^ I think there's going to be another episode or two before the finale, though I'm not positive.

My take on the issue of Amon's identity: I don't think it matters. I don't think he really matters, either. He's always kinda struck me as too... generic to be this show's Big Bad. Much like Admiral Zhao in the original show's first season, I think he's mostly a tool to toughen up our heroes, teach them the ropes of Avatar super-heroics so they'll be up to the challenge Season Two's main villain will present.

That's what I hope, too. After Azula, Amon is just incredibly bland and uninteresting. Everything about him says over-the-top, badass-for-the-sake-of-badass plot device.

Na the season finale is next week. They are taking a break this weekend. I can kind of see JAGzilla's point and find it valid. They were advertising for the finale to be a showdown between Amon and Korra. He could just be one of the first enemies Korra must overcome as she trains to become a mature Avatar. I still think that my theory can still be valid, but it would only work if Amon is intended to stay on the show longer.

I do like the idea of Amon as Bumi; that would certainly add a lot of depth to his character and make him that much more interesting. But it seems kind of unlikely. If Amon's whole anti-Bending crusade was originally triggered by jealousy towards Tenzin, Lin, etc., I'd think he might show some interest in them, maybe throw a few cryptic "this is your fault" kind of lines at them. But if memory serves, he hasn't interacted with them at all.

Now, an explanation for that might be that he wants to avoid his family and former friends for fear of being recognized. Still, though, I'd think there'd have been some sort of foreshadowing if Amon was going to be a significant character like that. We'd likely have met or learned about Bumi and his problems, if discreetly, via flashbacks, conversation, or something. What would presumably be a big, emotional reveal of his identity won't have much impact if he's someone we haven't met and know virtually nothing about.

That said, I admit that I haven't been paying especially close attention to Amon so far. As stated, he hasn't really done anything to catch my interest. So I may easily have missed something. Is there any evidence linking Amon to Bumi?

There is no exact evidence that points directly to Amon being Bumi, but a connection can be made on an interpretation of what we already know.

I was only able to watch the first half of it, but it was pretty good. The Equalists are finally going all-out, it seems. Two points of interest:

- Asami kicks ass with that electric glove. I'll admit that I initially thought she'd be a weak link as far as action goes. Glad to see she's proving me wrong.

- THE AVACAR! NOOOO!

I had a few issues with this weeks episode. First off, fart-bending? Really? That was atrocious. Just because the show is a children's show doesn't mean its humor should be so base and brainless. The show has showed before that it can be funny without being stupid.

Also for a city under siege, did Republic City seem bizarrely quiet? I mean we got booms and sirens, but no citizens running from the airships. No, screams of panic. It felt like a ghost town.

I find it a bit annoying that Zuko's son (or however it is he's related to Zuko) sounds EXACTLY like him. At least go for a little variety in voice acting...

Yea I found out . It was weird because Nick was advertising the season finale since last week and I got confused. Sorry if I mislead anybody.

Zuko doesn't have a son and no characters related to him have been revealed...

If I remember correctly, now I may be completely and utterly wrong, but Zuko had a daughter which is the Fire Nation Liason of Republic City. So that would make General Iroh, her son if I am correct. Though take this with a grain of salt lol.

Yes he is related to Zuko this was confirmed back when the show was announced two years ago, we just don't know the relation yet.

If you have cable or FiOS, check Nick on Demand. It's one of the free on-demands and probably has the latest episodes. I used it to watch an episode I missed about a month ago.

I find it interesting the amount of hate the show and Mako character are getting for the portrayal of the romance arc. It's like the fanbase has never seen a love triangle before.

I don't think that the arc is bad, but it seems like it has been used before. It certainly makes everything between the new Team Avatar more complex, jeopardizing its link with Asami, who I feel might turn to the Equalists. Mako, in my opinion, could have at least told Asami the truth and calm tensions for the sake of keeping everyone together and concentrated on the matters at hand.

A romance sub-plot, huh? I suppose I shouldn't be surprised.

Is it at least better written than the ones in the original series?
