Well, I've made up my mind on who best character, best ship, AND character who is most like me are! Answer one is Bolin, answer two is Bolin/Pabu, and answer three is "dead", because it is still Sokka! Let's dive right in.

My reaction to this episode in a nutshell.

This episode was... okay, I guess. Part of it is that, contrary to popular belief, I am only 13. I've never had a crush on someone, much less gotten involved in a complicated love triangle. Therefore, I can't relate. And I've never been a shipper. The biggest ship I advocate is Iroh/Tea (OTP FOR LIFE), followed by Zuko/Honor. This isn't my kind of episode.

I do like how they did the framing with the "team huddle" thing, though. Bolin smiles and glances to Korra, Korra smiles back but shifts her eyes to Mako, and Mako coughs awkwardly until he sees Asami. That is good and efficient staging. This episode also does a very nice job using the metaphor of the team's gameplay to reflect their relationships. Very clever.

Also, Bolin is adorable as always. The way he says "You know what I'm talking 'bout, Pabu, I'm talking 'bout real love" makes me laugh and smile every time. He's just SUPER LIKEABLE. Appa still beats Naga any day, but I'm starting to think I like Pabu more than Momo. Can you imagine Aang without Momo? Yes. Is it possible to imagine Bolin without Pabu permanently affixed on his shoulder?

Eenope.

Still, going directly against your brother's orders is not cool, Bo, and asking out Korra was what set half of this mousetrap into motion. I guess I do like seeing the two of them together though. They really complement each other's personalities, much better than Mako and Korra do. And that's as far as my shipping preferences go. And besides, Bolin's personality complements everybody.

Of course, Korra is an idiot and decides to Makout with Mako (please don't hurt me) even though she very well knows he already has a girlfriend... right in front of Bolin, who breaks down into tears. The dramatic impact of this scene, however, is ruined by another great meme from the LOK fandom:

There's also one of Korra and Asami kissing and Mako being like "Wat"

Seriously, I have never encountered a fandom with such a high density of good memes before. Anyways, Bolin, who was previously being awesome and responsible (!!!) goes and gets himself drunk on noodles. I love this show sometimes.

Korra realizes that she's ruined basically everything, and pulls herself together and wins the match for her teammates by using strategy and airbending-style waterbending. Oh yeah, there's characters other than Bolin in this! Everybody patches things up, Korra uses techniques from Katara, and we all hope that we can plz get back to equalists and conspiracies again. Also Bolin.
