Not about the Avatar state but...
I think that man in the flashbacks that was fighting Aang was Amon. His face seemed a bit torn up but it didn't look anything like Zuko's scar. Speaking of Zuko, I'm hoping Zuko shows up soon!

If he shows up, I really am hoping it's not in just a general sort of "hey here he is, cameo/fan service for everyone" type of role; it would be cool to see Zuko in a more active role, even if he's a retired firelord. I mean, if Bumi and the other old people can kick ass, no reason Zuko still can't right? As as Korra still hasn't "truly" mastered firebending, he could always give more instruction in that to her and Mako.
I had the same suspicions at first, and it's still somewhat likely that he's working with the Equalists, but the theory that Tarrlok is Amon was kind of shot down when we see the council make the decision not to cancel the championship, and then see the Lieutenant pass the information on to Amon in the next scene. Amon's reaction was hardly surprised, but it implied that he didn't know that beforehand, while if he was Tarrlok he would have already known.
Shinryu said:
The thing to keep in mind is that now they're in a fairly major city, as opposed to the country. If earthbenders start bending everything left and right like they did in TLA, the city's going to end up getting destroyed. Sure they could rebuild it afterward to some degree, but the anti-bending sentiment would skyrocket if they did that. Metalbending, by comparison, isn't anywhere near as destructive to the infrastructure.
ZOMG ZUKO!!1!!! big image ensues

i don't think those are real. i thought episode 7 was going to be called The Aftermath, which would make more sense. and i heard that Tahno's VA said episode 6 was his last, which would probably make Tahno's Love Triad not real.
edit: also, i don't think Tarrlok is related to Amon in anyway. He just seems like a really slimy politician who's only looking out for himself. he's not sure what will happen at the probending finals so he decides to cancel it. but when Lin comes in and agrees to watch over it (in his words, "so are you saying you'll take FULL RESPONSIBILITY?"), he agrees since it's really a win-win situation: (1) if something happens and the police take down the equalists, he'll look good and be able to say that they city took a stand (2) if something happens and the police are overwhelmed, he can just push all of the blame on Lin.
oops, my bad :x
btw, the rumors about this saturday being a double episode are false. the guy who directs the martial arts and videography for LoK has a tumblr and answers questions pretty frequently. i asked him if it would be 2 episodes and he said it's definitely just 1 :(
and he just posted that the week after there will be no new episode because of memorial day weekend, which doesn't make that much sense to me but okay

Speaking of this, I think it's really cool how Konietzko and some of the other avatar staff use tumblr and seem to have a pretty good idea of where their fanbase stands; they could possibly even use it to shape LoK. I mean, the whole Makorra/Borra thing is blatantly messing with the shippers out there. Overall, I think the fact that the producers are connected with the fans can only mean good things for LoK.
Agreed. I've got a tumblr and Konietzko along with Sifu Kisu post the best things - they're in touch with the social network and they know how much these "shipping wars" are SCREWING with what is, let's face it, the worst shipping fandom of all time.
I just rewatched a few episodes in Airbender series. as powerful as Korra is, I doubt she could win against Azula, but that's just my opinion.
so there won't be a new episode on Memorial Day weekend? bummer.

Dunno why we're talking about Azula vs Korra, but considering Korra has access to waterbending, I'd give her the edge. In a pure agni-kai style fight, probably go with Azula since even unhinged she was doing a decent job vs Zuko and likely has firebending far more mastered than the recently mastered Korra.
So? That really isn't very indicative of mastery considering the Avatar is supposed to bend all 4 elements, we don't really know what age kids in avatar world start bending elements after all.
Though I do agree on most of the TLA characters pretty much kicking ass over the current generation.
Well, keep in mind that we're still relatively early into the first season of Korra, while we've seen 3 full seasons of TLA. I'm sure the bending in Korra will get more impressive as the series goes on. Look at the first season of TLA and compare it to the last season, and you'll see my point.
One thing that has surprised me is that bending lightning seems to be pretty common now. I can understand metalbending, since Toph went around teaching it to people, but isn't lightningbending supposed to be a rare ability?

I think it's more that after the War was over, the Fire Nation--including royalty, aka Zuko--was more open with its knowledge, so that's why we see more of them now. More than likely, there were firebenders in the original series who could've bent lightning if they knew it existed in the first place.
(Current) Korra would get wrecked by Azula. Even if she mastered all of the elements, she'd have trouble taking her on. She's like the Amon of benders, she's goddamn implacable. In all of her skirmishes with team avatar, she never lost once. Some of those matches were like 4 or 5 against 1 too! Even when you consider how much of a pacifistic Aang, who couldn't land any consistent blows on her, and when he was about to enter avatar state she struck him down and almost killed him. Oh and she managed to ward off Aang, Sokka AND Toph (who's broken btw) on the day of the black sun (which means no bending). CRAZY.
The creators had to give her a huge handicap (going insane) and she STILL was too strong for Zuko. Even the fire lord was afraid of her... Korra could feasibly win if she could lightning bend redirect and became a master at water bending / fire bending (since I think master water benders can bend water from the air >_>).
