No, I have no idea what that picture means.

Actually (whoodathunkit) I really agree with the AVClub's review--especially with the very specific reading that gives the whole bullshit ending some real heft: http://www.avclub.com/articles/skeletons-in-the-closetendgame,81693/ Not a shabby way to rationalize it, and it makes a lot more...

Yes, part of the plot was Korra's inability to contact him. She had no touch with her air-bending or her spirit-self. And then out of nowhere this is solved. So, I disagree. The solution is just as abrupt as the turtle.

Where was the build-up for that, exactly? And how is that not a clear definition of a deus ex machina?

Hey Nick, don't get teacher on me on what "deus ex machina" means. I fucking know what it means, and it definitely can count as an example. Just because there were little bits and pieces of what could possibly happen, taking three minutes to so neatly wrap up the story in a cute little bow is...

The last ten minutes rushed and totally sucked. Makes me think that if they did have a second season in mind, they could get to it so much more easily. But even then, Korra didn't really change much. She's still bullheaded right until the "BTW EVERYTHINGS OKAY" moment.

besides the 20 different fairy tale adaptations

Jay, what would we ever do without your collection of images with words on them.

you just fucking love 500 Days of Summer, is all.

He did seem like kind of a dick, didn't he.

I thought the trailer for Brave was pretty muddled and meh, too. And it looks like, from what I'm hearing, is that its biggest flaw is that at worst the movie doesn't know what its doing, either, though overall, as usual, the end result is positive. I'll probably check this one out when it...

See, all you need is a little ass and your life is looking awesome

Review I did for a Simpsons website is up: http://deadhomersociety.com/2012/06/20/mr-burns-a-post-electric-play-enjoyed-by-all/ That was a great night.
