Season finale of Legend of Korra was pretty disappointing. Obviously, spoilers follow.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Miraculously, they somehow manage to negate the consequences of a heroic sacrifice in both directions. First, the family Lin sacrificed her bending to save was captured offscreen with no explanation, and then later her bending was restored with a magical band-aid that undid virtually every moment of drama from the season up until then. Between that, a legitimately terrible plot twist about Amon's origins, a redemption for Tarrlock that seemed entirely without reason, and my distaste for Mako as a character, it seemed like they basically went in all the worst directions with the dangling plot threads. Yakone should also have been introduced much earlier in the season - as it was, his entire character came off as an asspull.

And they still never explain how Amon was taking bending. "Bloodbending ooooo" is not an explanation.

Blood out my ass. O_O

Blood out my ass. O_O

*Pharmacist mode*

This can be serious, but it can also be a case of wiping too hard or passing too hard a stool. If it's the only time it happens, I wouldn't be worried. If it continues / hurts alot though, see a doc.

I whined about this stuff in the cartoon thread already but here goes:

Agree on most parts, except Mako and Tarrlock's characterization. I liked both of them, and their respective twists (even if the whole being brothers thing was rather contrived and unlikely).

Very very much agree on bloodbending -> soulbending making literally zero sense, and the removal of any sort of consequences. I quite liked the ending as Korra was standing on the edge of the cliff, thinking maybe she'd FINALLY gain some goddamn maturity after losing 3/4 her powers, but nope it gets fixed by Aang just 'cause. His magical fixing powers made sense, mind (well as much sense as it made in the last series), but it still robs the ending of weight.


Really, her being stuck with just airbending for the next season would've had a TON of narrative potential. I assume she'd still be able to use the others in the avatar state, but being weakened and still expected to fill avatar duties would've been quite awesome.

Paranoia regarding whether my girlfriend is serious about our relationship or not. Chances are I'm worrying over nothing, but everyone keeps telling me not to get too attached in case it doesn't work out and now I'm terrified that I'm going to do something to ruin it, or that she doesn't actually love me, or any number of things.

Fuck, why am I so terrible at reading people.

Fuck, why am I so terrible at reading people.

Because you're a person.

[Lord Shonus]

Got a wisdom tooth that's really bad (It's scheduled to be pulled tomorrow.) When I'm in pain, I tend to clench my fist. Long story short, I had to get my spare mouse out of a drawer, because I crushed the one I was using.

My uncle has died after his alcoholism finally finished him. He never had the easiest time with life, and I think his death was just an end to his suffering. I will miss him, and to die at 45 years old is much too young. I'm still not sure i've entirely accepted that he's gone. I probably won't be on the forums or gaming with my B12 comrades, at least until next week.

Guess what happened in Half Life 2?

I no longer find enjoyment in anything I do. This makes getting anything done very difficult.

[kaijyuu]

Mmm. Know the feeling.

Yes. It makes it difficult to find anything interesting. Its like:
Friends: Hey dude, chick you could hit on.
Depressed person: Meh.
Friends: Okay... Well... Let's go swimming then!
Person: Meh.
Friends: What about work? Aren't you excited about your work?
Person: Meh.
Friends: Shit man, you ain't giving us much to work with. What are you gonna do if something bad happens?
Person: Sigh.

[Trapezohedron]

I'm somehow feeling lovesick, which has never happened to me before. Oh great.
