This week, Collin and Kevin analyze Episode 12 from Book 2 of Legend of Korra, Harmonic Convergence! The Krew makes a desperate run at the Southern Spirit Portal to stop Unalaq from fulfilling his dastardly plan to use the power from Harmonic Convergence to free Vaatu and cast the world into darkness. We talk about Bumi’s mini-arc, the incredible aerial assault fight scene, and the sky high stakes that makes this episode a great time.

This week, Collin and Daniel are back to discuss the 10th episode of Book 2 of Legend of Korra! As Korra and Jinora navigate their respective trials and tribulations in the spirit world, we see some familiar faces and a whole new perspective of the Spirit World in the ATLA universe. With admiration and a critical eye, we break down this episode as it jettisons us towards the end of the season.

This week, Collin and Kevin continue our Book 2 Legend of Korra discussion by diving into episode 9, The Guide! Korra reunites with Tenzin and the airbender kids in the hopes of closing the southern spirit portal while Mako tries to convince Asami and Bolin that Varrick is playing them all! Despite how little the overall plot moves ahead (comparatively to the rest of this season) we get some incredible character development that we analyze and discuss.

The story of Avatar Wan concludes as he faces off with Vaatu during Harmonic Convergence, showing Korra what is to come and the challenges she has yet to face.

After taking a break to recharge and reset over the holidays and the beginning of the year we’re coming back into 2021 with something fun and lighthearted (or so we thought…), an ATLA Personality Quiz! Join Collin, Susan, Kevin, and Daniel as we engage in deep discussions about ourselves, the wild clip art used in the quiz, and Collin’s apparent grudge against Jesse Eisenberg.

After breaking Raava and Vaatu apart, Wan finds he has sent the world hurtling towards annihilation. This week, Collin, Kevin, and Susan examine part 2 of Beginnings. We discuss the first half of the episode, breaking down the story beats and the significant additions to the Avatar lore as well as what we wish they could have expanded on. Big shoutout to the folks in our Discord, which you can join here: https://discord.com/invite/5mgS2ah7KU, who gave us some wonderful prompts to talk about at the beginning of today’s episode!

The saga continues as we dive farther into the Beginnings episodes of Legend of Korra! This week, Collin, Daniel, and Kevin talk about the introduction of Raava and Vaatu, Wan's connection with the spirits, and the other nods to Hayao Miyazaki's work throughout it all.
