For those who don't know, it's a somewhat continuation of Avatar: The Last Airbender.
For those who don't know what that is, then nevermind. Don't read this. You likely won't understand it. D;
A water tribe girl named Korra is the new avatar!
And etc. Not gonna bother summarizing because if you're still reading this you should know what I'm talking about!
I say somewhat continuation because it's not the lives of our original gang. It's 70 years later, like 2 generations after. Aang's son Tenzin already has kiddies of his own! Jinora (eldest), Ikki (second girl), and Meelo (son). Jinora's my favorite of the three. I like mellow characters. ~ Though Meelo is a hoot.

Amon and his henchies scare me, but they're supposed to. They are the bad guys after all. Though, I sense a more serious stuff with them. Like in ATLA, the bad guys were the firenation, and they weren't all that scary. They were just intimidating and fierce and such. But in LOK, the anti-bending guys seem......... really seriously scary. o__o; Hopefully younger viewers won't be scared. Derp. I might be. HRGH.
MAKO AND BOLIIIIN are great. I love them already. Amazing bending bros. Mako is my favorite because again, mellow characters, but Bolin is such a cutie!

MAKO APPRECIATION
Why am I always so drawn to firebenders when fire terrifies me?!
I am really hoping for some history on what happened with our original gang, though. I love them all too much to be forever wondering.
MORE SPOILERS --
Katara obviously married Aang and they had 3 kids. Eldest (Kya) is a waterbender, youngest is an airbender (Tenzin). The middle child (Bumi) apparently is a nonbender, but I always thought he was a waterbender too. So far, Tenzin is the only one of Aang/Katara's children to have shown up in the series. He is quite a prominent character too as he has to be Korra's airbending master.
Sokka is gone, as Katara says in episode 1. :( Sads everywhere. Katara also says "many" of her friends are gone, not all, which gives some hope that we may see others from the first series.
Suki was Sokka's lady. I wonder if they had a bunch of kids. Seems like the type of couple that would. XD For some reason, I have this feeling if anyone else is alive, it'll be Suki? I don't know why. It's just my feeling lol.
The great and mighty Toph has a confirmed daughter, Lin Bei Fong, who is head of the police force in Republic City. There is a statue of Toph there. Whether or not Toph is gone as well is unknown. (But seriously, she was the YOUNGEST. It makes the most sense for her to be alive!)
Also my sister thinks Lin Bei Fong also looks like Jet, so we're like lol THAT'S WEIRD. But if I recall, Jet died in the Earth book I think. So no possible father for Lin yet. It's not like Katara would let Jet near Toph anyway. XD
Azula's fate is unknown?? Was she imprisoned or what. I don't remember.
Zuko was firelord obvs, with Mai as his lady. Whether they had kids or not is still unknown. Mai seems sorta like the type who wouldn't want kids.
Ty Lee joined the Kyoshi Warriors in the Earth Kingdom... I want to know what happened to her the most, since she is/was my favorite character from ATLA! ;3; Especially in new Korra clips, some of the anti-benders are shown using Ty Lee's chi-blocking-bending-disabling style. Except of course, Ty Lee did it better & faster. She could disable bending in like 1 hit, and these anti-benders look like they're taking a couple hits to do it.
We'll see.
ALSO I AM. TOTALLY BUMMED KORRA EPISODES COME OUT ON SATURDAY MORNINGS, MAN.
THAT'S WHEN I GO TO CHURCH MOST DAYS.
LIFE'S NOT FAIR. :(
I have a headache now aghghhhh goodbye---------
