SPOILER ALERT! - If you have not watched the show before, don't read the following review until you have! :)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We spend the intro discussing Katara, and then we get an AWESOME Katara episode!

How long did it take you to realise who the Painted Lady was?

Such a joy having 2 solid side-quests after the first (intense) episode of the book! Can't wait for me~

Hope you had a great week, guys!!

I think there'll definitely be traction for Korra. The show has it's ups and downs, but in my personal opinion season 1 is definitely some of the best material the world of Avatar has to offer. It definitely goes places the Legend of Aang feared to tread and massively pays off from it.

Just looked through titles for the remaining episodes. I think your all good. Theres one or two but i think thats more because i know what happens in the episodes. I wouldn't call any of them particularly spoilery in the same way appas lost days would of been. Theres some bloody good ones coming soon though

Korra will definetly be worth it!! especially book 3 and 4 are very good. 1 is great too... just book 2 is not really that good but you should still watch it because it does have good things in it as well.

I love this episode so much! It really shows how much Katara cares about everyone, and how she doesn't care where someone is from - she just sees the hurt and struggles of others and wants to help! I think book 3 is where I started to really love Katara on my first watch through. Admittedly the switch was this and last episode because of the outfit changes. Just like Aang I really blushed the moment we got Kataras fire nation fit reveal. And then we got the painted lady look? Oh boy... I think though, if I would have had my first watch now I would love Katara from the start. Back then a lot of us were just poisened by the toxic version of feminist thoughts, where women are either strong or feminin but they can't be both... Now we understand that you can be both and there is strength in femininity, and Katara is a perfect example how that can look like! There weren't a lot of shows who showcased that - especially targeted to the younger audience. Basically, the creators of Avatar were simply ahead of their time!

Veggie, did you notice that The Painted Lady spirit only showed up after the river was cleaned? Remember Hei Bai also only showed up when it thought the forest could be healed.

I'm gunna hype the hell outta your korra reactions lol

I saw some other reactors complain about the painted lady spirit not doing her job and helping the village, but i think its pretty clearly implied that she couldnt because the river was so poluted. As the river spirit, it must have made her quite sick

Cari Ann

Yea katara saying she will never turn her back on people who need her was a great moment, shes so great love her.

James McCarthy

Could also be a time period issue as well. I forget his name but the panda spirit was an unstoppable menace even with much of his forest burned down but he needed the veil to be weakened by approaching the solstice perhaps she could not properly cross over

James McCarthy

In the friendly form, he showed up for vengence before he was given any hope. Might be the solstice allowing that crossover though

I asked my friend about Katara and he says she's his least favorite of the team because she's a "drama queen", which I mean... maybe a little. 😅 His fave is Toph, who's actually my 'least' fave of the team (I still love her though, everything is relative!) Fun fact, Sokka's schedule is the actual animation production schedule used by the creators of the show! I think the joke with the old guy would be funnier if he did actually have twin brothers. 😂 I actually think this is one of the weaker episodes of AtLA, which says a lot to the overall quality of the show considering that it's still a pretty good episode!

This season is a ton of fun and I think has the best writing overall even though these episodes are good there’s much better to come can’t wait

Logical Dreamer

I love Katara so much. Imagine a Painted Lady and Blue Spirit team up? That would be cool

A fun fact from this episode is that Sokka’s schedule is actually a very small replica of the ATLA production schedule!

There are some points you’ve made that I agree with (they really didn’t need that schedule at all), but there are others that I really really don’t. If sokka truly believed that they needed to stick to a schedule, he would not hesitate to prioritize the schedule. A large part of his character since episode one has always been doing what he needs to, however unpleasant it is. Whether it’s protecting his village or defeating the fire nation, he takes it very seriously and does not hesitate to be “the bad guy” in order to carry his mission out. He’s also only just reached the end of his “the fire nation isn’t evil, the fire lord is” arc. It’s easier to not have as much pity for fire nation citizens than it is for earth kingdom villages, when you’ve considered them to be your enemy your whole life. Also, as a guy that enjoys making plans and taking action, I think he would subconsciously resent them a bit for not standing up for themselves. He acts kind of coldly to doc on a few occasions and I imagine his thought process is something like “it sucks we can’t help directly but we Really need to go, and it’s annoying watching you all sitting around feeling sorry for yourselves.” And the thing about it is that he’s right. Depending on your personal values, he is right the entire episode. If it’s true that they have to stick to a schedule, then he’s right to prioritize the greater mission. He’s right that the citizens should have done more to help themselves, katana even says so. He’s right that the only long-term solution is to destroy the heart of the pollution. Katara takes that to mean the factory, but what he really means is the fire lord. They can help every town they come across, but the Only way to help them all long-term is to end the war. That isn’t to say that Katara is wrong. They can both be right. They’re both trying to do what they believe is the right thing

When you said "carry a torch for", I pictured Katara as the Adoring Fan XD
