Nickelodeon has moved the final 5 episodes of Avatar The Legend of Korra Book 3 online.

With Book 2 yet to air in the UK, I don't hold much hope we'll see either.

Does anyone know why exactly that is? I know they usually show stuff on a delay but it's been bang on a year now since the first series aired.
I just can't fathom any logical reason to having such a prolonged delay for airing a show you've got rights to.
Chapter 2 airs today.
Cool! Thanks for the heads up.
I was a bit surprised at how hot headed Korra is, it seemed to go against the way of the Avatar, but then I realised that Aang was a pacifist and Korra is not.
Which makes for a nice change I think.
I still haven't seen an episode of Season 2 yet as I'm planning on having a marathon of them all but I'm really interested to watch it nevertheless. I'll be impressed to see if they can top the story with Amon and Councilman Tarlok.
As for the Tarlok and Amon, well they may not have got it as good in Book 2 but the antagonists are still good. And they've been able to take it in a different direction as well.
Slight spoiler...
I loved the artwork in last nights episode, They've put a lot of work in creating that ancient art style.
I'm surprised at how dark the series seemed to move, especially in the latter half of the season, but it still was enjoyable.
Bit miffed about
Let's hope Nick doesn't make us wait an age for Book 3. Ah.. who am I kidding? They're not going to rush.
I just meant in the sense that it was previewed at Comic Con 2013 and only now have Nick finally decided to show it, in case I didn't make myself clear.
Would you say Book 2 was an improvement over Book 1?
Hmm good question. Personally I think the overall arc with Amon in 1 was better, but the scale of 2 was bigger and it encompasses more about the Avatar than 1.
So I'll probably sit on the fence and say they're both good.
Desna and Eska are great too, although they seem to be trying to be like Mai from Legend of Aang.
The only characters I haven't really taken to are Desna and Eska since I preferred them more when they were comic relief.
I've already had a look at Book 3 trailer... wow spoilers aplenty.
My favourite episodes so far have been 7 and 8 - the origin story about the Avatar. I wonder if the finale will emulate the showdown in episode 8 now that the evil spirit has been released back into the world?
I also agree there has been an added sense of spectacle this time around but I think I slightly prefer Season 1 at this point; the mystery of Amon was very engaging and his motives made more sense as well.
There was still a lot of mystery about Amon right up until the last few episodes, this time though its pretty much all laid out before.
One thing that I felt was much improved though was the spectacle - the stakes felt a lot higher than they had been before. I'm really curious to see where Book 3 goes from here actually. I think it might be a more nuanced and small-scale approach because you can't really one-up a spirit which can threaten the entire world.
I think Book 3 isn't going to be such a quiet affair, from what I've seen. It might be more on par with Book 1 for its smaller scale but bigger intrigue.
I'm up to 3.3 so far and its really shaping up nicely.
Note that the blu-ray releases appear to be region free; I bought book 1 from the U.S. (normally region A) and book 2 from Australia (normally region
Thanks for the tip on the region thing. I'll have to keep an eye out for book 4.
I hope they do release 4 on DVD/BR now..
