109 Out of the Past [spoilers]

Yay~

EDIT: I'm so glad this forum is back. I'm so tired of going on Kataang Forever when it comes to things like this - all they're worried about is seeing their "precious sexy Aang". I'm excited for this episode because we might find out what happened all those years ago...not to see Aang.

New clip!

Extended version of the last clip.
I love Meelo so much. :3

YAY! That was a great episodes!

So excited! Next week is the Season Finale already and it looks really cool. It was SO GOOD seeing the old Gaang together again!

Oh, okay.

Glad to hear that! LOL

Okay, so some coherent thoughts on this episode.

I love that we finally got to see that flashback properly and hear Aang and Toph and Sokka. They're all so grown up and amazing. I love their grown up voices and may I just say that they're all extremely attractive as adults. Especially Aang.



Yep.

Also, although Tarrlok got his bending taken away and captured by Amon, I still think he's somehow connected to Amon. I mean, he did get extremely pissed in that last episode when Korra mentioned Amon. Also, it was really suspicious how Amon seemed to know exactly where Korra was despite nobody else knowing? He also knew that Korra was in the box downstairs despite him not having been downstairs or have seen the box at all. Yet, he told lieutenant to electrocute the box before taking Korra out. How did he know all this stuff? And why did he take Tarrlok away? He didn't take Tahno away at the pro-bending match. I don't think we've seen the last of Tarrlok because there was too much focus on him for the last couple of episodes for it to be over now. And all the flashbacks and stuff were all focused on Tarrlok and his threat can't just be over so easily. So I think he'll be back.

The only thing that really annoyed me in this episode was all the focus on Makorra. Like... seriously, it needs to stop. Not only because it seems like such a forced ship that's taking up airtime by being forced down everyone's throat for no reason whatsoever but also because I feel like it's seriously undermining Asami's character. Even now, Asami is JUST Mako's girlfriend. It's episode 9 and all we've seen of her is her being Mako's girlfriend. She has so much potential as a character, yet we see none of that because we're too busy watching her get jealous about Mako and Korra's relationship. It needs to seriously stop.

Yeah, I definitely don't think Aang and Amon are doing the same kind of energybending because although they both touch the forehead, Amon doesn't touch his victim's chest. And I'd think to do something like spiritbending, hand placement is probably extremely crucial.

I also noticed that when Aang was energybending Yakone, he glowed a little as if he was in the avatar state, which makes me think that energybending may be a power that can only be used by the avatar. I mean, Amon doesn't glow obviously because he's not the avatar... so he can't really glow. But during those flashbacks, Aang was totally in control of his avatar state and he only went into it for moments to resist Yakone's bloodbending. So to momentarily go into the avatar state in order to take away Yakone's bending? It tells me that he might need the avatar state to do it. Especially since he was in the avatar state when he took away Ozai's bending too.

This is very true. I was most intrigued by seeing the flashbacks and the truth behind what happened in the flashbacks. It sounds sad, even though I like Korra I rather would have had a series about the Gaang after Aang takes down the Fire Nation...

Also, Amon being able to break free of Tarrlok's bloodbending. I talked about that in the "truth behind Amon" thread. But I really really want to know how he was able to do that.

HOWEVER.

That part actually makes me question Tarrlok's familiarity with Amon. When Amon broke free of his bloodbending, Tarrlok looked completely caught off guard and asked "What are you?"
