So given that Lin Bei Fong's narrative reward for being the girl Tenzin didn't get with was being allowed to nobly sacrifice herself for his family, I can only assume that Asami will be allowed to similarly nobly sacrifice herself once she realizes that Korra and Mako are Destined.

Ugh.

Also, I'm starting to become annoyed with the treatment of having characters' bending taken away as the LITERAL WORST THING THAT COULD EVER HAPPEN. You know? It sucks, but it's... not that bad. Most of Republic City lives that way. A person's value does not derive from what they're physically able to do—but this show's portrayal of characters' reactions to having their bending stripped implies that a person's value, in may ways, DOES derive from what they're physically able to do.

Mako continues to exist solely as a fulcrum for irritating romantic tension, and Bolin continues to have literally nothing to do. Awesome.

I couldn't even bring myself to care about Iroh's appearance at the end.
