For anyone who'll be watching, Book 1 starts Sunday 7th July at 9am on Nickelodeon.
I've not read much about the new show, and its got a high benchmark to match with The Last Airbender but hopefully it'll be just as good.

Loved this weeks ep., I'd heard about Pro-Bending in the blurb before the show came out and was sceptical, but I think it actually works. Bolin and Mako seem like great additions to the cast as well.
Go Fire Ferrets!
I recorded it but not watched yet, only watch about 10 episodes of the Aang series, would have liked to have finished that off before starting this but oh well, will repost when I have watched it :-)

is it repeated at any time this week?

Thank you - that "New" is always throwing a wrench into my searches

p.s So the old woman in the first episode is the girl from Aang's time? Katara is it?
It's nice to see her with 3 powers already :-)

re: the repeating, its bizarre that they show it once and fail to repeat it, they've sat on it long enough, you'd think they'd show the heck out of it.
Phoenixrises:
I hope they do show the first two episodes again, but luckily I don't its too late to get into. The first two really just introduced the characters.
pokemaster:
Yes, Katara is the old lady in the first episode. I was surprised when they said her name, I had no idea they'd have any direct link to TLA.
And yes, Katara and Aang had three children, Tenzin the Airbending master being one of them.
Lin Bei Fong is a right ray of sunshine isn't she? Wow.
She gets it from her Mama.
I am curious why Korra is struggling with Airbending in the original series Aang had difficulty with Earthbending because it is the opposite of Air. So since Korra is a Waterbender I would have thought she would have had difficulty with Firebending. I suppose it is because it is the only element we didn't really see "learnt" in the original so they wanted to start there.
I liked that we saw grown up Sokka, Toph and Aang in the flash.
I have just bought the graphic novels to get some more history. For a kids show it really is a fantastic one
The Air Nomads are calm and serene in nature, where as Korra is fiery and never cool headed, that's why she finds firebending easy.
I suppose that is a good enough reason thanks, I thought it was about the nature of the element rather than the character of the person.
I also like how the two brothers are different benders as it shows that the society is less divided its a nice touch.

pokemaster - the real identity of Amon, well my money is on
Which brings me to a question.. where's the series gone? I can't see it on next week.
Digiguide also has an episode to air next Saturday at 9am too

And with it ending on such a cliff hanger too...

I have to say that I'd heard some mix reviews, but I'm loving it. Especially the little glimpses into the past and the TLA cast all grown up.
As for Korra, yes it does seem good, I am enjoying that she has more than one ability :-)
~ pokemaster
It's a fantastic series
At the time I think the reviews were very positive and I liked the Den of Geek ones (1 to 8 listed below since I think you're up to 8 based on available iTunes downloads):
