I've already seen the preview, and it sucks that they're slamming the door on him like that.

To be honest, though, I guess I'm just lucky that they're even bothering to show him again.

Yeah well, with what happened to said character, of course the personality will be different. And its not like it was even that important of a character, I would have been fine never seeing them again.

Basically the way you were talking I thought it would be something major like... Tenzin is evil, or Mako died, or Korra gother bending taken away. This is such a minor development that if I just saw the episode and didnt see your reaction I wouldnt have given a second thought.

I don't understand why they would've built up to a really promising rivalry only to throw it away two eps later. It's not like Amon need take center stage alone! V_V

My guess is that Asami will at least be suspected of helping the Equalists.

Which would make sense, because so far the Equalists seem to be the good guys.

The good guys? They're like terrorists basically. Terrorists with noble intentions but terrorists taking an extremist, immoral approach. Not really what I'd call "good guys" unless you're already sympathetic to their cause.

Also I'm sure she's up to something but I'm not going to browse the wiki anytime soon to find out what. >_>

Oh man, that is amazing. Cabbage Corp hates benders because Aang kept killing all his cabbages so long ago
Sato is so helping Amon
Bolin is the best
Well it was a matter of time before they came up with something not bendable... can't wait until platinumbending, though
Holy crap Tenzin's air wheel thing
Asami just got awesome
Lin got even more awesomer

That was a great episode... how do the fight scenes keep getting better?

No, Mako is pretty freakin' lame so far. I want to like him because of who he's named after but it's just not working for me. He's hot as hell when he's bending or anything action-related, but every time he opens his mouth it's like ugh. Take today's episode for example: Korra's all, "Yo, that guy is evil" and instead of looking into it or even humoring her he's all "Nuh uh u jelly! Now we can't be friends no mo."

It's like dude... >_>

Realistic doesn't always equal good. Hell Tidus is realistic and gets flak for that all the time, so why should Mako be treated any different?

Meanwhile we have Asami on the complete opposite end of the spectrum. Like, her reactions are completely unrealistic- far too subtle. Hey Asami, a girl you believed to be your friend is accusing your father of being in league with terrorists. You gonna slap a b****? Oh, no you're just going to put on a slightly pouty face and storm off in... discontent. I can't even call it "anger", you see. Hey Asami, your father really is in league with terrorists! You gonna cry? Oh, no you're just gonna ask him why with a slightly different expression than your norm? Okay then...

She's basically a sexy automaton.

Okay so it's less that he is realistic and more that he is relatable. If I had a super hot super rich girlfriend after a life of living in poverty and hanging out with Bolin all the time, I would also dismiss any notion that her father was a terrorist, especially when there's no evidence against him. The only thing is that Korra is the Avatar, so she should really get more respect... but Mako saw how jealous she got previously, so that canceled out. Also it seems like no one cares about the Avatar anymore, except Tarlokk.

And I don't see the problem with how Asami reacted. Why does she need to cry? She's an adult. I think they are trying to make her the anti-Katara, so absolutely no crying ever.

Okay, foolmo. I can buy that Mako is relateable, sure- especially with the aspect of digging two chicks at once. That's cool and all, but it doesn't mean I have to like him for it. Especially with how he treats Korra. >_>

And I don't see the problem with how Asami reacted. Why does she need to cry? She's an adult. I think they are trying to make her the anti-Katara, so absolutely no crying ever.

An adult who has basically been lied to for over half of her adult life. For a reaction that's actually great in a similar situation to this, I'd suggest Repo! The Genetic Opera. Without spoiling a whole lot, I'll just say the daughter's reaction when she discovered her father had been keeping something horrible from her for seventeen years was one of wrath- she yelled, threw s*** at him, basically disowned him, and stormed off. I'm not saying Asami's reaction had to be that drastic, but a slightly pouty face and a "Dad, stop! ... why?" is just way too understated for a defining moment like that.

She just seems way too calm and collected- like absolutely nothing phases her, and I actually prefer Katara's melodrama to Asami's subtlety so far. It's kind of inhuman how unflappable she is, really. That's kind if why I called her an automaton earlier. I would honestly not be surprised at this point if Hiroshi Sato "built" his daughter. That would be a cool twist- either that or the entire thing was an act and she knew her father was an Equalist, and the entire betrayal thing was part of his complicated ploy...

I would like her so much more if she was a traitor. She'd be Zuko's antithesis and that would be rad.

Yeah, dudette. The real Asami was killed along with her mother the night of that Agni Kai firebending raid. The grief-stricken Sato, refusing to accept this built an exact replica of his daughter- no! He made her even prettier than she would actually be and imputed virtual memories and s***. Hell, he can make automobiles and platinum golems. A robot almost indistinguishable from a human can't be that farfetched!

Also, it's not like Asami is stupid. She probably suspected that he was a terrorist already. I can also relate to that, because I'm pretty sure my dad is a terrorist and if you told me he was involved with 9/11 or housed Bin Laden in Pakistan, I wouldn't even flinch.
