Watched entire series. Good action and excellent characters are the lifeblood of the show. It's also very creative and has a fun sense of humor. My primary critique is that the writing on the last few seasons feels uneven and disjointed. Its like they swapped writers and didn't hand off good notes. Not a "Game-of-Thrones-like" disaster but still a wobbly last few seasons. Despite its flaws, I'm glad I watched it. If you liked Korra, I'd also recommend this show.

Maybe I'm the only one who feels this way, and people probably won't even care what I say - I really, actually liked this show: it was engaging and had a great story line. It took me and my brothers and even more parents on quite the ride. But that wasn't the only reason I liked it - the other reason, for me, at least, was because I thought we'd finally found a show that steers clear of any controversy or political correctness - it's sole purpose was just to give a great story and entertain people, and not to cater to any given group to try to up the popularity or social approval, like so many other TV shows. Then I was proven wrong, and with my favorite character, too. Kind of ruined the ride for me. Rant over.

So I was 13 when I watched this episode and I was finishing s6 on my birthday with my best friend (I'm a Christian btw) and when I saw allura die that was depressing cause my favorite character was lance which mad me cry. But then I saw Shirt kiss and MARRY another guy and that really upset me! I love this series but COM'ON!! not a good way to end a movie!
