Nice catch on that one.

I feel like out of all Aang's kids, Amon was the only one without air bending or water bending talents...but Aang secretly developed and taught him Spirit bending with strict guidelines on never using it unless absolutely necessary. What could be more necessary than losing faith in your own father's justice system he worked so hard to maintain when your family is killed by fire bending
gangsters? Taking matters into your own hands by taking away their most lethal weapons makes sense at that point.

Definately makes sense.

Anyone else notice how Amon has taken the powers away from pretty much everyone who's attacked or crossed Korra so far? Wonder if that's more than just a coincidence?

Any other show, any other creators I'd say that's just a coincidence. But with Avatar? Who knows.
It works both ways. If he turns out to be Aang's son, I can't think of a reason for him to protect Korra like that, but then we don't have all the facts, and he's also obvioulsy mentally disturbed. So sometimes it doesn't have to make sense. It's the reincarnation of his father, after all.
On the other hand, all the people who crossed Korra, also crossed Amon as well. So we might also be looking *too* deeply at this.

Either way, this plot is a lot more fun than TLA. While I love that series more, this one is more fun *after* the episode. Rarely does a series make me think so hard about it's plots and where it's going. TLA, we all pretty much knew how it'd go down long term. (It was obvious from the start Zuko would become Aang's firebending teacher)
