Apparently, because I had to create it myself 
I remember watching the chapter two weeks ago and squealing out of emotion and thinking "OMG How are they going to top this!". And now I just watched today's episode and... the story is moving so fast, and the fight scenes, the revelation, the extremes everyone in there is going... it's just... awesome! And I didn't squeal as much as last episode only because I'm in a room with more people and they looked at me weirldy at the first squeal 
Closing words... AWESOME! Someone else following the series?

I'm going to try to catch today's episode on nick.com later. So far the series is excellent, but it lives a lot of questions unanswered. I'm sure everyone wants to know what happened in the 70 years between Sozin's Comet and the present.

I love this series!
When I first heard they were making a sequel to A:tLA I wasn't interested in watching it, but I eventually decided to check out the first two episodes and they were wonderful. I feel like some of the events so far have been a bit predictable, but the show is still so good that it doesn't matter to me. The fight scenes in yesterday's episode were so exciting!
I only wish that the season could be longer, instead of only 12(?) episodes.  |

Wow... and we are already in the eighth one so... only four more to go?
Yeah yesterday's was great, so good I always fear they are setting the bar too high for the next episode. But I've already been thinking they are setting the bar too high since several episodes ago, and they still managed to keep up, so...

I have no doubt it's only going to get better and better. They set the bar very high for A:tLA, so the creators are well-aware that we are expecting to be blown away by Korra! So far, I'm satisfied. I'm not used to the fast pace, but at least there won't be fluff space-filler episodes (not that A:tLA had a problem with that.)
I'm very curious what will go down now that Asami knows about Korra's crush (oh, Ikki! So clueless as to what she did...) I love the Air Temple family, btw. Tenzin is funny, I can relate to Jinora, Ikki and Meelo act just as kids do... Would love to know more about Pema, though... |

And we still have to know about Zuko's mother, Toph's husband, and the flashbacks! That from the top of my head.

DiMartino and Konietzko said that her fate may be revealed in the final installment of The Promise trilogy.
Toph's Husband has not been mentioned in the series yet.
Ah the flashbacks. According to Tenzin, these flashbacks are Avatar Aang attempting to contact Korra. She was advised by Tenzin to meditate on them. Maybe once she meditates and makes sense of these flashbacks, she will probably glow it up and put Amon in his place.

It took me a couple episodes to really like this show, but now I'm loving it.
I'm incapable of getting up before noon, so I have to watch it on my cable's on demand service, which is always a couple episodes behind. Grr. |

Perhaps an investment in DVR would be useful? Or finding a friend or relative with DVR that would be willing to assist you? (If they don't get why you'd be into a "kids' show", you might have to get some The Last Airbender episodes on DVD, make them sit down, and make them watch them. That's how my bf convinced many of his own friends.  Numerous Avatar-watching "parties." Everyone that's joined has been converted, thus far...) |

Already watching it and loving it more than the first.
Korra is just so amazing. Ah, I have such a crush on her.

So I was thinking about things I had to catch up to... and remembered... and asked the person besides me "is it today Friday or Saturday?" Apparently today it's Saturday...
IT'S KORRA TIME =D

I just started on Korra this week and I love it. I love the roaring 20s feel and the little throwbacks to the original series: ("Aagh! My CabbageCorp!") But it also had me itching to see the original "Gaang" again. So today I started watching Last Airbender again, starting from when they arrive in Ba Sing Se in "City of Walls and Secrets." The end of season two has some of my favorite episodes, and I also want to watch season 3 again since I watched most of those episodes only once. The Last Airbender could possibly be my favorite television series, animated or not, mostly because it was so well planned out and had a satisfying ending, something which so few good shows even get the chance to have. But so far I find Korra to be a worthy successor. I actually like the character Korra better than I liked Aang, but I don't find any character in the new series as compelling as Zuko was. I'm interested to learn more about Amon, but I don't think any backstory could be as interesting as Zuko's huge journey in the original series.

So they still managed to up themselves, the season finale next week will be epic.
People around me though all the faces I made while watching it were funny

Yeah it was so exciting seeing the new General Iroh (presumably a descendant of Zuko) at the end. And the fight scenes this week were great. Can't wait to see how Iroh fits into the story!

5 days to go for the season finale. So when Dante Basco said he was voicing someone related to Zuko, there he is. I loved the way new General Iroh looked in his admiral uniform. And Lin... what a shame =(
