I just want to buy the show on iTunes. Is that so much to ask for?
There's something about that picture that makes Asami less of a concerned lover, and more of a Yandere that is keeping Korra heavily sedated
Me too, I thought Jeremy Zuckerman did tremendous work this season. For what it's worth, you can listen to a handful of songs here:

Doesn't read OPs, especially not his own
The way the scene looked leads me to believe they had fully animated it but nick made them cut it out last min

Don't think I saw this posted here but there is an interview with the creators and the voice actors about the ending of book 3 and a tidbit of book 4. It also reveals the release date of the LoK game Oct 21 and 22. Some insight as to why Zaheer was really good at airbending.

Yes.
Woah there, I'm sure fanfiction.net has you covered on that.
Yesss, he should upload more of his stuff on to his soundcloud since it seems like the iTunes release will never happen. ;_;
Yeah it would be really nice if Nick would get around to releasing soundtracks for the past two books.
Service and sacrifice really amplified the last scene for Book 3. Such a beautiful scene to end the episode on.
nickelodeon could do well by catering to their adult fanbase. i understand why they don't want to do that exclusively, but why turn down money?
and i really do mean for nostalgic stuff and things without the creep factor like korra or atla.
A small subset of Zutarans thought that the two would end up together, largely based on their scene from the Book 2: Earth finale, but most people recognized the obvious canon status of Kataang from very early in the series. Not everyone was happy with that path, but it was hard not to see it.
I was too (it was probably the first ship I ever became interested in, before I even knew what shipping was), but then I saw "The Tales of Ba Sing Se" and eventually embraced Jinko.
Yeah, the transition was very jarring. It didn't seem like it was the originally intentioned edit.
I think there's still smoke there. I was prepared to accept Su had nothing to do with it, but the late reveal of Kuvira and Lin's too-quick-for-my-taste forgiveness makes me think there's more to all of this.
The relationship angle in TLA was there from day one, and it's been a consistent theme in Aang and Katara's relationship. Aang hopped out of the iceberg sprung. The Fortuneteller was in the first season and the Cave of Two Lovers was early in the second.
Korra went wrong by making it the main interaction of the group. And it took away very valuable time the could have instead been used to flesh out the world and its characters. And it didn't make much sense as a romantic plot, either. Mako and Korra liked each other for very superficial, very boring reasons. It was barely beyond "they look nice together" type shit.
Funny aside: Asami was the one to bag Mako, which for some reason I didn't pay attention to at the time. She was a real go getter back then; shame they quickly cut her down to size and push her to the back of the drama to make room for Mako's bullshit.
Why wouldn't they? They probably wouldn't like it, but they'd do it if they thought it was necessary.
I mean if your goal is to end the Avatar cycle for all eternity, the time you want to do it is when the Avatar is a small child, so they're less likely to kick your ass when the Avatar State kicks in.
If they just wanted to kill the current Avatar and shape the next one, they could have just killed Korra in her sleep instead of trying to kidnap her from the metal city.

I don't know if I have to spoiler tag this but it took me the longest time to realize that the waterbender
lol. Also please for the love of everything more on what Sokka was up to, he was my favorite character man.
had no freaking arms
I don't believe they would kill Korra when she was because I don't believe they're actually evil. Zaheer didn't have any reason to lie about his former objectives when it was clear why he was gunning for her at the time.
I remember one of those early fake spoilers was that Zaheer killed Sokka. lol
Well that is interesting. I guess we'll have to see. I guess I kind of took the Kuvira thing, as Su being deceived again (because the Red Lotus have members inserted throughout the world). That said, maybe the odds of her having two higher ups being connected, is a bit too coincidental?
At least for me, it would be really crazy to me if Su is willing to establish a family and city, but be an evil mastermind (which puts all that in jeopardy). Also, while Su was definitely a terrible kid growing up, it's crazy to think she would go from being a shitty sister, to outright being someone that supports murder and destruction. Gah damn.
I don't know what I would say if they ended up making her entire family bad too. =/

I would of been super sad if that was true, or at least can we know what happened to his sword. Biggest avatar mystery lol.

I wouldn't doubt it, I just want to know what was he doing after the war and all that and other than being on the council.

Was that the crazy spoiler people were posting a few weeks ago?
Katara established he died. We just don't know how (maybe old age?). But i agree, it would have been nice to see what Sokka did after the Republic City council. Even if we didn't get like a full flashback, a mention of what he did would be nice.
Maybe Katara could explain what happened to Sokka and Suki as i'm sure they'll bring her in to try and heal Korra next season.
Then there's also Toph who's around somewhere in the world and Zuko doing Zuko stuff.

cant believe zaheer daddy got done dirty like that. he was too good for this show. king.
Well, that isn't right. They had great chemistry at the end of book two, when she felt great empathy for him despite the two of them being enemies for so long, she was even about to heal his scar with the magic water before the others interrupted her.
I think the chemistry was nice, but it was literally for like what...3 minutes tops? It's kind of strange how that one moment was enough to kick off shipping fuel to high levels. Plus, regardless if you liked Aang x Katara or not, it was pretty much established all the way back to Book 1. I mean, they had that Hippie Episode where they kissed in the dark (or were about to kiss), and Aang has had a thing for Katara since Book 1.
I thought it was a pretty predicable (albeit safe) romance plot.
Whereas I never really understood Zuko x Katara, as they almost never shared screen time (outside of him chasing them). It wasn't until the end of Book 3 that they actually spent a period of time together. Anything prior, the most was in Book 2 finale (but as I said, that was like a 3 min exchange).

Hello. My name is Elder Zaheer. And I am here to ask you if you've heard about Guru Laghima.

This. He would have looked like an old, wise sage with his hair, so you could sympathize with him even more. Without it, he just looks like a regular monk.
Man I guess the writers can be commended for not relying too much on TLA's storyline, but how much better do you think the show would be if it was just all about tying loose ends with the original cast?
Book 2 - 'What happened to Aang'
Book 3 - 'What happened to Sokka'
Book 4 - 'What happened to Toph'
Book 2 - 'What happened to Aang'
Book 3 - 'What happened to Sokka'
Book 4 - 'What happened to Toph'
Sure, but shippers even jump on characters that have no scene together, so three minutes are plenty, especially if they're so sweet. The constellation would be interesting too, two former enemies come to know, understand and love each other. Thank god, they didn't go that way. As sweet as it was, a love triangle would've killed me.
That aside, quite a few people were irritated that Katara was older and bigger than Aang and Zuko was much more fitting for their tastes. I sometimes wish they made the height difference of Zaheer and P'li just to shit those people in the face.
Yo, feel the wind, bitch

I can't buy Kuvira being evil at all. She saved Tonraq's life. I can't remember his role in the southern water tribe but I'm pretty sure the Red Lotus would be going after him shortly after they got Korra. My guess for book 4 is that she'll head to Ba Sing Se and try to be the head of police there. I wonder who will take over as king/queen though.
That's just terrible. Don't ever write. Not even fan fiction.
I don't like it. Korra should define itself by it's own maincast and not by another show.

Well so far we've had
Book 1: Flashbacks about Aang where Sokka appeared in their adult life. Katara shown as old woman.
Book 2: Flashbacks about Wan, Aang appeared again to guide Korra a bit.
Book 3: Zuko and Toph both showed up either currently or in flashback.
Book 4: Appa comes back as a mecha flying bison from the future, here to save Korra from the TermiMomo, an assassin cyborg lemur.
ouch
It isnt working though. People get their fan boners when even the littlest things get mentioned about the original cast. 'Omg the firelord is Zukos daughter!!?'
'You think Zaheer killed Sokka??'
'Did Aang really die of old age?'
We need more flashbacks.
What about webisodes.

Pretty sure they set it up so that the Earth Kingdom will be a democracy now.
she scarred her sister for life and nearly destroyed her mum's reputation and didn.t give two shits. I wouldn't be surprised if the cow was evil
I doubt it. That felt like a VERY intentional cut.
Those are nods and logical conclusions (the fire nations law of succession wasn't changed, yes?), but theming the whole seasons soley around the old cast would be too much in my eyes.
Ew, no.
Fans will get excited about any connecting tissue. Hell, people are freaking out that the Ant-Man set has fake ads for the soda from Incredible Hulk. That doesn't mean they should be relying on old characters any more than they have. Korra's story should be about Korra - not just relying solely on fan-service.
Zuko is pretty much an interchangeable character, a cameo. Comes on a dragon then leaves. If the story expanded on say.. his past of him and tonraq first fighting the red lotus I think it would have been more interesting.
Sure it would be interesting, but you stated that the show should just be "was all about tying loose ends with the original cast", and this is just wrong.
