Let me make a brief confession. I downloaded and started watching episode 10 of Korra thinking I was on that episode, when in actuality the last episode I watched was episode 8, so basically, I managed to spoil an entire episode for myself! Therefore, the fact that I was still buzzed as hell watching the episode is a credit to it! Legend of Korra really is quite good at topping fantastic episodes with even greater episodes.

It has taken the Straw Hat Pirates and the Franky Family nearly ten episodes to get from the main entrance of Enies Lobby to the courthouse… Really puts things into perspective!
