They're news shorts, in the style of actual news shorts run before silent films. The narration is done in the style of old radio news broadcasts. It seems completely in line with the quasi-20's Gilded Age styling of the show.

Korra needs to become more spiritual, learn airbending, and adapt to the realities of society after living a sheltered life. Bolin's earthbending isn't rigid enough, also he's kind of a man-child(naive, but in a different way that Korra). Mako and Asami need some more development, stat.
After Bolin vomited the announcer started advertising flamio noodles.
Everybody we've seen fight so far has been terrible.
Lin and Tenzin haven't fought yet.

Well, we are hearing that Republic City has a lot of problems. The triad is led by benders (or I guess WAS led by...). Hell, I think a vigilante Korra - Mako - Bolin team fighting the Triad would have allowed us to see some bending action along with the same kind of character development.
You mean like in S1, episode 4 where the Kyoshi Warriors beat him and we get some nice comedy and then he goes to see if he can learn from them?
But Suki did fall into his lap.

Not sure if anyone follows spill.com but they put an audio interview with Janey Varney (korra va) up recently

Thiiiiiiiiis. I'm still waiting for a really awesome airbender battle. Aang only used kind of boring moves. I want to see air blades damn it! AIR BLADES!!
I somehow doubt that Tenzin is going to be any more bloodthirsty than Aang was.
I can see Korra doing Air Blades. Am I the only one that wants to see more avatars that go against their homelands' ideologies? We already have Korra who doesn't seem to be very waterbender like, I want to see an aggressive airbender, calm firebender, and a more "light" earthbender.
Already got 'em.
Who? Jeong Jeong is the only calm firebender I can remember, don't know anybody who's a light earthbender.

Iroh is pretty calm.
Can't believe I forgot about one of the greatest characters in Avatar. Yes Iroh also fits this criteria.
Haven't seen enough of them in an actual fight, probending doesn't count, to make this assessment.
Talking about fighting styles.

As for light Earthbender... I thought Xin Fu was rather agile when he fought Toph.
Can't unsee how the rose suddenly disappears/he eats it.
Man, I saw this in the related videos... endlessly amusing http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-LDNlgznLVs&feature=endscreen
I don't remember this guy.
The guy running Earth Rumble VI!

Amazing.
Somehow I think Tenzin will be like Aang. However, the longer they put off showing someone but not having them fight, the bigger the badass people expect them to be. To be fair, I think that Tenzin will kick some Equalist ass, but only in defence.
I imagine Amon will perceive airbending as a big threat, since his Equalists probably don't have a defence against it. I reckon he may attack Air Temple Island and try to take away Tenzin and his children's bending, which would make it even more difficult for Korra to learn the skill.
It's one of the greatest animated shows out there so there's certainly no harm in doing that.
Also it makes you understand the mythology and bending and stuff better in Legend of Korra.
He likely won't be for the most part, but I have a feeling that if the Equalists threaten his family, he'll unleash beast mode.
I don't think so - I can't even imagine him using Aang's trademark air ball technique. He'll probably be less mobile, but can dodge like a champ and toss his opponents around with powerful air blasts.
And if Korra doesn't have her bending stripped away by Amon at the end of this season, then it'll totally happen to Tenzin.

Tenzin will just unleash his kids...
Come on that would be awesome
Yeah seeing a bunch of Airbenders all bending together would be pretty badass. But that wouldn't happen. :/
I think Korra's response to that nose-rubbing not even 5 minutes in the episode summed up my reactions.
Seriously though, that was fucked up on Korra's part. But that's enough about that subject from me. Episode was pretty good, ESPECIALLY the Bolin tiebreaker.
YES!
I want a Bolin Pro Bending Tee and I want it NAO!

That GIF is the greatest thing to come out of anything ever. I'mma use it for everything.
Alright but I don't remember how he fights.
I'm glad I'm a late ATLA fan then. I never even heard of shipping before this thread. I had to unfollow the Legend of Korra tag on tumblr because of all the plethora of shipping people were posting.

I kinda expect this to happen. We know that the Avatar can physically manifest their previous lives as Anng did both Roku and Kyoshi. If the attack on Air Temple Island does take place I should hope to see a really pissed off Korra/Anng.
Air Temple Island has the Order of the White Lotus guards besides Korra and Tenzin
