I can give you reasons to be optimistic about the rest of THIS season:

1) We’re done with sub-par animation.

2) We’re out of the first half of the season, which – if you recall – was slow even in Book One. Remember how everything fell together with Amon and Tarrlock? I think that same things is going to happen in a big way this season.

3) WHERE’S ZUKO?!?!! (I’m going to put this on the looking-forward list too)

4) Grey DeLisle is supposed to be in this series and we haven’t seen her yet, right? 

As for reasons to be optimistic about FUTURE seasons:

1) The love-triangle will come to a definite conclusion, if that’s your thing.

2) Considering what SPIRITS put on the table, we might be in for 10,000 years of darkness if Vaatu wins – if he doesn’t win, something is going to change about The Avatar. Raava and Vaatu are supposed to be connected, this is the first 10,000 year cycle they haven’t been. Stay tuned to find out what that is! My vote is “Dark Avatar." 

3) WHERE’S ZUKO?!?! We got so close to getting to the Fire Nation.

4) Someone’s a-gonna die.
