Anyone else watching this? I just picked it up (thank goodness it's running on regular Nick), and from the start I noticed everything about why I loved Avatar: The Last Airbender. Korra's a spunky new Avatar, and not nearly as annoying as she might have been. I like the fast-forward to the equivalent of this world's 1920s, and the whole anti-bending revolution is an interesting take on the world.
I'm really looking forward to where this show could go.

I've managed to catch it so far. I actually LIKE Korra. Ang...not so much.

Yep. Like Korra much better then I did Ang, just for attitude. Although she's cute too.

Enjoyed what I have seen so far. Seems Katara is the only one left though. I kind of wanted to see Toph again. Alas.

Re: Avatar: The Legend of Korra
I'm still hoping that Toph just lives elsewhere and we'll get to see her in later episodes.

Re: Avatar: The Legend of Korra
Korra kinda reminds me of Toph for some reason...But I can't put my finger on it.

Re: Avatar: The Legend of Korra
I noticed there's still not too many air benders around. Aang was the last one. Is it always genetic?

Re: Avatar: The Legend of Korra
With Ang being the only one, and his son being Korra's Airbending teacher, I'd assume so, there's no sign of one in the Pro-Bending games, or among the "Triple-threat" Triad

I find it interesting that in barely two generations we now have different bending types in the same family line. As well as metal benders now being so prevalent.
