t mind if she lost her bending and at least part of season 2 was about her figuring out how to get it back. Because they’re going to have to figure out how to get it back, and what better way to do that than with an Avatar who’s lost her powers? IT SEEMS TO ME TO BE A LOGICAL EXTENSION OF THE LACK OF SPIRITUALITY THING PART OF BECOMING BALANCED AGAIN. But I would be down with some Avatar State too. Frankly I can’t believe they gave us that shot in a preview seriously WHAT WERE THEY THINKING?
Also words cannot express my love for Lin Bei Fong. Did I mention that? Here it is again: WORDS CANNOT EXPRESS MY LOVE FOR LIN BEI FONG.
