I agree!
I also think that if both Benders and Non-Benders turn from the Spirits, someone in the Spirit world might get restless enough to turn to an orphaned child full of rage.
Either way, Amon is the big bad and I think we’ll be dealing with the apparent lack of Spirits at some point in the series. Maybe Book One is dealing with Amon and once we know about him, we’ll have to wait for the next Book before we learn why Republic City is so spiritually lacking?
As for the gangs, I hope they’re muscling up for an all out war: Metalbenders against Triads against Chi-Blockers. Thing is, we still don’t know whose side Korra would be on in that case, and maybe the next few episodes are her struggling with that choice.
But, yeah, I have no idea, Korra could go full Batman on Saturday, I haven’t watched the leaks and have been staying off Tumblr. : )
