Well please finish it if you get the chance, you won't regret it man. :) Book 3 is pretty wicked too. As for Korra, I know exactly where you're coming from. I still can't decide if I like or hate this series, there are plenty of elements in it I could do without entirely, distracting to what I know to be Avatar from my experience in watching the original show. I can tell you this much, Book 1 sucks. I did not enjoy that at all. Book 2 was sort of an improvement, sort of, fans don't care too much for it, Book 3 was a great deal better, and people like Book 4, I don't know if I do yet. Still working through it. What have been your own reservations on Korra?

Well they ought to make that effort a little more consistent, there's no reason for burning out or squandering good ideas while investing energy in obviously bad and disserviceable ideas, and there's zero excuse for letting it get as deplorable as TDAS. If TDPI is so great, then I want to see the momentum continue into future season, I don't want it to be just some fluke. The quality standard needs to remain much, much higher and a lot more consistent, and it needs to be met consistently. I'm not looking for perfection, but I am insistent on both effort and respect for the audience. As for timing, I suppose so, but I think we needed those first few months to really drive home the point as to why TDAS was terrible. I'm glad TDPI was decently received, I only hope I get something out of it when I'm done with it. But I do not expect to be amazed.

Pretty much, now in Jupiter Ascending he's playing a "Han Solo" type apparently. XD

Geoffrey Rush really owned that movie. And no, I have not seen War Horse yet. But I really should.

Guy's got a lot of momentum going for him right now. :D

I don't mind that either, I respect animes for their complexity and intense themes, we need more challenging shows like that, especially in the West. I look forward to finally giving it a proper look. And man, does it have gorgeous animation or what?

He knows how to drive the point home, doesn't he? I knew you'd like him, PLENTY more where that came from. ;)

Honestly, I was kind of disgusted to see those responses. I agree there, the Hurl of Shame should've been the end of it, it should've been the ceiling limit, I mean I don't even like the freaking Drop of Shame for crying out loud. I don't like the Flush for how degrading it is, I don't like that being the last we see of each camper in that season, especially if they ended up as a literal floater at the end, I don't like the thought of them being at risk of drowning during the ride........Absolutely vile. It's not funny, and I have no problem telling anyone that it isn't. It's like the Unholy Trinity, it's something you do not justify.

Probably, yeah. Whoever was in charge of the comedy in this season doesn't understand how it works.

I want them to be mature questions. I think it's good to ask the harder questions, asking the tough questions is necessary, it gets people to think a bit. And it should not be wasted on petty questions, we got a show here that's taken too many dives down the crapper, I'm talking about tackling the issues that have led to these slips.

You don't want to watch Things Change, it's a really crappy episode, it opens up a thousand questions and answers none of them. Simply put, it's not a finale.

Yeah, Teen TItans has a lot of merit to its name, it still has a good reputation all on its own. :D Great characters, great animation, and some wicked stories to tell.

How much do you want to bet drugs had a part in it? Absolutely deplorable animation, characterizations, and writing all around, this is comedy at its worst and lowest. It has no class, no finesse or cleverness to be found, and doesn't deserve to be associated with the original series. Mr. Enter pretty much summed it up as the similarly animated Johnny Test combined with the far more popular Titans as one big massive ratings trap, and it's a good explanation for what we have here; a show that does all the usual Johnny Test BS but suckering people in by having much more popular characters do it all in his place. And man, he makes so much sense there with that one. Though I guess in a sense as you said it is much more self-aware than TDAS, which deludes itself as a "love letter" to fans when it's really a horrible fanfiction confused for a legit script.

Actually, Robot Chicken can be legitimately funny at times. ^ ^;

Raven's wonderful, she's the kind of character we need to see more of. :D Her complexity is quite refreshing and she deserves a full return in a continuation or series MUCH better than this dreck, something that really does her justice. Canceling the show was one of CN's worst move, I hate that 65-episode ceiling the network won't grow out of. Such an archaic policy. It deseved at least a sixth season, maybe more if that was a hit too. I want to see a reboot or retooling sometime, that's what I think fans would go for.
