Tenzin is pretty badass. I love watching him do his thing. The fight with the mecha-tanks was awesome!
Lots of people have wondered why lightning-bending is a thing now, and I think Mako's use of it is really telling. He has to work up to it and be able to concentrate. The only times we've seen him use it were in the power plant, when chasing the Equalists, and in the fight with mecha-tanks, all when he had fair warning and could work up to it. So it's not so much a rare ability as something that requires effort & concentration.
Asami fighting! Airbender kids fighting! That was cool, but I was terrified for the kids, even though Jinnora & Ikki were the same age as the Gaang when they were on their world adventure.
Baby! Yes, it was annoying that Pema 'happened' to give birth at exactly the time the Equalists attacked Air Temple Island, but still. Ikki was adorable.
Also, why were Asami & Pema doing washing up the shitty white people way? (And why is it the women who do all the housework?)
Lin's Last Stand was awesome. It just brought back so many memories of Toph & Sokka taking down the Fire Nation fleet in A:TLA. She's had to deal with so much. But I bet she finds a way to bust out of whatever prison she's held in. I don't think Lin was trying to be heroic and sacrifice herself. She's pragmatic and a fantastic tactician. She'd have some plan, even a vague one, about what to do next. And I don't think she believes losing your bending is the end of the world.
My money is on Iroh II being Zuko's grandson. By the time of the events in LoK, Zuko's in his late 80s. Like Aang's, Katara's & Toph's kids, his kids would be middle-aged by now and old enough to have adult kids of their own.
