I hope that the metal stingers Lin has are actually a reference to a power Peter Parker got seven years ago in a storyline: The Other.

Obviously Asami's father was evil and so isTarlokk (at least I would be very surprised if he wasn't) but Asami herself is probably going to be the whole Zuko thing where she switched between good and evil. I wouldn't be surprised if a plot point is somehow Mako's father (who I think is related to Zuko and isn't actually Bolin's father) is the one that killed Asami's mother which will cause Asami to join her father against the Benders for a little bit.

Im actually really impressed with this show. It's definitely going for a more gritty vibe than LAB but it still has that Avatar charm. That bit with Cabbage Corp was just a great inside joke for fans. It's stuff that that that made LAB great and what makes this show just a good. Also, the animation is 1000 times better.

Sort of stupid (Hypocritical?) that Sato who explained that his love was taken away by benders to expect Asami to let non-benders take away her love, I mean sure he is her father and it was her mother but come on. Shame that a bunch of the metal benders might have their bending taken away how can Amon justify taking a police officer's power away? Unless he lets them go for now which would be a wiser move.

Why can't metal benders bend platnum?, would the same principles follow for gold, silver and diamonds?

Sato working with the Equalists is interesting. Especially if he has ties to Sokka as some people have theorized. Knew Asami wasnt going to go along when she took the glove, but it was still cool. And we finally got to see Tenzin do some fighting.

Hi I know I'm new but I I've been reading these threads since the new series started and I just had a thought what if Mr.Sato is our character with the moral problems? Because if you think about it this powerful guy just lost his huge company and most important he lost his daughter. You would think since she is all he has that he would want to keep her on his side and since he felt so strongly about losing hi wife to the benders that he would feel the same way towards the equalist for making his daughter choose sides against him. So in order to regain his HONOR he will betray Amon and help the benders by showing them how defeat his robots since he created them and knows them inside and out and ultimately regaining his HONOR and also regaining his company and his daughters trust and the cities trust. Just a thought.

I honestly have no idea WHY people ever suspected Asami of being an Equalist, except for dumb reasons.

"She's Korra's rival in love!" And thus she must be evil, right?

"She's a non-bender!" This is the most ironic: fans suspect her of being an Equalist due to they themselves having an Equalist mindset in reverse: if a character doesn't bend, then they're evil!

"She's too nice!" So a nice person can't just be a nice person? And it's not like she doesn't have a rough side.

"She resembles Azula!" Maybe a little, with the black hair and lipstick, but other than that, I don't see much resemblence, and I CERTAINLY do not see any hints that she's a sociopathic mastermind like Azula was and could pull off a convicing elaborate undercover act like this. She's completely sincere.

"Helping fund the Fire Ferrets was a trick!" Yes....of her father's, not her's.

So yeah, I say Asami is innocent until proven guilty, and odds are, she never WILL be proven guilty.

A great episode. Not as good as last week. But yeah it some funny moments like Bolin saying "I vote makeover." I loved that bonding Korra and Asami had in the opening act.

I thought at first Mr. Sato was a red herring and the real culprit was somone inside his company. But by the end of the secord act, I begin to think it was him.

BTW, the end of the first act when Korra ran away out of the mansion, just me or it is similar to the end of act 1 of episode 219 of the original series, when Katara spoted Zuko and Iroh in the tea shop.
