Peter's girlfriend was fucking annoying. In this all she pretty much did was yell,scream and be fucking obnoxious. It got to the point that every time she talked i just skipped her entirely.

I'm kind of on Grant's side. I think every single creative thing produced has its issues and how much you enjoy it is based on how much you can ignore or appreciate those problems. Basically, the way people rave about The Avengers sounds exactly like the way people defend The Dark Knight Rises.

@Mark R., Pirate 101. Sequel to Wizard 101, but focused more on Real Time Strategy Grid fighting. Also, Beau voices the character Boochbeard who is one of the star NPCs who appears on the commercials/guides.

Jeff and Jason did a Loading Bar playthrough of it, too!

I've been listening to the podcasts on iTunes ever since I caught your review for Inception or something on youtube, and never really bothered to check out the site. I don't know what my mental image of Kayla was, but I figured, average looking nerd girl in a group of guys, getting simped on...nope...hot chick.

I have no problem with any of the complaints about the dark knight rises or Skyfall, even though I liked both movies I can recognize their short comings. But I am shocked, SHOCKED, that there was not one mentioned of Prometheus. No matter what you have to say about TDKR or Skyfall, at the very Least there was a story that you can comprehend.

@ Cedric Benson: Thanks dude, I'm glade other people are out there who love it as well.

@ Virgil Tibbs: I really liked Legend of Korra, the only think that was a draw back to me was the "date" episode, since it just seem to brush over the relationship between the characters. However I think its better they did that, then spend four episodes mopping about it or a "Will-they-won't-they" love triangle drawn out.

I do agree with your on your point about having a attachment to the characters, but I forgive the show on that, because they were only going to have one season originally. So they only had a short amount of time to build these characters, instead of having three season to do so.

Which when you think about it, was kind of a big risk to have a new series that didn't focus on the cast from Last Air Bender.

When you mentioned the Benders in LoK not being as powerful as in LAB, that is true, but at the same time there wasn't anyone opposing Benders in LAB. In LAB, was mostly Benders vs Benders, with a few people who could fight back. What I did like about the Chi Blockers LoK, was the fact that they proved to be a threat to the Benders, since with out their powers, Benders are left useless.

I would like to see a evolution on this, by having a Bender learning to fight enough to hold their own when they don't have their bending powers to rely on.

@ Everyone: I like Johnny Neil before it was cool! :P

@ Bizzer10: I liked Legend of Korra but something felt off. The Benders felt like they were weaker than in the original series and fight scenes seemed to go by too fast. The characters were alright but I never truly cared about them. This was caused by two things: telling and not showing combined with a lack of suffering. Nothing makes me love a character more then when they have been put through hell and back; I never got this in the series.
