You know, I was not a Borra shipper...but that last episode. I mean, Bolin took a level in badass. Or two.
That tie-breaker...dang that was awesome.
And, yeah, Bolin's reaction to seeing that was just tragic. Right when he was bringing that awesome bouquet and everything, and just when he thought he had a chance too. Ouch. Kinda hating on Mako right now, he's being selfish and taking all the girls!

Bolin was the only good thing about that episode.

Funny, because out of all the characters in that episode, Bolin was the only one who broke down crying. For a guy who seems to hate Korra for being whiny...
Of course, Bolin had a good reason to break down. I mean...damn.

I didn't catch the episode, but Ameri is complaining about it. It must have been good.

At first he was angry, impatient, and the main villian. But through some magical character development, he turns into.... A compassionate good guy, the majestic Fire Lord, and a general boss.
Another example? Mai. At first, plenty of us thought she was a gloomy, whiny emo bitch. I should know, i was one of those people. But as the series progressed, with character development, I actually started to like her. Probably her most epic bit was when she fought Azula, and that crazy crack-head princess asked "How dare you betray me?!" or something like that, and Mai said "Because I love Zuko more than I fear you!" Epic. So yeah Korra's not perfect now, but I have a feeling she's going to get pretty epic.

There was nothing developmental about that episode. It was badly written, forced shipping.

Except the part where they wound up having to deal with their conflicts of interest, the part where Bolin became a total badass, the introduction of a new character and the cast's reaction to Pretty Boy Wolf Bat, etc, etc.

I know, he's such a good kid and everything. He kinda seems like a more simple/less pimping version of Sokka. Although I could be wrong.

Bitch crying aside, he was straight up awesome that episode. I like him better than Mako anyway.

Yeah, kinda not liking Mako right now, thanks to that episode.

Conflict of interest? Please. I can sum up that episode like so.

And scene.

I like Korra.
I've got a girlfriend, but me too.
Oh no, he kissed her.
Whining.
Win the bending match.

And scene.

Mmm, yes, I like your approach to Human emotion. I'm sure the 'extreme oversimplification and disdain for emotion' approach works well IRL, yes?

He's trying to hog all the pretty ladies to himself!

At least we can agree on that.

He's very emotionally charged, very passionate, very caring person. I think he's still sorta living under his brother's shadow, but from last episode, I think he's trying to get out from under that, and grow more as his own person.
We'll see how he winds up. I wasn't much a fan of Sokka to start, but he grew on me with time.

by **Ameriganastan** » Sat May 05, 2012 10:00 am

No one was a fan of Sokka at the start. Mostly because he was a dick. Bolin has no such issue.

So, let's take a guess at how the Pro Bending final match with Ugly Prick will go.

I'm wagering on The Fire Ferrets getting it handed to them.

I think the guy from the other team will do something to piss Korra off enough so that she disqualifies the Fire Ferrets from the Finals.
That, or something interrupts the finals, IE Tarlok and his task force need her for something.

Seriously? SERIOUSLY? You were the only one on this entire thread complaining about the last episode! The only one. First you insult the writers and character development (lest we forget the sexist comments to females) and now you're calling it awesome and this new one a waste?

Well, it was awesome compared to this episode anyway.

First I was Makorra and now I'm Masami, and then they tease me with Bokorra! I liked Bokorra!

What is up with this episode screwing with my mind!

That said it's a great episode. Really cements the differences between ATLA and ATLoK, it's a more personal, more mature show. Not that ATLA was immature to say. No sir.

On a side note, assuming Legend of Korra goes past the first season, which it likely will be demanded to, what are they going to name the next book? Water, Earth, Fire, Air what's next?

Not the only thing I was referring to, I meant the theme and mood in general. Whiny teenage Romance is a little angsty, but it's not immature.

No. Even worse! She'll use character development... oh wait, you wouldn't know if she did anyways.

It's far more mature than having a crush on a girl for 3 seasons and not saying a word about it to her until the end. (*Cough* Kataraang *Cough*)

The episode this yutz actually shows some development, I'll be dumbfounded.

Aang was 12. Oh, and a little distracted trying to SAVE THE WORLD!

It really isn't.

I'm kind of dissapointed with TLOK right now. It's just...not that cool.
