How was it filler? Did you expect them to just jump right to the championship?
The problem, really, is that LoK is too entertaining on too many fronts for a half hour show.
Pro bending is a way to add a lot of action to the show without requiring a contrived encounter with the bad guys every day. Not over-using the true villains is a good thing. The wait between Amon's appearances increases the dread factor.
Plus it fits better in Korra's setting. The world isn't at war. It's been peaceful for a long time. Aside from Triad gangsters things are pretty quiet.
And the romance plot here seems mostly about setting up the team's dynamics and giving them a reason to bond. And unlike what a lot of shows would do, it's not being dragged out. The kids are figuring themselves out and coming to settlements, sometimes within the space of a single episode.
Just noticed...
When Korra gets a penalty and is forced to go back one zone. She waterbends at the judge. It looks like she... creates water from nothing?
That bugs me.

It just felt like a filler episode to me because none of the stuff that happened was remotely interesting. I wanna know more about Amon and the equalists, not who loves who. I was never really a big fan of the pro-bending part of the story either.How was it filler? Did you expect them to just jump right to the championship?
I know Republic City is a big centerpoint of the entire saga, but I really hope we can visit some other places.
1. Good waterbenders can take moisture out of the air.
2. She pulled it from the arena lines.
Does something have to be directly related to Amon to not be filler?Nah, that was pure filler. Sweet creamy moonlight punch filler.
Apparently character development is filler these days...Does something have to be directly related to Amon to not be filler?
This was funny and all but didnt Mako say in an earlier episode that Bolin had "fangirls" there was even a shout from the crowd saying "we love you Bolin". His behavior seemed a little overdone
LMAO Epic!

On a series rewatch could you skip this one? Yes.Does something have to be directly related to Amon to not be filler?

Bryan Konietzko said:You guys have the shipping names all wrong: It’s Koko and Kolin. Love, Brychael.
EDIT: Oh! And of course Mami.
I'll watch both again. Maybe it needs to grow on me.It's about as skippable as the last episode was. Which is not at all.
Appa and momoAm I the only one who wants Pabu as a pet? Goddamn.
Meelo + Asami. That pedo bitch.
Well played, well played. The meta-commentary on the fandom and shipping has been superb, i'll give them that.
Wait a minute. A thought just occurred to me...at the beginning of the episode Mako makes it pretty clear that he doesn't like Korra...but later admits that he does but he likes Asami too? lolwut? Trolling or bad writing? Both?
Take THAT, Bolin-haters. What? You all love Bolin now? Hmph. Real Bolinbros knew he was awesome from ep1.

Seriously though, what did happen to Mako's patented "cool under fire" stuff?
He hasn't displayed that composure since that very 1st game.
Haven't gotten to watch it yet, I usually pick it up on Nick's website. But just so I understand:
Bolin shoots his move on Korra and gets shut down only for her to go and kiss Mako, who kisses her back because he likes her too but doesn't wanna fuck things up so he stays with Asami?
So EVERYONE gets trolled (except Asami who will get trolled later when Mako can't resist dat Korra anymore)? HAHAHA. XD
Amazing.
Wrong. It is far funnier and worse than that.
Boring filler episode. :/
