From these first two episodes, I feel like Nickolodeon is basically copying the old characters' personalities, which isn't necessarily a bad thing.
Bolin: Sokka.
Mako: Zuko.
Korra: Toph and Katara.
I'm not sure I agree that Mako is modeled off of Zuko, or that Korra is modeled off of Katara. Korra and Katara are both water benders from the southern water tribe, but that is pretty much where the similarity ends. I found Zuko to be far more conflicted, angry, and driven than Mako.
The Bolin/Sokka connection is dead on though

You can't have Avatar without Sokka. (or a Sokka-like character)

Aw man, who was Toph's husband?
And Katara being old creeps me out.
Old characters out, new characters in. Not good.
Also, how did the other die? And the imposing questiob: Zuko's mom, yea, yea... We've all asked for it.
What's so terrible about new characters? I think it would be kind of boring if it was just a continuation of the old one, considering it was pretty much tied up with the finale.

Now that I've seen 3 episodes, I've reconsidered.
I really like Jinora, Ikki, and Meelo. And of course Bolin, the new Sokka.
But about the permanent no bending stuff, I don't believe it.
And Amon's minions won't be as good as Ty Lee.

I can't tell if Ikki is a boy or a girl.

Wow, it's awesome so far! Gotta love Bolin. >w< I also like Korra and her polar bear dog. I never got a chance to watch the original Avatar the Airbender- it wasn't on a channel that I got. :[ But the Legend of Korra is, so I shall indeed watch it every time a new episode comes out.

You can watch the original series on youtube, I think.

same exact thing happened to me. my parents wouldn't let me watch avatar that much because sometimes they talked about kissing and all and my parents are strict. thats why i record every new show that comes out.

Me neither!
I hope they go back to the bending arena. Those are my favorite parts! Episode 2 was my favorite.

Is it bad that I want Korra to end up with Bolin rather than Mako

no, that's your opinion, in which you are entitled to. I thought that so as well at first, but I changed my mind.

I agree. I feel bad for Bolin.
I feel bad for Bolin, as well as Korra at the same time...
