They did not forced them to do a clip episode, they slashed the bugdet of almost the cost of 1 episode. So it was either let go a bunch of people earlier than expected or a clip episode.

Oh how i wish Nick would just give the publishing rights to the Avatar franchise to someone else. You know, preferably someone who'd actually give the creators the time and money they not only need, but actually deserve.
This episode actually makes me think of the LoK video games in many ways: Little to no budget, comparatively little time to put anything together, yet the talent and efforts of those making it made sure there was still just enough redeemable features to get over the fact that the product is essentially made from string and twigs.
I fucking hate the way Last Airbender and Legend of Korra have been treated, because they are both really good cartoons. I've actually been rewatching Book 1 lately and it's so painfully obvious in the animation quality that the budget took a nosedive in the later seasons because Book 1 was still reminiscent of Last Airbender, but that's almost gone now. Hopefully they've been saving some of that money for the final fight so they can give us the finale we know they're capable of.

While funny, I still don't get everyone's hate for season two. I thought it was really good.bigfatcarp93 said:
OT: For the first 10 minutes of this episode, while watching, I was basically saying "FUCK THIS EPISODE" because I genuinely hate Mako with a fiery passion and the focus on the worst episodes of the series in his flashbacks are just more shit piled on that. Once again, Varrick is the saving grace of the episode and continues to be the best part of the entire season thus far. Yo, Nickelodeon, can we get an OVA or mini-series of just random pointless Varrick Adventures? Not asking for a while series, just something short and sweet for funsies.
I don't HATE Season 2, I just believe it's not as good as the others. Unalaq is boring, some characters act more like jerks then they need to, Lin is stupid, and we have to put up with those two FUCKING ANNOYING detectives.SilverUchiha said:
