Worth the wait IMO. If you guy's don't know this guy already, look up AvatarJessal he pretty much gives good theories and predictions on what's gonna happen next. Here's one from Sawyer's vid but enhanced:


"Tarrl has been blood-bending the Councilmen/woman to agree with whatever he says/raising their hand to agree with a law he wants approved leaving Tenzin the only one who opposed." I have no clue how that would work out since they're able to talk while under it, but it's a damn good theory I've never thought of.
I don't believe that for even a second as how is it possible that he is bloodbending three people without showing any bending movements + those people not saying anything about it? If they had been physically forced to agree, then they would say something about it and even if their mouths were closed with bloodbending, they still should have said something afterwards as it's not like he can bloodbend them permanently.

Those council members are just a bunch of yes-nodders.

Just watched it...really cool...Still waiting for that avatar state :shy:

I thought Korra was going to bust it out when her friends got locked up.

Then I thought she was going to enter it after she was thrown in to the wall :(

Great episode. I was really expecting
You must be registered for see images

to happen but I guess We'll have to wait until a later episode.

I'm also glad that bending techniques such as Bloodbending, metal bending have been refined and upgraded over time as well. In my opinion this shows how tarlock (how ever you spell his name) is not amon, but someone that used to be really close to him. His facial expression completely changed when Korra compared him to Amon.

Besides, Amon always seems cool and collected in every situation, especially when he's fighting benders. Which also makes me believe he iis a bender himself, who wants to rid the world of the other benders so he can be the only one. (far fetch'd theory xd)

Tarloc and Amon seem to be complete opposites.

Amon is striving for a world with no bending, whilr Tarloc seems to want a world ruled by only benders.

Perhaps that is why He looked so mad when Korra compared him to Amon. I wonder If sometime in the series, Tarloc and Amon will fight?

Anyway, this episode blew my mind. Im predicting that Korra is going to have to do a spirit world journey to get out of whatever tarloc has in store for her

my theory is next episode amon will save korra because he needs her for his plan or because tarrlock is a very evil bender so he will be his next target and unknowingly saves korra by defeating him.

IMO AvatarJesal's videos aren't worth it. They're the same things you can see in forums, and his voice is also really annoying when you're trying to find spoiler clips and you hear his voice first off. Just go to ASF and click refresh every 15 minutes.

Great episode. Honestly I would have never seen that coming. Tarlock a blood bender? Never crossed my mind. I like it now knowing he cant be Amon. Hes the complete opposite of him. Hes all for bending and against non benders, while Amon is all against benders. There just too much up in the air at this point that the story could just go in any direction. I expected Korra to be more badass.. but she hasnt really showed any great Avatar prowess? but all in good time i guess.

But its only just beginning lets see just where this show takes us.
