I think Tenzin feels since he was the only actual air bender that even if Bumi and Kya had air bender kits he would ultimately have to teach them air bending anyway. It still falls on him. After seeing Civil War 2 it seems obvious that despite his mistakes that they do have good memories of Aang. The family picture and Kya knowing Aang well enough to reassure Bumi he was proud of him.

Well can't really blame them. The air benders are still just a handful and will take more generations to become even a small town's worth.
On the genetics thing, I mean it is possible that Bumi and kya may have an airbender gene (I wonder if there were interbender relationships? as in the previous series it was confined to their own nations.) And like others said, you either have the ability or you don't, but you can only have one ability as only the avatar can master all 4 elements. But I don't think Aang had the luxury to wait for his other two kids to have their families and Tenzin was born, so someone has to teach him how to airbend. And who knows, maybe the whole aang favored tenzin thing is to make Aang seem less perfect.

As for the show, I love the Eska-Bolin 'relationship'. It's become much funnier than I expected it to be. And then the end of civil wars pt2 reminded me of that movie (lame btw, good premise, but bad ending) 'my super ex-girlfriend'. She's definitely not the type to piss off. poor Bolin.

What's up with Nick not re-airing previous book 2 episodes on the weekend? I know Nicktoons airs the repeats a few times on the weekend, but not main Nick channel that more people are likely to have. I feel like one airing deal is going hurt ratings and affect the future of the series.

The show was renewed before it even aired. And there is no need to worry about the fate of the show. Nickelodeon has already green-lit 52 episodes.

I liked seeing Mako role in Peacekeepers. It gave him back his spark and made him more than just Korra's boyfriend this episode. I didn't really see him being in the wrong telling the president about Korra's plan. Iroh II an Korra have their hearts in the right place, but forcing the Republic into a war without the president's consent is wrong. I see the president's point in not getting involved in another nation's civil war and try for the peaceful negotiation first. But I also see Korra's point too. I hope they don't demonize the president just because he doesn't want to send troops to the Southern Water Tribe. Both sides have merit to it, so it would be nice to see that both Korra and the president's argument not have it end with Korra's right and the presidents a ineffective and corrupt leader for not wanting to help the SWT.

Can you believe that we were THIS close in to seeing the Firelord, Zuko, AND the Fire Nation? I think this is another case of "Trolling Creator". Here's hoping they do show this season.

It won't be for a few episodes at least. Next week will obviously revolve around Korra trying to save herself, and after that is the two part Avatar origin episode.

I'm not that disappointed we have to wait for Zuko's daughter and him to show up to be honest. I'm more interested in Mako, Bolin, Asami, and Jinora stories. I think or at least hope that Bolin's story will pay off. His friendship with Verick and breakup with Eske is doing a good job in distancing himself from Mako and forcing him to find his own voice/strength. By the end of the book he'll realize he doesn't need Mako as much as he used to and finally become a vital part of Team Avatar in his own way, maybe properly breakup with Eske on his own to signify that. I expected Jinora's story to have been followed up by now though. It looks like it won't be touched until the first Avatar two part episode airs.

I will say this: they've been doing more character episodes, so they've addressed the issues from season 1. As for the future of the show, I think Nick respects their shows more than say CN (letting thundercats and Young justice get canned due to low ratings or airing on the wrong timeslot: saturday mornings). I was a bit surprised the crew expected only 12 eps as it seems like a waste to set up all the characters only to just end on 12 eps or even the standard 26eps. So the fact Nick wants the whole 52 eps is a great thing.

Lol Lin commenting how she took her breakup with Tenzin and Mako getting it easy with Korra. I'd like to see Asami do a little more as well. Sure she's trying to keep her company afloat, but she hasn't really done much other than fly a plane and use the metal glove.

The summary I read for the next episode mentions Mako investigating Triad because they're threatening Future Industries. We might get good story for Mako and Asami.

Very glad that the next episode will focus on Mako. He's really becoming more than the Avatar's love interest this season.

So much packed into one episode. I like how each character had his/her own story to deal with. But that Masmi kiss was unnecessary. So how about that Fire Nation huh? Sure we didn't see the capital or the other cities and towns, but we at least got to see the surrounding area.

The Sting was probably the best episode of Season 2 and honestly the most TLA-esque episode of the entire show and what's funny is that Korra's not in the entirety of it. Honestly, this episode gave the other members of Team Avatar time to shine AT LAST. Masami had some kickass chemistry that sort of got me to ship them again. So much better than their chemistry in S1. I didn't see the kiss as unnecessary, it defined the final breaking point for Asami. Besides, you can't expect that she would TOTALLY be over Mako after their break up was left pretty open ended. It was clear that she still had feelings for him. Aside from the kiss, this episode tightened the bonds between Mako and Asami and finally gave Asami someone else on Team Avatar to be close to. The action scene was pretty intense, I liked it, evn if the animation wasn't the greatest. The Varrick reveal was something I saw coming...something everyone saw coming, but the convection of it was GREAT. Unlike Unalaq. Meanwhile, Bolin has definitely got his head up his *** . Also, not sure I like the idea of "Movers". Stop rushing the technological development of the Avatarverse, Bryke. I've never been one to complain about the technological advances in Korra, but to have motion/moving picture at this point is one step away from the internet and cell phones. I just want more of the mythical and spiritual vibe of the first show, which I thought this season, called SPIRITS could provide.

Korra having amnesia was funny. Can't wait to see where this goes.
