Just a thought, bloodbending can become more common for a medical/healthcare field in the series.

or everyone loses their bending and the Avatar is no more.
I think that would be the better ending personally but it probably won't happen. If it did then I'll give a standing ovation.

Just realized that this can't be true since Tenzin was standing next to Korra at the end on episode 1 when Amon was listening to their speech on the radio.
He was zukos servant.
"Master master Ive cleaned the gutters, milked the cows, prepped the horses, and Ive made you your tea"
"This tea... is warm. Ill teach you to disgrace my uncles memory!!"
"NOoooOoo"
"This scar will forever remind you never to give me warm tea"

Could be a nice link to our world but i don't think the creators are into that kinda message stuff though.
well it could set the path for industrialism and technology to help in the path to progress like now.
There is only one explanation for this
.......
Amon is everyone.

And yet... he is no one.
Just got done watching the 3rd episode. It's on nick.com in HD if anyone missed it.
Theory time.
I'm gonna guess that Amon's story about his childhood is a lie. But his story about a spirit giving him that power could be true.
The one spirit that we know of that has vowed to face the Avatar is Koh the face stealer. Amon wears a mask. I bet either Amon is the spirit Koh in human form. Or, Koh made a deal with a human. Either way, I'm excited as shit to learn more.

Just finished ep 3.
What a scary world to live in. Dude's talking about mass mutilation, and tons of people are on board with it because it doesn't affect them. Sends chills down my spine.

I haven't watched episode 3 yet, but why does everyone assume Amon is male?
*ahem*
Great minds think alike, I guess.
I think this is the case too. He's got to be lying about something, and it's either his energybending or his childhood. It would be so sweet if we saw a return of Koh.
Going even further, I think if Koh does have a hand in this then I imagine it's in retaliation to something Aang had to do post-ATLA. That would be a good way of bridging the two shows more, and would carry on with the motif on Aang's legacy, which seems to be written all over this show.
Because his voice is male? Specifically, the manliest voice, Steve Blum.
Oh man, I would love for Koh to somehow be involved in all of this. Dude is creepy as fuck and I loved all of his scenes in the original series.
I'm surprised so many people here don't think Amon really used energy bending. No light show, sure, but I took that more as a visual storytelling means of showing the conflict of spirits, not that energy bending necessarily means people are shooting color coded lights out of every orifice.
You might be right.

Ha, just got done catching up with the thread. Saw you had the same idea. Yeah, Aang must have visited the spirit world many more times throughout his life. Somewhere along the way, he must have rubbed someone wrong.
The stakes are high when the spirits are involved.

The Koh stuff would be so cool.

another great episode. Good thing it was available on nick.com.
I can't wait for Korra and Aang to meet in the spirit world. This show is so amazing and we're only 3 episodes in!!!
On topic for today's episode... Not sure if Amon did spirit bend, like everybody said it looks real close to Aangs
Touches him in the same place on the forehead, so maybe... but no chest action from Amon.

I think Amon might be Aang other son. How else would he know what are the pressure points on the guy´s forehead. I don´t buy his story about his dead parents.
I was just thinking about this some more, and do you remember the scene where Aang takes away Ozai's bending? What was happening right here, right before he put his hands in place??
It seemed like when Aang started it, there was that weird burst of wind / fire and Ozai was placed into this almost catatonic state when the process started. I don't think that happened with the process that Amon was using, did it?
Edit: And JoeFu, I forgot about that.

Are the Spirits mad at Korra for not going to see them it is her weak point, and he did say they been talking to him
That was Ozai's firebreath directed at Aang who snuffed it out with his air and managed to get close enough to do the energy bend technique.
Oh, I see. After you said that, I watched it on 0.25x speed and then I saw the beginning of it coming out of his mouth. I hadn't noticed that before.
Then what about the apparent catatonic state thing?
Also, Ozai's eyes kind of shake a little before the light show starts, similiar to what happened with Amon's victims.

Really good episode, well worth finally finding what channel Nick had become on my cable after all these years

I'm thoroughly impressed with Nick. They funded the shit out of this. The production values must be insane for a cartoon.
I had the impression that the requirements for learning bloodbending weren't quite as much of an impediment compared to fact that there's simply a limited time you can use it.
I might be underestimating Katara (and I suppose by extension Hama), though.
The only problem with that (however fucking awesome it would be) is that Amon still has his eyes, and presumably his mouth. Why would Koh only steal half a face?
Don't quote me on this but I think they mentioned that the average budget for each episode is one million.
I remember that from somwhere as well. Which really is insanely awesome if you think about it.

Also, these two are trying hard to be the next Appa and Momo:
That's expected?
Korra == Aang
Bolin == Sokka
Mako == Katara
Still the best part about the new series...Tenzin's kids

More of them please.

We badly need another trip to the spirit realm.
I disagree. It certainly was a throwback, but I love Naga and Pabu seems fun.
No. Yes, they both are the Avatar but that's it.
Episode had amazing action scenes. The motorcycle bit was fantastic. The technology fits in so much better than I thought it would.
Episode was also quite atmospheric - really dark. I can think of only a few episodes from the original that compare.
Enjoyed the Zuko nod. Kinda wish Tenzin played a bigger part, but I guess he will have his moment. Hopefully Mako stops being such an ass after this.
Amon is an amazing villain. Whether his backstory was true or not remains to be seen, but he is scary as fuck. Really glad they are bringing him out right away, compared to the Fire Lord who we only saw a few rare glimpses of for the first two seasons.
EDIT: I agree that the animals feel forced right now, but hopefully they come into their own. Naga isn't as fun as Appa, and the fire ferret thing seems like a direct Momo ripoff.

Yes, the series only being about a third of TLA really sets a whole different pace. But they kind of had to establish Amon as a villain soon because there was no real threat before this episode.
