The Legend of Korra - 1x05 - The Spirit of Competition

Last week I was fearing a love triangle.  Instead we got a love rectangle, and it turned out to be not so bad.  The main reason for that was Bolin, quickly becoming my favorite character of this new series.  After the darkness of the last two episodes, it was also nice to have lighthearted breather for a change.

NBC Thursday Comedies - Week 27

The season is winding down and the final arcs of shows are beginning.  This week we have the penultimate episodes for Parks and Recreation and The Office, while Community makes a major story push.

Game of Thrones - 2x05 - The Ghost of Harrenhal

While starting off with a bang, this episode was largely a set up episode.  Many pieces were moved into place for the climax of the back half of the season.

The Legend of Korra - 1x04 - The Voice in the Night

You'd think after the big Amon reveal last week, they'd have a lighter episode following.  Not so at all this week.  It was almost a less silly version of A:TLA's "Nightmares and Dreamscapes" where the Avatar has to deal with the fear of what they must face.  Unlike Aang, though, Korra is not the type of person to admit fear.

NBC Thursday Comedies - Week 26

Another great night of comedy...and The Office.  I am getting very, very close to that point where I doubt I'll be watching that show next year.  A lot of the actors' contracts are up this year, so who knows who will even be back.  Robert's already leaving and Dwight is suppose to be getting a spin-off.  Isn't eight years enough?

Game of Thrones - 2x04 - Garden of Bones

Danearys returns this week and she gets to do something besides wander through the Red Wastes.  However, that means no Jon, Bran, or Theon.  Overall it wasn't as strong as last week, but better than the second episode.  This week certainly had a crazy ending, though.

The Legend of Korra - 1x03 - The Revelation

Our antagonist, Amon, gets a showcase and Korra now sees what she's up against.

NBC Thursday Comedies - Week 25

Parks and Recreation returns!  It was nice to get this show back, even though it was only gone for five weeks.  Once again the four NBC comedies that I watch are back on Thursday together where they belong.  While NBC is doing things for me, they should definitely not cancel Community, and bring back Bent, and then replace The Office with it.  Yeah, that would be nice.

Game of Thrones - 2x03 - What is Dead May Never Die

I planned on writing this this yesterday afternoon to have it in before the new episode aired, but you know the many things people say abut plans and how they never work out.  In any case, I think this is the strongest episode of the season so far, due to some great maneuverings in King's Landing.

The Legend of Korra - 1x01/02 - Welcome to Republic City/A Leaf in the Wind

Avatar: The Last Airbender was ostensibly a series for kids, but, like the best of the Pixar movies, had a depth of characters and themes that made it resonate with a much larger and older audience.  It also had a lot of awesome bending battles.  Being the sequel series to Avatar: The Last Airbender, this show had a lot to live up to, especially after the truly terrible live-action movie adaptation by M. Night Shyamalan.  I'm happy to report that it does, in spades.  I've watched these first two episodes four times now, and each viewing it seems better than before.  Out of all the shows I watch, right now this is the show I look forward to watching the most every week.
