Sorry, that "Spirit world resolved" question was directed at Lottel. The season seems to be shaping up to be about family, but it needs to start letting its characters have conversations with each other and do things. You know, reflecting on it, one of the things that seems to be bugging me is that Korra seems to be passive this season. All of the adults around her are the ones making decisions and hatching plans while she just waits.
The first series of Avatar was always good about having a goal for Aang and the Avatar crew, giving them reasons to keep pushing on and flying around the world. Even the first season of Korra gave her mysteries to solve and the drive to go out and do them. This season, Korra just seems to hang around until an older character tells her how to deal with a situation. Korra needs to get some oomph in her.
