* Korra will probably take care of the Equalists during the six-month time-skip between seasons. If Aang could master all four elements while traveling around the world AND put end to a hundred-year-long war in the span of eight months, Korra should be able to resolve a dispute between benders and non-benders in six.

Yeah, no. It\'s a funny injoke, but not the place for it.

*** Why? Katara is prescient and knows that Katara's going to face Yakone's progeny that Katara doesn't know exists? Yakone was a past threat who was gone and dealt with, who hadn't resurfaced in any way, shape, or form for 40 years. Even if Katara expected Korra to go to Republic City to police it, how could she have expected her to need that information?

**** Also, Katara wasn't even present for Yakone's trial, and she might have been too busy dealing with Kya and Bumi's antics to pay attention to Aang telling her about his exciting day at work taking down the psychic bloodbender.

* Amon, like Tarrlok, is someone who's always been in control and really can't handle it when he loses that control. He's not holding an IdiotBall so much as Korra's uncovering of his origins, the suspicion of his most loyal followers, being forced to show vulnerability and weakness (ie. the fake scar) to regain their trust, and the embarrassing loss of the airbenders on-stage in front of an audience of thousands all come together to drive him to the point of utter desperation (and, due to his personality, lashing out with vindictive cruelty). He only gets more desperate as the fight drags on and he loses even more control of the situation due to his growing recklessness (first when the Lieutenant shows up, then when Mako electrocutes him, then when Korra regains her airbending, and finally when Korra overcomes his bloodbending to kick him out a window); by the time Noatak wakes up drowning, there's nothing of the cold and calculating Amon left.

* Another possibility is that Amon had to figure out how to block each form of Bending individually, and since he'd never encountered an Airbender before, he hadn't learned how to block their abilities yet. This leaves us with two possibilities for Tenzin's family: 1) He expected to have plenty of uninterrupted time in which to figure out how to block their abilities, or 2) [[FridgeHorror He was planning to straight-up murder them]].

[[folder: Meelo dispatching five Equalists in the penultimate episode.]]
It's been a while since I've seen the episode, but from what I remember Lin Bei Fong was in trouble, and the kids saved them. OK, that would be [[BigDamnHeroes pretty funny]] if it weren't for the ridiculous, eye-rolling amount of MookChivalry in play there. Meelo leaps out of nowhere, farting in an Equalists face, he moves on to the next one... slowly. Then he slowly moves to the next, and so on and so forth. The problem is the Mooks had a good five to ten seconds in which to react and they literally just stood motionless and waited their turn. Yeah, I know seeing a baby take out one of your comrades is shocking, but they had more than enough time to register the sight and think "hey, maybe I should move before this flying baby farts in my face."

*** In all those other instances, there was one thing going for him that he did not have here: he was conscious. "Fireball coming, better look badass," is what he thinks when he's making his grand exit. "Oh shit, drowning, waterbend," is what he thinks when he wakes up underwater and unable to breath. Context.

News flash: People who are just jolting into consciousness after being hurled out of tall buildings and into freezing cold water usually do not, in fact, have the presence of mind to analyze and account for every possible consequence to determine the statistically favorable outcome.

[[folder: Amon is holding an IdiotBall in the finale.]]
So, when Tenzin, Korra and co. escape, Amon goes after Korra. Without any backup. Alright, I guess that isn't too bad though I'd have expected better from him. So then he... bloodbends them. In the middle of his base. Which leads to the Liutenant finding out he's a bender. OK, then, that was pretty stupid but I guess he had no other choice. And then he debends Korra and is knocked out the window when she [[DeusExMachina spontaniously develops airbending powers]]. And this is where the real stupidity starts. Amon JUMPS OUT OF THIS WATER ON A GIANT PILLAR OF WATER IN FRONT OF EVERYONE, EXPOSING HIMSELF AS A WATERBENDER. Yeah, his mask got knocked off. Why didn't he just put it back on? Or swim away? That water was deep enough that no one would notice him swimming away, and Korra was powerless to stop him, being unable to airbend water and all. I'm sorry if I sound upset, but I really expected better from a great character in a great show written by some great writers.
