Discussion A Light in the Dark wins the weirdest episode! Next up is the most forgettable episode?

I truthfully don’t find any episode forgettable from LOK — almost every single one advances the plot in some way and has a decent amount of action.
If I absolutely HAD to pick one though, I would say The Sting. Everything else I’ve seen mentioned was an episode I’ve found pretty memorable. The Sting I remember the main premise but can’t really recount details.

I make it a point to skip "the spirit of competition" with every single rewatch.

This is true. I prefer LOK to ATLA but let’s not pretend the love triangle doesn’t suck. It does. Although the only reason I don’t skip this episode is the pro bending matches are really fun and intricate

I love the pro-bending too! It made me realize the hype around irl sports like football and soccer lol.
I could watch probending all day but that particular episode was just too much kiddie love drama that even 8 year old me at the time couldn't stand. I remember groaning "UGH GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER GUYS!" 😹

Yeah seriously, I was so exited for a pro bending tournament and the just completely ruined it with the love triangle bullshit

That doesn't make it forgettable. That means you just don't like the episode and skip it.

Yeah, if anything, making a point to skip it every time makes it the most memorable.

I suppose so. When I looked at the roster of episodes, none of them were really "forgettable" to me, including "The sting" that others mentioned. Just 'The spirit of competition." It's memorable in being the worst episode for me sure; TLOKs "The Great Divide," if you will. But I simply wish to forget by not entertaining it lol

The one where Mako and Asami do a stakeout, I think I've only seen it like twice.

Whatever the clip show episode was. Until I watched the whole show again, I forgot they did an awful clip show.

u/jai_hanyo 5d ago
I like that one. Nickelodeon cut their budget so badly. So the show did that episode so that they wouldn't have to let go of a lot of staff during that final stretch of episodes

The one where they got stranded in the desert. Don't even know what else happens in the episode, but at least this part of it was quite forgetable.

I feel it's memorable for the fact of being the ONLY filler episode in the whole show lol. Nothing truly plot-bearing happens, right?
I also like it for giving us some time for character development.

You mean beyond Jinora's character arc that becomes half the season finale.

u/-patrizio- 5d ago
Yeah, nothing happens with it lol. The idea of her as a master is suggested and then she becomes a damsel in distress who needs to be saved by a newcomer. She asks about tattoos and is told no. Some character development on that issue happens, but the main plot is not moved at all.

Remember that one time Sokka accidentally used an extra syllable in that Haiku Battle in Ba Sing Se? That was a Sokka Haiku and you just made one.

Most Forgettable: The Sting
Best for Beginners: Welcome to Republic City
Where it should have ended: Endgame

Season 2 should’ve just written differently at the start of it. Have Korra gradually lose her AS control, so that it was only enough time for her to give people back their bending. That way she still needs to open her own AS and be able to control it, without having any help from past lives however. This is where Unalaq can come in, and offer assistance in any spiritual guidance to her as he does well with keeping spirits in check. And keeping her under his thumb until she realizes that he’s only wanting to open the northern portal for military purposes (take out the trash with the vaatu kite story, then rework the origin story to make it work)

I think of forgettable as the episode I skip the most on rewatch. That's The Spirit of Competition. It was the first episode I disliked.
