Oh no, I think we're going to go in to Spirit heavy territory at some point but this episode is pretty good scenario-building.

We see Northern Water troops occupying Southern Water towns, the uneasiness that comes with the sight of seeing your homeland patrolled by an armed presence. We see the troops on edge, feeling like they are in hostile territory. Its rather indicative of many real world conflicts. I won't name them because then the post gets too political.

Unalaq is cutting a very Palpatine-type figure right about now. He strokes his niece's ego to win her over to his side while playing up his royal and spiritual laurels. To her credit though, Korra hasn't pulled an Anakin heel-turn just yet and I think at the end of the episode that doesn't seem likely.
