Nope, randomly discovered(unless that's changed) that it comes on Nicktoons(that channel that is kinda like boomerang and is just nick's trashbin/network for cartoons). I could be wrong but i think even the new stuff is on there but I haven't been watching much tv lately since that stuff comes on when I'm not up(I really ought to just buy the dvds or get it digitally...)

I guess I did misread you, pephary.

Interesting to hear that Korra is on Nicktoons. I'll look into that.
Edit: I just checked. Looks like a book one episode aired at eight o'clock this morning.

I'm not criticizing you, sparx. You caught something I didn't know.

I saw the finale. That was effin' fantastic. Anyone who dismissed Korra during book one is really missing out.
Korrasami fulfilled! I only wish they had kissed.

Darn it i think now that i'm hearing this stuff and really want to watch this stuff I need to snap this stuff up off itunes. I've been meaning to get caught back up and maybe next week's paycheck will let me do so...still think it was a mistake for them to take it off air though like they did(unless you count nicktoons which my phone has been going off like crazy with nextguide telling me either this was on :lol: )

The show peaked with season 3. That season's finale and last few episodes were amazing and it was also the season with the best villains. Season 4 never matched up to season 3's quality and the much talked about finale scene of the series was utter bullshit. In a series that has NEVER been subtle with its romantic relationships (and that goes all the way back to its parent series), this "ship" had absolutely ZERO built up. It came completely out of nowhere and just felt like a cheap way to get the show some extra attention.

I could complaint about other aspects of the series' finale too, like the complete 180 some vile villains made for no good reason whatsoever, but I digress. To its credit, season 4 was better than the train wreck that was season 2. That season easily had the series' worst finale where I actually thought the show had jumped the shark, but then it came back in fine form in season 3, only to take a bit of a step back again in quality with season 4(though not quite as drastic as season 2).

Kora was a very uneven series. Avatar the Last Air Bender was a better series with some amazing moments that had no equal on Korra, like this one:



That was fucking beautiful and epic

I have to disagree, I barely got into season 3 at all. I thought the villains were generic and gimmicky and their motives were weak. The whole season felt like filler to me. It is pretty great that Zaheer ultimately created what he was trying to prevent with Kuvira though, and do have to admit that they turned it around a bit at the end of the season.

Season 4 got me into things again. While Korra sat on the sidelines most of the time it didn't really matter to me much since the world and supporting characters have grown strong enough to stand on their own. Korra also finally started to show character growth. No longer hot-headed and inexperienced she's become the evenhanded mediator that the Avatar is supposed to be.

I agree about the relationship though, it came out of left field except for one hint early in the season.
Where she was sending letters to Asami when she was ill, and only Asami.
If I had any other complaints about the finale it's that everything was solved too easily and suddenly. I get that with this being possibly the ultimate ending of the Avatar universe (at least in cartoons for the foreseeable future) they weren't going to go with another downer ending like season 3 but it was all a little too convenient.

I enjoyed it though. I thought this was the best Korra has been since season 1. My only major problem is that I want to see more of this world that I've grown to love over the course of two shows.
