after watching the latest episode, I like the show, but see a serious problem: it moves too fast. It's only supposed to be 26 episodes long as a series and I feel it's going much too fast.
Spoilers from previous episodes
Consider the 6th episode where they enter the finals of the probending game. The probending was introduced 4 episodes prior and it's the finals already? it seems like it would have been much more dramatic if more time had been allowed to pass between episodes and let the tension build. show them worrying about the finals, training for it, possibly breaking down. remember in the first series where aang almost had a breakdown over the invasion? that was set up perfectly. this, not so much.
Spoilers episode 7
Or in episode 7 where Soto is revealed to be working for the equalists. this would have been a far more dramatic reveal if more time had been passed before his introduction and the reveal. we only knew him for three or four episodes and knew almost nothing of his past. without a personal connection with the character, the betrayal meant nothing.
overall, it's a good show, but is moving too quickly. B+
