I would have expected by now that Tenzin would have been completely aware of anyone else in his family being able to spirit bend. If you recall, when Korra first told him what she saw, Tenzin directly stated, "that's impossible, Avatar Aang is the only bender who had that power." He either lied to conceal a family secret (I also hear there's a future episode titled "Skeleton in the closet") or was genuinely in disbelief that it happened.

Now I wonder if the fire mobster who scarred Amon's face and murdered his family was in any relation at all to Fire Lord Zuko?!

All in all...I love this series so far.

I forgot about that.
I never watched Avatar until it was all on DVD. So I could go back and rewatch things. This it's hard to keep track of things that happen three, four, five episodes ago when that's approaching only five minutes of story a month ago.
But then, Amon could also be lying about that.

As for Zuko... I'd honestly be surprised if any sort of bad guy (mob bosses, what have you) have any relations to Zuko or Azula. Why? I think making the badguys of this series related to the badguys of the last series to be a little too on the nose. So I don't think the writers would go in that direction.

This series is just so different from Avatar! Avatar was very straight forward, and very point a to point b. There was very little mystery, and little to speculate on.
But Korra is shrouded in mystery, and only seven episodes in we're already seeing nothing is what it first seemed to be.
There's lots to speculate on, lots to really consider. Lot's of fun stuff!
There are a lot of really great shows that I feel like I enjoy more as I'm watching them (Thundercats, Young Justice), but that's an instant gratification. With Legend of Korra, I'm not as anxcious to get to the latest episode... and I don't enjoy it as much when I'm watching it... but it's Korra that I spend the most time thinking about when it's not on. Korra is far more satisfying. And I find the characters far more enjoyable in the long term, too.

There's not a single character in Korra that I don't like. Many I were luke warm to at the start are now favorites of the series (Tenzin continues to get more and more interesting), and some, like Lin, are threatening to become absolute favorites for the entire franchise.

And I *love* Probending. I wish that were a real sport.
