Let me get right to it: I started the episode as a non Amon/Lieutenant shipper and I walked out of it fully convinced that they must have had something going on. That "I DEDICATED MY LIFE TO YOU!" sounded more passionate about the man than the cause.

Which only made it more heartbreaking when Amon bloodbended him. Ouch, right in the heartstrings.

Everything other than that felt cheap, rushed or underdeveloped. My stream did get a bit funky around that time but I saw no good reason for Tarlokk to kill himself and his brother, it was a letdown and a waste of two perfectly good characters. (Specially since Amon was shown to be a total babe under the mask)

Mako continues to suck and is still dragging Korra through the mud in my books. I'm worried that he didn't break things up with Asami properly.

The avatar state and Korra's bending was handled horribly, I'm only slightly exagerating when I say that I could have gone to get a snack after she lost her bending and returned to find her cured. Talk about rushing.

I don't regret having watched the series (I loved the pro bending and spiffy battles even if I now realize just how useless they were) but I hope things improve next season.

THIS! I became an instant shipper! Add bloodbending and shake once.

High hopes for next season.
