Fair point, though it does tie into an arching storyline, too, in "Who IS Amon?" It was part of the payoff to that.
I feel stupid for only realizing out of the blue that they named Mako on the show after Mako, Iroh's original voice actor who died well into the series.

I don't know what to make of this. If someone just misunderstood that there is a season 2 coming up and when completed they will be a total of 26 episodes. Or is there more episodes ordered. But maybe just maybe it is announced that the Legend Of Korra have been picked up for another 26 episodes and 2 more Books. insidetv.ew.com/2012/07/11/legend-of-korra-second-season/

Book 1 had 12 episodes, and Book 2 will have 14. They renewed for a "second season" of 26 episodes on top of that (total of 52), which the story is assuming will be split between books 3 and 4.

Six months after Book 1, going to show short animatic of where the characters are. In the thick of animation and design and production, still a very far way to go, but lots of great concepts: - Opening of Book 2 in a festival in the sourthern water tribe, gentle snow falling, lanterns, circus games, A PAINTING OF A MUCH LARGER SOUTHERN WATER TRIBE! - Southern Water Tribe has a beautiful banquet hall made of ice - Great landscapes, storms, ominous rock formations - “Mysterious location they’re journeying to in this storm, with cool spooky lighting”, harkens back to the glow Aang’s ice burg had - Naga and Korra exploring the mysterious location - Twisted roots coming out of ice walls - Southern Air Temple all spruced up - Vistas, base of the mountain around the temple, very gentle, “misty kind of Chinese mountains” - Ancient air bender site - SPIRIT WORLD!!!! - Explore the spirits, background, creation of the Avatar NEW COSTUMES! - Korra is very similar, longer sleeves, very athletic, Mandarin a-symmetrical top, looks a little meaner - Mako get’s a coat! Still has the scarf - Bolin has an AWESOME green parka - Asami takes over her fathers company, more business attire - STILL A BADASS THOUGH, Goggles, and updated racing leathers - Tenzin gets ANOTHER claok - BUMI BUMI BUMI HAS PINK EAR MUFFS, Kya will also appear, Bumi definitely has the same spirit as the old king. Bit of a pot belly since we last saw him - KYA! No dreds, has a half moon necklace, bit of a hippy, FAVORITE SONG IS SECRET TUNNEL, has a special bond with Jinora - The Avatar parents get an update, going to see more of Korra’s parents this season, Korra’s dad was thought of initially to be like a line backer physically - Flashback to Tahnrok in his early 20’s, shirtless XD - Tahnroks brother, “Unolok” ![???](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/huh.png) will be appearing! Very posh, to bring up the relationship between the north and south tribes - His children, twins, kind of creepy, slouched shoulders - Verick???, Howard Hughes, little bit of a playboy guy, Captain of Industry, more humorous, great rapport with Bolin, VERY BRIGHT PURPLE CLOAK, Southern Water Tribe descent - Spirits! shadowy creature? Can’t even describe!

I am probably setting myself up for disappointment, but I REALLY want this series to get action figures. Maybe a stuffed Pabu.

Awesome. Was always hoping they would go a bitter deeper into that area of the Avatar mythos.
Also, really hoping we see either more callbacks to dead characters (like Sokka for example) or characters that are still around. Really hoping to see that Toph is still around.

I love it. It's interesting to see Zuko looking sagely.

Judging by the weird proportions in that picture, it was painted just after they joined Special A.

One odd thing I noticed is that, for some reason, the people of the Water Tribes tend to have their skin turn lighter as they age......... Remember, Katara and Sokka used to be REALLY dark skinned, now they are almost pale. Also, love how all of the character that we've seen the parents of ended up looking like their parents, for the most part. Sokka and Zuko are almost dead ringers for Hakoda and Ozai, Katara looks like a younger Kya, and from what I remember Toph's mom looking like, Toph looks relatively close to her mom. Makes me wonder if Aang looks similar to his biological father.

More importantly than anything, Sokka got his super awesome space sword back!
