So I’m beginning to think that the flashbacks Korra was having meant more than Tarlock is Yukone’s son. I think he may have been trying to tell her that the only way to permanently take away bending is from the front, and since Amon does it from the back it is only temporary or not the complete form.

I agree that we were supposed to learn something different. If it’s backwards vs forwards Energy Bending, well, I guess I’d be okay with that. But I want more.

I can’t help but think we were actually supposed to learn something about The Avatar State and how it’s resistant to bloodbending. But who knows. GAH!

Come on Saturday, get here faster!

You guys are lovely. While plenty of my friends watch Korra, there is a dearth of thoughtful Korra discussion in my life, which you folks so graciously provide. Are you still planning on doing updates after the finale with The Promise? Will RCD start a book club?

We’re currently discussing amongst ourselves what we’ll be doing during the off-season and flailing like a man losing his cabbages trying to get some semi-official attention.

We have some good ideas. I’ll write a little about them here if you don’t hold me to them. : )

There will be some review of Korra Book One, almost for sure. How we do that is up for debate. The Promise should be discussed, but the final part doesn’t come out until September, so who knows how multi-parted that conversation should be.

We’d love to do interviews, of course.

And there might even be some A:TLA love in there.

ALSO – I’m warning you now, expect a minor amount of fundraising. Soundcloud costs, if we want to update the site to be more functional, it will cost and anything we want to do above and beyond watching Nickelodeon will likely have small fees (that little arrow the podcast gets on your Tumblr Dashboard? That’s $2 a pop).

I promise it won’t be invasive, and we’re looking for a way to keep it out of the free podcast all together.

OVERALL, though, when we started this podcast, it was mostly a way to talk about Korra. Now, however, we’ve gotten a taste of your addicting fandom and I can’t imagine just giving up the level of engagement we’re getting.

If we get super lazy, we can just do whole podcasts like the Bonus episode where we cull our e-mails, tweets and Tumblr asks. They’ve started piling up into the 100s again. : )

Anyway. We’ll be around. We’re thinking about it. Stick with us after next Sunday.

Da7e, I can’t help it, but every time I listen to RCD, I can’t be help notice how handsome your voice is. There. I said it. Now pardon me while I go blush elsewhere.

Thanks!

I was wondering why everyone found Patches’ voice so alluring. We have alluring voices (work on that, Devindra).

Here’s my gift to our voice-crushers:

-Da7e-

Can we just talk about how awesome it is that the Equalists can’t touch the air benders because they don’t know how to fight them? Think about it – there are only four air benders in the entire world (that we know of) so the Equalists have no idea what their fighting style is like, where their weaknesses are, etc. In which case, it’s clearly super important that Korra figures out how to air bend and fast.

Yes. This is why I didn’t bring up the air bending kids fight on the podcast proper. I’ve seen other comments suggesting the Chi Blockers were kind of lame enough for 3 kids to take the out, but you’re right, Chi Blockers likely ever trained to fight Air benders (or Polar Bear dogs).

Curse that sponge.

okay-hi:

you’ve gone too far this time, spongebob

What? More Adventures In RSS.

Well, listeners, iTunes, once again, has made me it’s…[explicit].

Here’s the deal: We’re all receiving the word that no one can get the #10: Turning The Tides episode off iTunes proper. 

Yesterday, I spent some time looking through the RSS file to see what was going on. It seems to be accurate, at least for episode 10.

And I don’t know what’s making it trigger so the iTunes store doesn’t see episode 10. The most frustrating part is it is there, on my website, waiting for someone to index it.

How do I know?

If you are an iTunes User, here’s how you can get episode 10 right now, even though searching “Republic City Dispatch” doesn’t display it.

  1. Launch iTunes.
  2. In the Advanced menu, select Subscribe to Podcast.
  3. Enter your feed URL in the text box (http://readitordont.com/RCD/RCDFeed.xml) and click OK.

iTunes displays your Podcast playlist, which shows all of the podcasts to which you have subscribed. Next to the new podcast subscription, you should see an orange circle, which indicates that iTunes is downloading your most recent episode. When the orange circle disappears, you should be able to see your podcast title, a list of all the episodes referenced in your feed, and a check next to the most recent episode, indicating that it has been successfully downloaded. 

So that means the XML file is correct and episode 10 is up there, it’s just iTunes that doesn’t know how to list it?

IF YOU UNSUBSCRIBE AND THEN RE-SUBSCRIBE, Episode 10 is also the first to download. AAAAAGGGGGH! It’s there!

I’m going to do all I can this morning to kick the iTunes store into gear for y’all, but if you follow my instructions, you can get it now. Because it’s there. Where it’s supposed to be, driving me crazy.

-Da7e-

MMMMMMMWhatchasaaaaayyyyyyy-

like-parallel-lines:

Because everyone has to at least do this after watching episode 10. Can’t believe I was able to (mostly) use clips just from that one episode. There is some Linzin/Tenzlin in it, but this isn’t meant to be a pairing video; more of a dedication to Lin Beifong. It made me feel sad for her that she watched her former lover with his own family; because she probably wanted Tenzin’s children to be her children too. Even so, she didn’t abandon him for anything less than keeping him and his family safe.

Official Words From Brian

bryankonietzko:

–Wow! Thanks, everybody! I’m really glad you like the art.

–Ha ha, some people just see what they want to see, I guess. Korra is not wearing Mako’s scarf, nor his jacket. Look more closely at her costume, and Mako’s.

–The finale on June 23 is the Book 1 finale (episodes 111 & 112). But first, episode 110 airs this Saturday, June 16! Get the collective body ready.

–We just finished up the mix of episode 112 this evening. Just a few finishing touches left to do on the picture, then that’s a wrap on Book 1. WOO HOO! These 12 episodes took two really tough years to make. I really wish that meant we had a break now, but sigh… (See below). Thanks and congratulations to all the awesome, hardworking people on the Korra crew!

–Book 2 is happening, and is 14 episodes long. No, I don’t know when it comes out. REALLY, I DON’T. But no, it won’t be another two years from now, as we are already in production on it (that’s the brutal thing about TV, the schedule overlap). So all I can say, and it is the honest truth, is that we’re working really hard on it!

–I’m hungry.

My initial reaction?

“Does this mean Mako is going to get naked and tell Korra to wear his clothes?”

What was your reaction?

Is Korra going under-cover? Is Korra joining the United Forces? Is Korra just wearing Mako’s outfit?

-Da7e-

Youtube user   made this after listening to our latest episode. I know Patches just linked to it, but HEY NICKELODEON, we’re making better teasers than you are now. : ).

IT CONCLUDES NEXT SATURDAY 11AM ON NICKELODEON. 

BE THERE.

WATCHING.

-Da7e-

This week’s references to The Dark Knight Rises have listeners riffing non-stop! After the awesome “Amon cracking Korra” image, dinoccom created this Amon montage set to the haunting TDKR Bane score "Deshi Basara" and listener dylgio unleashed his long-gestating mash-up of Korra and the TDKR trailer (see above). So cool.

Q&A with Mike and Bryan!

It’s a korranation Q&A! :

Hey, Korra Nation! This coming Friday, co-creators Mike DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko will be answering questions from Korra fans! 

Leave your questions below or tag your post with #AskBryke and your question could be answered.

Here’s ours: Which TV and film villains have you drawn inspiration from for Amon’s character?

6/27/2012

I’m Amazed!

Hey! I found bill-rinaldi ’s blog! He works on Korra basically (seemingly?) doing the job I talk about on this week’s episode (making up cool fights). He has this neat bit-o-info about “Out of the Past”:

That none of you have figured out the voices for the Two Chi-blockers that find the empty tram car, one of who is referred to as the sassy chi-blocker.. I thought you guys would be freaking out..

Any clue?

EDIT: It’s not Me or Sifu Kisu…

It’s Bryke!

Bryan and Mike…..

And of course Bryan is the sassy one…

And by of course I mean he would love to play that character, not that he is sassy..
