what happens

In Book One, Avatar Korra—a headstrong, rebellious, feisty young woman who continually challenges and breaks with tradition—sets out on her quest to become a fully realized Avatar, struggling to find balance between tradition and modernity, the bending and non-bending world, and within herself.

➖ steady — Holds one level all the way. Warm most of the way through. Early on it was tender and painful at the same time, which is the state people mean by being moved. Very little of it ever resolves.

Grouped by where it was written, because a considered review and a reaction typed an hour after the credits are different things. Every quote links to its source.

“The start of this episode is reminiscent of "Bitter Work" from ATLA when Aang and Zuko are trying to learn a bending style opposed to their personalities. I think the connection between personalities/philosophies and bending styles is one of the most interesting things about this universe, so I liked this part a lot.”

Every episode has a page — its synopsis, who was in it, and a place to rate it. A number appears when discussion or ratings support one; where there is neither, the dash is the honest answer.
