Spoilers
------------------------------------
There are a large number of people (myself included) who wish to watch the show as as unexposed as possible, we have the following spoiler policy:
Spoilers are considered to be all media which hasn't been aired in an episode. This includes trailers, promotional images and any related media.
How should I present spoiler media?
All spoiler media should only be linked to with a bolded spoiler warning. If the actual URL has spoilers in it, just hide it behind some text. Important: Do not use IMG tags for spoiler pics.
Examples:
1) Here's a spoiler video!
2) Here's a spoiler image!
(In both examples I've not used real spoilers, so click away!)
How should I present text spoilers?
Obviously use the spoiler tags, but be sure to state outside of the spoiler tags, as vaguely as possible, what the spoiler is about.
Examples:
1) Episode 3 spoilers:
Amon can firebend?!?
Korra and Bolin kiss! LOLz to you shippers!
(Again, in both cases I've not actually used real spoilers!)

Introduction

What is this?
Only the sequel to the best animated series Nickelodeon has ever produced and arguably the best animated show of the past 20 years: Avatar: The Last Airbender.
Really?
Absolutely. But don't just take my word for it, Here's some other people saying "it's good" in fancier words than I can:

You get the idea.
So how do I watch it now?
Update: Currently, the entire series is available on Nick.com
It's available in it's entirety on Netflix, itunes and Amazon Instant Video (Book 1, Book 2 and Book 3) if you want to catch up. You can also purchase the DVDs online or from your local retailer.
So am I going to need to watch the original show to get anything out of this?
While watching the original show is recommended (seriously, it's great), This story is still largely self-contained and should be completely accessible for anyone jumping in fresh.

Summary
------------------------------------
Korra takes place in a world where some people are capable of controlling one of the four elements (Water, Earth, Fire and Air) though the use of various martial arts techniques. These people are called benders. On top of that, there is one person in each generation who can control all four elements. This person is the Avatar.
Taking place long after the events of The Last Airbender, the world is at peace. The medieval styles of Avatar have been replaced with an industrial revolution theme, with a jazzy soundtrack. Benders and non-benders of all nations live in harmony in the recently created Republic City, although there is an organisation in the shadows set to change that...
Korra's Crew
Yeah, it probably wasn't a good idea to claim the OT and be on a blackout for this show...
Korra is the Avatar and the Main character of the series. She has already know Water, Earth and Firebending and is in the process of Learning Airbending. I could go on, but all you really need to do is look at that picture to see that she is awesome.
Mako is a Firebender living in Republic city who befriends the Avatar. Just looking at him, he's probably the calm, brooding type that fangirls will drool over.
Bolin is an Earthbender, Mako's brother and fellow friend of the Avatar. He's most likely the boisterous, comic relief type and based off that alone he's my favourite already.
Tenzin is the son of the Previous Avatar, Aang, and is teaching Korra Airbending. Wise master with

Special Thanks
------------------------------------
I'd like to thank Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko, because without them this wonderful universe wouldn't exist.
I'd also like to thank Nickelodeon for having FANTASTIC online security.
Most of these images were shamelessly stolen from the Avatar Wikia. but not hotlinked, I'm not that lazy.
And then a fancy team action pose to finish the thread!
