not any more so than korrasami.. the mako/korra moments were all pretty platonic in my eyes.
I also found it interesting that when Mako was like “what do you need?” There was no closeup, and no lingering frame like there was for KORRASAMI scenes. It seemed like a buddy adventure to me. And it makes sense narratively speaking to have a cop taken her to Zaheer. Soooo meh.
Despite the clear lack of Korrasami in this episode…it was actually pretty good. Korra is back! Mako is still an idiot if he feels that she can just forget what happened to her though. I admire that they wrote it in that she will probably never be over it…but she accepted it…and that’s an important healing process!
because babies don’t have object permanence, that baby believes those balls are being destroyed from existence and created before his very eyes. if you thought that too, you’d likely have a similar reaction
lol what an idiot

I feel that Wu did an amazing Job of painting just how big if an ass Mako really was. (So did his grandma and his cousin.) I really don’t feel that he even came to terms with it himself though. He was still defending his behavior, and then sort if, kind admitted that he was an ass…. But I still don’t sense that he is sorry.
I don’t feel that Makorra will never return again, he was like “korra and I fought together as FRIENDS…” and they also elaborated that they don’t think that “they work” as a couple. I do support them as a Brotp though….
ENTER KORRASAMI oh my God… Asami is so in live with Korra it hurts. She thought she was cold. She brought her tea and ENCOURAGED HER BAE so well! She didnt invalidate her feelings, but built her up in a healthy way. She didn’t push her to love herself, but shared how much Korra has helped everyone around her. My shipping heart!
I just really feel that KORRASAMI is implied right now. I mean they could have used this budget in a totally different way. Korra could gave spent this time with Mako… They could have rekindled their last together….buuuut they didn’t!
And then Varrick happened…. Totally random, but it was funny. Seeing giant bolin Korra was so silly. X3
All in all, it was okay given the circumstances…
at least now we as a collective fandom get to redirect our anger back to the people who truly deserve it

A few preemptive words about Episode 408, “Remembrances”…
In a couple hours the eighth chapter of Korra Book 4 will be released online, and I suppose, if you are none the wiser, a few minutes into it you will feel duped and yell at your screen, “Hey! This is a crummy clips episode!” And that is (almost) exactly what it is––except we all worked really hard to make sure at the very least it isn’t crummy. I’m here to explain why we ended up having to do one. Sometime around a year and a half ago we were similarly duped on a large scale. We got the news from the higher-ups that our Book 4 budget was getting slashed, almost to the tune of an entire episode’s budget. We had two options: 1) let go a significant number of crew members several weeks early, or 2) make a clips episode. We never considered the first option. We weren’t going to do that to our crew, and even if we were callous enough to do so, we never would have been able to finish the season without them. But having grown up on TV in the ’80s and ’90s, we all dread clips episodes, where characters sit around saying, “Remember that time when…” and leftover footage is reheated for no one’s enjoyment. Anyone who suffered through TNG’s “Shades of Gray” knows what I’m talking about.
Anime fans know this is a common occurrence in Japanese series as well. In fact, as Mike hung his head in disappointment at our fate, I remembered how one of my favorite anime series, Samurai Champloo, made what I thought was a really awesome and clever clips episode. They mixed about 5 minutes of new footage in with the old, and set up a context where the characters would be reflecting on past events while narrating over them, offering new insights or at least providing some humor. I pitched this angle to Mike and he agreed this was the best way to turn this big old lemon into some lemonade.
Back on Avatar, we had something that functioned as a sort of clips episode, though it was all new animation and really hard to make, Episode 317, “The Ember Island Players.” Our heroes went to a play where they saw themselves and their tales performed by actors on stage. It was simultaneously a reckoning for the characters before they headed into the denouement, and a lighthearted romp where we got to poke fun at our own show before things got really serious in the remaining episodes. Korra’s “Remembrances” ended up serving the same function, albeit with old footage instead of a newly animated play. There is about 5 minutes of new footage, wonderfully animated by Studio Mir, and a bunch of funny and touching narration from the characters. There are also some fun chibi heads and other treats in there to spice up the old footage.
What started out as a reluctant chore ended up being a really fun episode to make, and in the end I truly love it. Mike did an awesome job directing it and storyboarding all the chibi hilarity, as well as overseeing the wonderful script by Josh Hamilton, Katie Mattila, and Tim Hedrick. Joaquim Dos Santos, Ryu Ki Hyun, and Lauren Montgomery drew fantastic storyboards for the new footage (particularly Lauren’s insane Varrick posing). Lots of other folks worked their tails off on this one, namely Amaris Calvin, our animatics editor; Christie Tseng, our character designer who drew and colored all of the final chibi art; Matt Gadbois, our After Effects editor; and Chris Hink, our final picture editor. Last but not least, Aran Tanchum and Vinny Guisetti on foley, Benjamin Wynn on sound design, and a stellar new score with all your favorite hits by Jeremy Zuckerman. And plenty of other fine folks I’m forgetting!
So now you know what it is and why it happened. I hope you do end up enjoying it after all, especially as a last lighthearted, nostalgic romp before POOP. GETS. REAL. And then the series is done.
Love, Bryan
Hmm I just said something like this! Haha and DAT KORRASAMI

I don’t understand the frustration with a clip episode… ATLA did a recap episode, (although it was a bit skewed and silly) and everyone loved it. We are nearing the end, it may just be tradition you know? Not everyone will have had the time to rewatch all the episodes… It’s nice to get reminded! So…be nice!

i really can’t see that happening now, i think nick is just enjoying torturing us. if it was actually happening i doubt they’d tweet all about it
I feel that masami will return… JUST in flashback form… It is a recap after all. mako will probably just talk about how his “relationship with korra” evolved and then devolved.
When Korra says “There is no place I’d rather be.” AND SHE’S LOOKING RIGHT AT ASAMI. :D
A friend of mine posted a photoset on FAcebook about a little water toy that he glued wings on to. He titled his photoset “A Baby Whale with Wings in Precarious Situations.” It was too cute not to draw.
