The Legend of Korra reached its season one midpoint this weekend, and what a season it has been so far! Many have called the latest episode, Chapter 6: And the Winner is..., the best episode of the series. The show as been earning high ratings and critical acclaim across the board, and it has been pleasing old and new fans alike. Each episode is packed with action, humor, character development, and beautiful animation. Book 1: Air has been a great success so far!

A little less excitingly, it has been announced that Korra will take a short break on May 26th, Memorial Day weekend, and will be airing a repeat episode instead of a new one. It will likely return with a fresh episode the following weekend. Rumors were that this coming weekend would bring us two episodes back-to-back, but those rumors have been squashed. Chapter 7: The Aftermath airs on May 19th.

UPDATE (4/4/12): The first two episodes have now been released for free in HD via iTunes!

The first two episodes of The Legend of Korra have debuted online via Korra Nation! The series won't make it's television debut until April 14th, but Korra Nation announced the other week that if they got 100k likes on Facebook, the premiere would debut online early. And so it has!

The first two chapters, Welcome to Republic City, and A Leaf in the Wind were combined into double-length premiere episode, and it is absolutely spectacular! I believe the new series exceeded expectations -- which were high. It has lovable characters, a superb premise, great action, spectacular music, and a wonderful sense of humor -- all while being a bit more mature than the original series.

If you haven't had the chance to see the premiere yet, I recommend dropping what you're doing and head over to iTunes right now to check it out!

In case you thought my use of the show's title above was just shorthand for the full title, think again. The show's title has been shortened from The Last Airbender: Legend of Korra to simply The Legend of Korra. Much better, no?! Check out the new trailer by reading the full story below:
