I've been away from things for a while, but just stopped by to say thank you for writing this! I feel like I'm in a minority both for liking where the cloudbabies story is going (especially the idea that Aang was a good man and father, but wasn't necessarily perfect) and disliking Eska and Desna (and Mako, but that at least comes in waves). While most viewers I've seen find the dynamic between Eska and Bolin funny, I find myself angry at her treatment of Bolin. It's become a horrible cycle of hating a scene between them and then reassuring myself that I dislike Eska because she is being abusive, not just because Bolin is just being turned into comic relief, reading other fans' reactions who are either neutral or find it funny and questioning why I dislike their dynamic all over again.
I do feel like the show is heading in the right direction since the season premier and I'm especially enjoying the focus on family, which was a great part of AtLA. I'm just keeping my fingers crossed.
