As someone who found Season 1 decent but not up to the original series, and Season 2 somewhat disappointing, I'm less than enthusiastic about the other two seasons, and what I've read so far has done little to disprove that. Do you(WilliamsonK, the author of the liveblog and anyone else who would like to weigh in) agree with this perspective on the two more recent seasons of Legend of Korra?

We'll he's right about one thing. Don't think that our opinions are clear cut answers about the quality of the series. This is true. This is only an opinion.
Plus I already explained why I feel that Seasons 1 and 2 isn't as good as Seasons 3 and 4 in terms of storytelling. So I won't even bother unless someone asks.
Please explain what exactly I am nitpicking because I am still working on that. I really don't see what I nitpicked in this episode because these are legitimate flaws.
"And that's just silly so because of brief fart joke which is eye rolling at best, you're going to rant about the entire series being a disappointment? That is such a petty thing to get worked up over."
-When the heck did I mention anything about fart jokes? Like seriously, when? My beef with the Airbender kids isn't just the fact that they make bad jokes, my BEEF is that they make bad jokes AND took up most of the screentime in this episode. They serve no purpose besides being comic relief in trying to find Korra.
"I'm starting to see why you guys don't comment on the thread. You complain about things nobody cares about and you make mountains out of molehills."
-No I point out legitimate flaws because nothing is perfect regardless of how good it is. And I only recall pointing out a few flaws in the past episodes anyways.

If you haven't left and you still wish to know my opinion...I find Season 3 to still have flaws but is otherwise a major improvement from the previous seasons in my opinion. Season 4 seems to be even better than Season 3. It Improves on its characterization and storytelling and is better than any of the previous seasons as a result. Regardless of what happens later on, these episodes will stand as a sign of improvement.
So yeah, give Seasons 3 and 4 a watch but just warning you, this episode is one of the weaker ones.

And also don't try to justify Dues Ex Machinas in the original series, that you simply showing your biased.

Those are some interesting comments all around. I'll consider Season 3 by the time it comes out on DVD, but my enthusiasm for Legend of Korra is still fairly low.

I am not biased first of all. I just simply think that this is a weaker series compared to the original.
And the Deus Ex Machina's didn't interfere with the development of the characters. At the end of season 3, Azula's still insane, Aang saved the world, Zuko wants to know about his mother, and him and Aang are both leading a united nation.
In the Legend of Korra at the end of season 2, Tenzin tells Korra that she needs to depend on herself and find power inside herself.
Cue her turning into a giant spirit monster out of nowhere and going on to fight Vaatu. It completely defeats the purpose of that statement.
See what I mean now?

I watched episode 5 of season 4 and I must tell you that once you get past season 3 (which is still pretty good halfway through), you will get a slew of great episodes.
Williamson K:
"As for what Nostalgia critic said: Bryke can apologize all they want, but seasons 1-3 happened (I'm counting season 3 as polished feces, though polished it still felt like a huge waste of time). Season 4 came too late to save the show in my eyes and it has only just started. That is further punctuated by the tarnished quality of this episode and it's hand in interrupting the flow of good to semi-good episodes we were enjoying."
-Well I think you may be excited to hear that the Airbender kids aren't in episode 5 for long and is a really good episode as a result.
"Yes, I can be really harsh on Lo K sometimes, but it had a tough act to follow and didn't deliver in my opinion."
- *cough* until season 4. *cough* Season 3 was good but not as good as Season 4 *cough*
"As for Ryochi's commentary, he's displayed far more patience and fairness for the show's quality than I have so reserve your anger for me."
-Usually, I wouldn't take credit for this because I don't want to seem like a jerk. But yeah, after what happened in Seasons 1 and 2. I've been pretty patient with this shows quality. And i'm glad I did.
"But I have recently become beleaguered by this Jihad, having a laundry list of things to do on my plate and (as some of you will no doubt be relieved to hear) I plan on hanging up my kepi and scimitar, bothering only to check in on the odd occasion. So farewell and Happy Halloween. Thanks for putting up with me, Ryochi."
-No problem. Hope you get back on soon and Happy Halloween to you too....oh wait its November....
