Expect Delays! But take this prompt!

News, RCD Fans: news. It’s neither good nor bad, just is.

This week’s podcast will not drop until SUNDAY due to some scheduling conflicts.

But fear not, we will not abandon you this eve of the ‘shipping-est episode of Korra yet.

So – give us your opinions on this prompt and Da7e will jump in tomorrow (Saturday) in between Korra’s airing and the podcast going up:

The Legend of Korra is going to take a hard turn into relationships, which is much more fitting knowing this series is about Korra’s teenage years and her coming of age. The Avatar: The Last Airbender romance was scare and slow boiling, so how much did the creators (Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko) PLAN on driving ‘shipping fandom crazy with these characters? Keep in mind the nature of animated television means this season was finished before the fans even knew what a Makorra or Masami was.

You can contact us by going to our ask page or e-mailing us.

Good? Good. See you tomorrow and we’ll get all deep into Episode 5 “The Spirit of Competition” on Sunday.
