Oh my cabbages, here we go again. We find ourselves once more confronted with some very confusing story structure choices made in the name of condensing material from six different animated episodes into two messy episodes of live action. 104, “Omashu” introduces us to this version of the great Earth Kingdom city of chutes and ladders, and crams in a lot, I mean A. LOT. of characters and plot elements from across the animated series’ first season, and even a bit from season two. Then 105, “Into the Dark” has the unenviable task of trying to weave all those frayed threads into something semi-coherent. Our individual levels of outrage at the results may vary.
(Not really, though. We’re all pretty outraged.)
NEXT: it keeps going, guys. We discuss the potentially controversially titled episode 105, “Spirited Away,” and the at least partially Konietzko/Di Martino written 106, “Masks.”
