Yeah so she didn't 'give her the ability to walk', she was basically a guide - doing half the job Jinora does for Korra!

Katara also used her water healing gift/ ability to heal Korra's physical injuries to her legs and body. She sustained tremendous physical damage to her body. (Katara said and claimed there may be long term effects.)
In order to develop that mental block you had to have had a physical injury to begin with. katara healed her legs, but she was still not able to walk so Katara guided her and helped her overcome the mental hurdle of the injury.

Korra has become really interesting, she has become an extremely relatable character this season. Korra is in a really interesting place right now. I have to applaud the writers on this season they are realign going all in on this last season.

*MrTMNT2012* · 10-11-2014, 08:35 PM

There is this balance the writers have to strike though; between other characters aiding Korra and Korra helping herself. We don't want her to appear useless but at the same time we want her to be more open to suggestions.

Btw I love the fact that the first act of the episode deals with Korra's physical recovery, the 2nd deals with her mental recovery and the 3rd dealt with her spiritual recovery! It was just a perfectly paced episode.

You are right there is a balance and great point on the pacing. this episode was well written and had a great pace to it.

*MrTMNT2012* · 10-17-2014, 05:44 AM

I'm just loving the direction this show is taking with the political thriller aspects and conflicts between the characters.

Everything is handled brilliantly and the interactions off the characters are appropriately adult and complex. I especially loved Bolin and Mako's confrontation this week, a highlight that demonstrated exactly why these opposing sides are inextricably linked with Kuvira; which consequently makes her the perfect villain for this final book!

The Coronation also developed Mako and Wu's relationship which actually made both of them more likeable and relatable. Finally, any scene with Toph and Korra was just pure gold, loving that dynamic between master and student. Very unique indeed!

Great set-up episode.

*Luckyday* · 10-17-2014, 09:57 AM

Granny Toph is awesome! And another thing, is that the avatar writers have better understand at Korra's rehabilitation then the tmnt's writers.

pharaohyami5000 · 10-17-2014, 11:39 AM

Korra was toughed by Toph, Prince Wu seem to have begun to realize his responsibility as the Earth Kingdom leader with Mako's honesty, and a bit of a rift between Mako and Bolin. Keep at it, Book 4!

Man, where is General Iroh? He's been absent since Book 3. Hope to see an episode of I believe Zuko's daughter that sat next to him during the coronation.

*plastroncafe* · 10-17-2014, 12:55 PM

No sign of Bumi either.
Here's to hoping that changes.

*CyberCubed* · 10-17-2014, 01:27 PM

Toph was pretty enjoyable.

I know the Earth leader guy was supposed to be unlikeable, but I still cringed in every scene he was in. I don't understand why the writers waste our time with boring characters that nobody likes. I sadly think we'll continue to see him for the rest of the season and after Kuvira is defeated he'll become the new leader anyway.

I see Asami isn't going to do anything this season either. Can someone explain to me what Asami's purpose in this show was? Her role was so minimal in every season that you could have cut her out and most wouldn't change besides a stupid love triangle.

I'm not so sure Wu will be the real leader regardless, they did make it a pretty big point that he is not competent, at all. It's more likely he'll be something more akin to modern day monarch, kings and queens in name only.

Leofan26 · 10-17-2014, 05:04 PM

Pretty solid episode, loved Bolin and Eska's scene the best, was hoping for that since since book three

Bolin's plot is the most intresting of the bunch in my opinion.

I'm not sure what to think of Prince Wu, so far I think very little of him, hopefully he grows as the season goes on. I think he's too young to rule the Earth Kingdom and naive plus he lets people walk all over him. Look how easy he let Kuriva take every thing of his

I'd hate to see the Earth Kingdom under a guy like him, Aahh let's face it either way it's doomed

LOL All we got was a quick glance of Asami than nothing, not even an actual reaction from her. I'd hope she gets a bigger role as the season goes on, though judging by the trailer I'm not getting my hopes up too high

I'm looking forward to the Kuriva / Bolin the most of the season

*CyberCubed* · 10-17-2014, 05:23 PM

On tumblr I see people already shipping Kuriva and Korra.

And this surprises you, why?

Some people ship, big deal. No one cares.

Anyway, in regards to the episode itself, yeah it was pretty great. Got a flashback of the Yoda & Luke training from Stars Wars with Toph and Korra.

You sure go to that place a lot. Shipping happens easy, even if it doesn't make sense.

Believe it or not Korra x Asami is tied with Mako x Korra as the most popular pairing in the series, neither one makes sense to me at this point.

Deep down I think he's actually a shipper, but doesn't want people to know.

*CyberCubed* · 10-17-2014, 05:52 PM

Tumblr is where all the shipper fangirls are, they migrated from livejournal and deviantart from the early 2000's. I have to read what they're saying, its like I can't look away. The heathens.

The fact that you called them "heathens" just shows you possess very little in the brains department.

And I fail to see why you have the urge to read what they're saying when you're just going to end up complaining about it. Couldn't you just, IDK, ignore them all together and do something else instead like a sane person would? Because I'm pretty sure no one else here cares as much about it as you apparently do.

*Redeemer* · 10-17-2014, 09:01 PM

So tried watching the ep on Nick and of course the damn site is crashing every two damn seconds.

*plastroncafe* · 10-17-2014, 10:53 PM

The Nick player is notoriously horrible. I'm oh so so sorry.
I've had better luck downloading the Nick App onto my phone.

As for Cyber, well he's just upset that girls have the audacity to play with dolls differently than he does. Which is extra funny considering he's the fake-geek-boy in this fandom.

*CyberCubed* · 10-17-2014, 11:11 PM

I'm sad to admit I spent the last half-hour lurking the Korra fandom on tumblr. Some of them are even shipping Mako and Wu because of the newest episode.

And the other half are arguing if Korra and Asami should be lesbians or not.
