I'm usually all for this kind of Fanservice but on this case? Not so much. Adding my vote to the pile on that one.

And to everything else you said actually. Both Mako and how there are so many shades of gray in this thing, there could have at least been a nod to them - Asami and her possible connection with the equalists was pretty much a lost chance to do it, so was Tarlock and using the equalists as an escape goat (Amon could have easily made a one liner about that one) and there were some more things that could have been said on that - I know we only have 12 episodes but COME ON!

It just sounded really out of place. Like, he could have deepened it or something or anything!

I eat up gray morality with a spoon! It could have been so complicated and dubious and glorious had they not focused so much on pro-bending and the love triangle. I had my hopes up with Tarrlok's story but oh well. It's just such a shame we haven't heard anything from non-benders than Asami's throwaway line eps ago.
