That's a great way of putting it, 'friends with the occasional spark'. Exactly, that would have been perfect.

I really, really wanted more Korra-and-Asami scenes, to show that yeah, they actually are friends. That was one of the thing that got ATLA so much praise, there were very well written lady-friendships even when they were all very different people. Dropping that much-praised element in a female-fronted edition of Avatar makes no sense at all. Not to mention, if you insist on doing bullshit love triangles, having everyone genuinely, strongly like each other would make it that much more awkward and painful for everyone and increase the output of tasty, tasty polyshipping fic.

I was also hoping for more Mako-and-Bolin brotherly scenes--they've had a really tough life, they're each others' only constant, they have to be pretty tight. Mako barely expresses any affection for Bolin at all, he's mostly just mad at him or running to rescue him. It sucks.
