I don't want them to have filler (nor do I expect any). I want people to realize that a fast paced show is better than a filler filled one.

Talon87 · 04-30-2012, 04:51 PM

The following is a gross oversimplification and does not explain all situations.

Reason to watch a show weekly: for the discussion
Reason to not watch a show weekly: for myself

Watches show all in one go when: myself trumps quality of anticipated discussion
Watches show weekly when: quality of anticipated discussion trumps myself

A bunch of "wow that was great" "omg best song ever" "WHAT DID I JUST WATCH I DON'T EVEN--" does not inspire me to dissatisfy myself in order to satisfy the masses. If you guys actually, I dunno, conversed, then maybe I'd want to join in.

***deoxys*** · 04-30-2012, 04:59 PM

I find that a lot of the things you've mentioned in regards to things you see in episodes and opinions would be beneficial to discuss around, but after having seen it for myself, I have to admit it's not a very easy thing to do months after it's already aired and the points mentioned have been talked to death, here or elsewhere.

I'm sure you've seen I've tried to pick up discussion a few times but it only works with some people, because let's face it, most members here don't really want to ever discuss an episode's events to great length or detail past a two sentence "Well, I liked this and this. This other part was meh, but not too bad. Good episode overall.". I'll admit, I'm guilty of that too out of laziness (multiple times, I can even think of a few recently, and in this very thread, even), but I think people might be more encouraged if they had an incentive to discuss and communicate/debate about certain points of an episode.

Maybe for you. I enjoy shows that take their time to develop characters and various subplots. A little filler is nice once in a while as well. I'm not saying Korra is bad because it's moving fast, it's just not the sort of thing I would usually watch. And, like deo said, they have 1 season's worth of episodes to cram everything into, so I'm not really blaming them either.

***deoxys*** · 04-30-2012, 09:54 PM

Actually, they are doing two books (at least for now).

I think Book 2 will be

I think they would extend due to popular demand.

**Loki** · 05-01-2012, 01:26 AM

I highly doubt they will extend the show. When a show is put into production, scripts are written, time is allotted, and budgets are given. When you change something, everything gets f'd up. Scripts need to be rewritten, then revoiced by the cast. Animation needs to be done. More episodes means a bigger budget. Also, another show which would have taken Legend of Korra's time slot is now forced into delay. New sponsors need to be found to fill in commercial time. etc. etc. A whole shitstorm of possible lost revenue.

Talon87 · 05-01-2012, 01:29 AM

I thought this was only ever planned to be a 26-episode series. What's all this talk about a confirmed two-book series?

**Loki** · 05-01-2012, 01:29 AM

13 episode season. Duh.

Talon87 · 05-01-2012, 01:58 AM

What happened to the original 20-episode season format?

Coolz8 · 05-01-2012, 02:45 AM

I wonder why the second would be shorter...

Amras.MG · 05-01-2012, 04:48 PM

Talon: I would be willing to have actual discussions with you regarding this show. Unfortunately, right now I'm viewing the episodes a day or so behind schedule and am only really able to post late at night when I get back from work. That will change next week, though, seeing as I'm quitting my hellish night job.

Just a thought. I know I'm not exactly the most interesting person to talk to, though ;;

Wait, is today's episode number 6? Cuz it's already on some sites =x

Btw, it's hilarious.

Loki The Path of Now & Forever Join Date: Mar 2007 Posts: 5,304	Okay, thoughts now that I finished watching it (Ignore the fact that I then shot up people on Battlefield 3 for about an hour). Spoiler: show This seems like the first big episode to show just how dangerous Amon really is. Sure we already saw Amon de-power the Triple Threat Triad boss and threatened Korra, but Amon kidnapped the mob boss and Korra was alone. Now we see Amon take over a whole stadium, take out the police, and depower several benders. I was pretty disappointed by Tenzen and Lin. They both got jumped and while Lin showed off a bit of her metal bending prowess, it really wasn't ultra spectacular. I'm hoping there will be more chances for both of them to do some real bending in the future. I really feel bad for the announcer. All he does is talk into a mic! Does that really deem electrical shock? I don't even think he's a bender! Shows the Equalists won't stop with just benders. It was funny how he kept announcing though. Brave soul. "I'm currently wetting my pants!"
