The best guess is April/May, but we've had no date and no idea what their production timetable is. If the waits between ATLA seasons are anything to go by, then it'll be done when it's done.

Great post, fabricated backlash.
I don't think this is necessarily the case: we didn't really get to see much of the impact that the events of the final episode had on Republic City and the antibenders since the episode quickly cuts away to Tarrlok's death and then Korra et al down in the Southern Water Tribe. I won't be that surprised if they try to sweep all of the antibender stuff under the rug in Book 2 (I will be disappointed), but I think they left plenty of room to come back to the issue and deal with the aftermath of antibender tensions in the wake of Tarrlok's deception.
I don't think they know how to deal with it, so I doubt they will.

The 1st DVD coming out May 21st (and the art book in July) should be huge hints. The season will surely begin before the DVD releases (perhaps even the weekend before).
EDIT: Amazon removed the DVD's release date. Either it was a mistake or it wasn't suppose to be known yet...

I hate running into the elitist for the avatar series. I liked korra for what it was and the story wasn't the best but its still good. Honestly I only liked korra and the airbender family and lin. Everyone else wasnt as good. Especially mako guy was a jerk he shouldn't end up with anyone.
Hurry up and get back on my screen, Korra!
EDIT: Might as well try and get some discussion going, since this is my first forray into this thread. What did everyone think of book one? Specifically, what did everyone think of the ending? I'm assuming that we can post spoilers untagged at this point, but just in case I'll cover my thoughts up.

It was mixed for me. The revelation that Amon was using bloodbending was a bit of an anti-climax in my opinion. That said - this was probably my own doing than anything else! Early in the season I had a theory that Amon had gained the power to remove other people's bending from Koh, the Face Stealer, and so any other explanation was always going to be disappointing. It seemed to make so much sense though! Amon was wearing a mask because he was faceless!
I felt like Amon's 'death' (if he did actually die) was a little underwhelming as well. He was built up all season long as some near godlike bender, and while I appreciate him dying at his brother's hand...I don't know - it just didn't seem like a fitting ending.

This is terrible and you should be ashamed for posting it.
I'm not the only one sick of Harlem Shake, right?
Untagged spoilers are cool for anything that's been broadcast in the US, as per the OP, so yes, go for it!
As for the meat of your post, I was surprised at Amon being a bloodbender. I too kinda secretly thought he was given his power by Koh, and it would've been cool to bring that character back to the show (Book Two, please!). And Amon's death? Perfect. I had no problems with it whatsoever. To be honest, I'm more shocked that they killed him outright rather than letting him get away (to return in another season), or having him lose his bending at the end of it. Maybe that last one would've been too similar to ATLA, mind...

lol holy crap
Care to share? In spoiler tags, of course. I don't really care for the comics so I might as well just read the spoilers...

Well since you asked for it...
Big spoiler:
Zuko isn't Ozai's biological son. All the Book 3 symbolism and Iroh adages about "cleansing the sins of our fathers" are now meaningless.

It could be misdirection of sorts.
Zuko didn't get the information directly from Ursa but from a letter she wrote to him. Nor was it explicitly stated in the letter.
Zuko supposedly was still fully convinced so...

Heh. Fucking really?
That's what kills me.
It just pisses on the original theme of the final season.
It doesn't add anything, but it damn sure detracts from it.
The show doesn't give ONE hint or seed that this development could logically spring from.
Shit like this makes me angry. Why? That is the only question needed to be asked.

Man, I'm sure glad Avatar: The Last Airbender ended in 2008 with no future series or comic books shitting on its legacy. It's nice to have a creative property just end before the creators mess it up.

This reminds me of mangaka in Japan or American Comic Book writers who write in "SHOCKING" retcons and plot twists that served no real purpose.
The fuck? That can't be true.

And this is why Korra S2 won't be any better.
Fine but there will be a lot of fist shaking if they muck it up.
