Studio Mir returned this week for a special 2-part episode of The Legend of Korra, and what a treat! The animation was gorgeous, the style was beautiful, and the story itself was fun and engaging. If you only watch two episodes this season, make it these two. My recap, thoughts and speculation are below the jump.

Episode 2.05 aired last night, so here’s my weekly recap, thoughts and speculation. I’m going to start out by saying that this one was difficult to write. I want to love this season, I really really do. I also prefer to focus on the positive, because there’s so much criticism and cynicism on the Internet already, and I’m grateful that we’re getting more seasons in the universe I adore. This episode, however, clinched a few things that have been bothering me about this season so far, and this week’s Thoughts section is going to discuss those.
First, though, let’s do the episode recap. Spoilers ahead!

The third episode of Book Two of The Legend of Korra aired last night, so it’s time for another recap. I’ll start by saying I enjoyed this episode much more than the premier, though it’s hard to say if that was due to a leap in quality, or because I watched M. Night Shyamalan’s The Last Airbender directly before I watched this episode. (That movie has the power to make absolutely anything seem amazing by comparison.) Overwhelming evidence points to an actual leap in quality. Recap, thoughts, and speculation after the jump. As always, beware of spoilers!
After a long wait, the Book Two of The Legend of Korra premiered last night with two episodes. After the jump, I’ll be providing an episode recap, thoughts and speculation. Beware of spoilers!

In April 2012, Nickelodeon released a sequel to the hit children’s cartoon Avatar: the Last Airbender. The Legend of Korra, originally a twelve-episode mini-series, was such a huge success that it was quickly renewed for three more seasons, with Book Two: Spirits starting up on Friday, September 13th.
If you haven’t seen Book One: Air yet, you’re missing out on a fast-paced, action-packed story with stunning art, gorgeous music, and some of the best animation on TV. The fight choreography alone makes it a worthwhile watch. Don’t worry if you never watched Avatar — the show does a good job of recapping the important plot points so first-time viewers can follow along.
As Book Two airs, I’ll be providing weekly episode recaps and theories here on Awesome Friday! To kick it all off, here is a Book One recap, along with some discussion and speculation about Book Two.

_Avatar: The Last Airbender_ might have been a kids show but it featured an amazing world, fantastic fully realized characters and an epic hero’s journey story that spanned three full seasons.
Last year we got a follow up in the form of _The Legend of Korra_ which followed the successor to the main character in The Last Airbender on her journey to take up his mantle. It was, in a word, great. So great in fact that what was originally intended to be a 12 episode mini series has been expanded into a 4 season 52 episode show.
The second season, “Book Two: Spirits” now has a trailer and it is bloody gorgeous. Let’s watch!
