I didn't see the episode yet, but I had my friends spoil it for me. I'm more confident in the theory that Yukon killed Toph and Aang went into the avatar state and killed him. He may have gone into the Avatar state to protect Lin. That would explain where she got those little scars on her face from. The question is, why is Aang trying to contact Korra about Yukon? Why is he important?

If you're saying that's why Lin has a problem with the avatar because of your theory, they confirmed Lin's problem this episode.

Aww yeah new episode

Tenzin is hilarious... would've been cool if he married Lin, though. That would've been a pretty elite family. The son of the Avatar, and the daughter of Toph.

That fight on top of the arena was amazing

Methinks Tarrlok will take advantage of Lin's promise to take full responsibility for security at the dome and get her removed from her position.

That was the halfway ep of the season (6th of 12) and the **** hit the fan. I'd been trying for hours to view it, and was well rewarded. The Lin + Korra vs. Equalists fight atop the stadium, in particular, was amazing, and underlined the change that had occurred.

Amon played events perfectly. He not only revealed the threat early to get Lin's armoured metalbenders out (who're immune to chi blocking, but weak to the lightning gloves/sticks), but he paid off the refs to let the Wolf Bats cheat their way to victory, ensuring both that the Avatar's crew would be defenceless in the water when his crew revealed themselves, and that he could hold them up as representatives of all benders. He's continuing to pick on easy-to-dislike benders first to more easily drum up support. The attack (including explosives) and getaway from above was a nice touch too. The people of Republic City will either be joining his revolution or ****ing themselves. It might be a while before we get a lighthearted ep like 5 again.

Predix: Republic City will be lost to Amon and the revolution at the end of this season, and the second season will focus on battles for the rest of the world (hopefully letting us revisit places Aang & co. went to!). Still think Tenzin might be the first big bending casualty.

I'm sad we didn't get to see Tenzin really do anything though, I'm more looking forward to his first fight than anything else in this series. I'd bet dollars to doughnuts he's Iroh level.

Lin is freaking Spiderwoman. I would say she's my new favorite character, but they're all so awesome it's hard to deem only one my favorite.

Only thing I didn't like: no action for Naga :(

I played catch up some. Missed last weeks....watched the episode but was disappointed. Animation was great, and there was some nice action to make the blah romance thing more palpable.

And then came this week's ep. Easily among the best episodes in either series and probably most other animated series as well. I am struggling to find any real flaws with it. Almost wanna say Korra not airbending to save herself from falling, but it has been established she can't airbend worth crap anyway, so it remained spot on...

And the whole lightning vs. metal aspect....just win. And then you have pabu do cute and epic things while the action enters the next phase of awesome? <3

Looking forward to see how things develop...

Ironically there will probably not be another match for a long time, if ever, now that the revolution has begun. But I'm glad you came around! That tiebreaker round between Korra and pretty boy was perfect. The only thing that would have made it better would have been a big reaction from Tenzin like the ones that the crowd got when she landed that hit.

The question is, why is Aang trying to contact Korra about Yukon? Why is he important?

Yukon is Amon's father tbqh. Amon's story is half truth - Aang and Zuko were the bandits what killed his dad and his mom could have been accidentally killed in the fighting

Predix: Republic City will be lost to Amon and the revolution at the end of this season, and the second season will focus on battles for the rest of the world (hopefully letting us revisit places Aang & co. went to!)

I'm thinking Korra loses her bending at the end of S1 and S2 is her learning to fight without it. This could lead to trips to the Kiyoshi warriors, maybe another Fire Nation swordmaster, some chi blockers somewhere, maybe even Ty Lee's circus? This would also let her experience the oppression and etc the Equalists are talking about so she can better restore balance and such

An Avatar without bending would frankly be boring as balls. If she does lose her bending, which is entirely possible, I think it will only take 1-2 episodes for her to magic spirit world journey her powers back.

My predix:

Amon takes Korra's Bending away towards the end of season 1. Korra goes on a spiritual journey and gets her Bending back in the last episiode of the same season, and season 2 is her travelling across lands outside of Republic City and perfecting the techniques she lost, taking down Amon alongside some new friends she gained throughout her travels, and restoring balance. That'd be sweet.

You think she would have to relearn everything, Metroid style? That would be kinda weird. But I do wonder if/how they will take the story out of Republic City. Amon already mentioned taking over the world after the city, so maybe that's it, but yeah they really need to show us the rest of the world.

also Korra needs to learn some damn airbending already

The Yakone thing must be related to Amon in some way, every time those flashes have occurred was during or immediately after a confrontation with him and the Equalists.

And yeah hopefully she lacks bending for only a little while if at all, she's still gotta learn airbending.

I wonder what Book Two will be called, on that note

Not relearn; just perfect. As was implied in Welcome to Republic City, she's already mastered the physical aspects of Firebending, Waterbending, and Earthbending, but she's been completely ignoring the spiritual component to it. That's probably the reason why she's never gone into Avatar State despite being in grave danger a couple of times now, and why Aang is trying to contact her. I think once she goes on that spiritual journey, an entirely new facet of Bending will be unlocked for her.

I hope Korra never has to go long without bending. As she if a very different Avatar then Aang and depends on it a lot more. I don't remember how long Aang went without it but I do hope Korra doesn't have to go longer. I would say she shouldn't go more then two or three episodes without bending.

He's the threat to Republic City that Aang dealt with 42 years ago.

Can Korra Airbend at all yet? She's been in Republic City for like... a month or two? She should be able to bend like a small gust of wind at this point at least. They haven't really said anything either way but if she can't then Tenzin actually is a terrible teacher.

And Yakon was mentioned by Tarrlok (sketchy Councilman guy) as a threat to Republic City that Aang "dealt with" 40 years ago. A lot of people are assuming he has something to do with Amon and is the guy shown in Korra's flashbacks (which are likely being sent to her from Aang). Additional speculation (read: wild mass guessing) is that some sort of tragedy was involved that resulted in the death of a Gaang member.

or it's her reluctance to embrace the spiritual world, as they've implied multiple times already

Yeah, Korra has next to no spirituality, especially compared to Aang. We're halfway through the first season and we have yet to see her enter the Avatar State or commune with any spirits.
Airbending seems to have way more to do with that side of life than all the other bending styles, so it makes sense that she'd flop at it.

I don't think Amon actually took his Bending away. We didn't see any flashes of light before he pushed him into the drink so I'm more inclined to believe he was only psyching him out.

I hope he still has his Bending at least. His dynamic with Korra was interesting and wouldn't work quite as well without it! >_<

Well that's what we were talking about before. It's obviously not energybending, but he is taking the bending away SOMEHOW. It's probably reversible in a way that real energybending isn't, but they're definitely not gonna explain how it works for a while, I think.

Anyways, this council is so dumb. It's basically Tenzin vs. Tarlokk and 3 doormats. I guess that's kinda realistic when it comes to government, actually.

It's not like it's impossible for it to legitimately be energybending. For example, maybe only the user/the victim see the lights, that wouldn't be too crazy.
Having said that, I personally don't believe he's really doing energybending. One of the cooler theories I've heard is that he's in cahoots with Koh and he's stealing a person's spiritual "face", leaving them unable to access their head chakras and bend. (Aang's enerybending worked through the head and the heart chakras, so this wouldn't be too insane. >_>) Even that idea is pretty out there though, but aside from that I don't have any really good guesses as to what it could be.

Really we don't know how energy bending used to work. Only that it's what people used to bend before they bent the elements. To me that means there could be varying degrees of energy bending. I don't see why it couldn't actually be energy bending, just some technique different from what Aang used.

Basically the show is trying really hard to make sure no one knows how it actually works, so anything is possible. If Amon has some connection with the Spirit World, then there's a ton of shenanigans he could be pulling. I don't think that's likely, though.

More like Tenzin vs. Tarrlok and his doormats.

Tenzin is totally right about Amon every time it comes time to discuss him, but he can never get things done because he doesn't play the game like Tarrlok does.
