The things they’re trying to set up are That Airbending’s back There’s a big bad named Zaheer the return of the Spirit World is causing problems which make Korra leave the city and Just A General Update on Folks. I guess it the showrunner’s thing at this point but I don’t like it and I don’t see how it adds to giving me the story they want to give.Ĭonsider this. Now that we’re three for three on this, I don’t know whether to be exasperated or meh or grumpy or what. Let’s start the beginning.Īt this point I’m wondering if any show has ever rivalled The Legend of Korra for its willingness to dispense with telling a story in the first episode of a series so that they can squeeze in a bunch of plot foundation for the whole thing. However, I do have a lot of bones to pick along with compliments to give.

I then binged the rest of it over the following twenty four hours or so.īook Three: Spirits is some good television. Now, sure, I may have spent some of that time complaining to a friend but even so, wow. I can’t think of a higher compliment to pay than “your show made me think an hour was twenty minutes”. Episode Five just ended (no credits is one hell of a drug).

Next time I know I’m thinking “huh, this is a long episode” and Netflix asks me if I want to keep watching. My intent was to watch an episode or two so I could do this as a two episode a go watch through. Fast forward to Wednesday where I was thinking “okay, yeah, time to get back on the horse” and stuck on episode two from the beginning. I watched the first episode a long time back and a little bit of the second, and gave up because I wasn’t paying attention and there was nothing to make me pay attention. Here’s how watching the third book of The Legend of Korra went for me.
