- Well they didn't. Sup' Tenzin?
- I hope to see more of Mako and Bolin's grandma, that Gilligan cut of her, Naga and Pabu was hilarious.
- Bolin lavabends!!! I love how they were foreshadowing his metalbending just to subvert it into lavabending. Clever.
- P'Li and Zaheer shared a tender moment. I love those little humanistic touches into the villains.
- Chained Korra and Tonraq vs Zaheer --> Awesome.
- Apparently Zelda Williams (that metalbending captain) will have a bigger role next season.
- Zaheer can fly!!!
- Su/Lin Vs P'Li... fffffffffffff. But seriously, I love how Zaheer's gang was taken out. In the three battle scenes we saw our heroes outmatched and forced to think outside the box, be it Su covering P'Li's head with the jacket, Mako tricking Ming-Hua into that cave full of water to electrocute her and then team up with Bolin to force Ghazan into pretty much committing suicide. Reminded me of the time Katara defeated Azula again, with her brains.
- And speaking of battle scenes, the climatic battle of Korra vs Zaheer was amazing, just, amazing, visually speaking, great use of camera angles, action scenes reminding me of Aang/Ozai and in the middle of it there's this amazing oner where we see Korra chasing Zaheer and try to hit him from behind. I was blown away.
- Jinora totally won her tattoos here. Not only she displayed her spiritual abilities but also resourcefulness to steal that key and help free everyone and the necessary leadership to lead the new Air Nomads towards the future, firmly shown when she, along with the new airbenders create the tornado to finally capture Zaheer. And I'm also extremely surprise to notice how identical she is to Aang (I kinda hope she doesn't stay bald forever, though).
- The final plan of the Red Lotus, now that I think about it, makes sense for their goals and I'm surprised I didn't think about it, and the poisoning scene brought a lot of great moments, specially Korra's hallucinations of Amon, Unalaq and Vaatu. Visually, for the camera angles and the themes, gave me quite a Satoshi Kon vibe and it was truly frightening at times, specially for her. I think that my favorite part of Venom of the white Lotus was seeing Korra so vulnerable, probably her most vulnerable since season one: the poison not only destroying her body but slowly destroying her psyche. If there is no Avatar not only the world falls into chaos, but everyone she loves is gone as well and after believing she had lost her father, I truly saw her enter in despair and to just go into a truly animalistic side, I mean, when she got free she was just pure, unadultered anger and sadness and even worse, although Su managed to take away the poison and Zaheer was captured, it's clear that as of right now, Korra has been broken, shell shocked, she's done. Not only will it take time for her to physically recover (if she can recover) but mentally. That will be quite something to see in Book 4, specially with Ba Sing Se still in chaos, Republic City still a vineyard and the Red Lotus beaten but not eliminated and for that, she'll need her friends and loved ones more than ever.
