Read the review here!

Meanwhile, Bumi goes out on a limb.

How this guy has lived this long is a goddamn mystery to me.

That kid needs so much Ritalin.

Like…SO MUCH.

According to Beifong, Bumi isnt the only new airbender.

But Korra can and she convinces him to meet Tenzin, so he can learn how to master airbending.

Shes found a new purpose: to help Tenzin rebuild the Air Nation.

escapes his cell in an impressive display of airbending, especially for a novice.

He praises a new age that will spell the end of the White Lotus and the Avatar.

Just… just… yes.

This premiere was amazing.

It was a solid, self-contained story that opened up new possibilities for this season.

Shes learned to be diplomatic to a degree.

Korra is also more mature in her approach to her relationships.

They even bond over how insufferably broody Mako is.

It is an incredibly mature friendship and one that is very refreshing to watch.

I really like the pairing of these two characters and sincerely hope this friendship is explored further.

Ill also say it here and now: I want Korra and Mako to be done.

Done, done, done.

Korras parting with Mako was bittersweet, but it felt right and not even all that sad.

Mako fucked her over twice.

yo, yo tell me that ship has sailed.

I beg of you.

As for Mako himself, his reaction to last seasons events makes sense.

Mako doesnt disagree, but cant bring himself to comply.

Not every character got the spotlight, but even those who didnt had their moments.

Im not too proud to admit it!

Even Jinoras affinity for the spirits carried over.

All in all, this was a fantastic premiere, stronger by far than the premiere ofBook Two.

What stands out the most is how incredibly balanced it was.

Ah, yes… Zaheer.

Hopefully it runs deeper than the fact that they were the ones guarding his cell.

But you know what?
