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.

Yeah, I believe that his is a case of "good intentions, gone wrong".

Same here, but he's likely the only one with the resources to do so.

Caught the latest episode of Korra. Was great story wise but looks like whatever theories I had about Unalaq are pretty much voided. He does seem "clearly bad" now more than ever but the creators gave Tarrlok much more character in 8 minutes than they did in 8 episodes so I hope there will be more to him than meets the eye.

Bolin and Eska's interactions were hilarious!

TRIEC to watch both season premieres of both Family Guy and American Dad. For some messed up reason some stupid woman's voice kept telling me what was going on during the scenes. I was pissed!
