Can't believe how long it's been since I updated.

There were times I was overdosing on her a bit and I don't think JP is that strong of an actress, especially relative to the rest of the

Agree X a million.

It particularly doesn't make sense to me because it seems like this show is failing in the *opposite* way than how tv shows usually fail. Rather than inventing pointless drama (love triangle aside) and dragging things out forever, it *has* plenty of potential drama that it either only shows through glimpses, ignores completely, or resolves within five minutes.

I was ready for the second season to be a non-bender Avatar getting in touch with her spiritual side, but... Nope. That took care of itself!

Also, Korra/Mako really just confirms the utter inability of the writers to begin to grock romance. -_- The rest just really baffles me because it's stuff that they did so *well* in the first series.

I've been surprised (well, not really surprised but maybe a little annoyed!) by people saying that the explanation for this is that they didn't have enough time to deal with everything. Because they had 12 episodes to work with and figure out what they wanted to focus on with that time. They chose to deal with all the stuff they had like this.
