Season One’s second book of Nickelodeon’s “The Legend of Korra,” the sequel series to “Avatar: The Last Airbender,” premiered on Friday after fans had waited well over a year since the first book’s finale. I was unsure if Book Two would introduce a quality plot after the uprising in Republic City had been so nicely wrapped up at the end of Book One, but after watching the back-to-back episodes on Friday, Korra’s new goal of connecting with the Spirit World looked promising.

            The first book introduced the new avatar, Korra, as a very opinionated and independent girl. She’s the type to focus on strength rather than reflection, so her difficulties with learning how to airbend came as no surprise as it requires the greatest spiritual connection. I’m hoping that her interactions with the Spirit World in Book Two will have more of Korra learning to control her strength and anger through meditation.

            Korra’s rage was something I could barely stand last season, so I was disappointed to see little change in regards to that part of her character in Friday’s premiere. She was constantly overreacting to Mako’s attempts to be helpful, not to mention she was unbearably rude to both her father and her airbending trainer, Tenzin. “Calm down! They’re just trying to look out for you!” I yelled at my television at one point.

            Despite Korra’s anger management issues, there was still plenty to enjoy from Book Two’s premiere. Bolin’s comic-relief is always welcome and I’m excited to see how Future Industries plans to get back on top with his help. I’m also looking forward to the development of the new characters introduced, especially Eska, voiced by Aubrey Plaza, as well as Tenzin’s siblings, which will hopefully give fans glimpses at some beloved characters from the original series. Most of all, the twist at the end has me eager for the rest of this season.
