My DVR stopped recording the show weeks ago and I've been too lazy to do anything about it. I'm not sure what episode I have recorded last. Is the show on a break right now? Mid season break? End of season break? I'm so out of the loop right now, but I'm afraid of reading spoilers.

Have there been any good avatar games? I know there's been more than one, but I'm skeptical of the quality of any game based on a nickelodeon property.
It's not a rumor, look up all the stuff on YT.

Hey Ziggy, Legend of Korra has gone off-air, but it's not cancelled. I think the big wigs at nickelodeon looked at the numbers and saw that more viewers were watching korra on nick.com than on television. So now, all new episodes will be online rather than on air. I don't think they're cancelling the show; I think this is just an example of the change from traditional broadcast media to streaming media on demand.

You can currently view all episodes Legend of Korra legally here. I recall you saying that you don't like the video player on nick.com, but I think it's the best legal solution for viewing the entire series. Amazon prime video has just book one; book two is available for purchase from amazon; no book three yet. You can sometimes find Korra on youtube, but it's inconsistent depending on how quick nickelodeon's lawyers are with the C&D letters.

Poor choice of words on my part. I know it's not just a rumor. What I'm asking is are there any good avatar games? I like the two avatar series, and I want to know if any of the related games are better than decent.

I played an Avatar game on the DS (with Aang, not Korra; and not canon with the TV show) and it was pretty good. Not great perhaps, but really solid.

I played it before I watched the TV show and liked it, if that helps.

The first episode of book 3 is on nick.com unless your ISP is suddenlink (grumble had to come into work early to watch Korra).

Looks like Kuvira (who helped fight Zaheer) will be the new villain this season.

I'm not sure if I hate the earth Prince or love him. I think that's how I would act if I was a prince: kind of goofy, but really full of myself.

Looks like Korra is no longer physically impaired, but she doesn't seem interested in being the avatar anymore.

Just watched the first episode of Book 4. Really curious to see how this develops.

May sound odd, but there was one of the gba ports that i played that i thought was pretty good(can't remember which because again that's one game I lost of many others). I bet it's the first of the trilogy of the games but I don't recall fully(I'd even go as far to say that game is probably a hidden gem of the gba, which heck for the prices i see it at ebay I might have to attempt to get the games...)

They really ought to make it where you can buy the series in full(of course I wish they'd do that with the original Avatar show and make it a complete set that you could buy instead of individual dvds) dvds. It may be just be but it seems like some dvds of some seasons of both this and the original are missing episodes from what I found when looking it up myself...

I still watch Korra on nick.com every weekend. The most recent episode, "remembrances" was a clip show. That's kind of disappointing. This wasn't as elaborate as the "ember island players" episode of Avatar: The Last Air Bender.

It seems to me that this clip show precedes the series finale. If you haven't been watching Korra lately, now is a good time to catch up. Looks like Michael and Bryan are preparing us for the conclusion.

I don't really like watching it from Nick.com, and since my DVR decided to not record it after the first half of the current season, I think I'll just wait for the DVDs. Or do they have it on NetFlix?
