I'm thinking that Varrick is more than meets the eye.

Perhaps, but what does he gain from this? By contrast, Korra's uncle has a lot to gain from a "rebellion," and heavens knows this isn't the first time things have worked out for him in a pretty convenient fashion.

I don't think Varrick is more than meets the eyes. Execs like comedy to sell to children.

I don't think Varrick is the big bad, but I also get the sense that there's more depth to him than he presents. He's already positioned to be representative of the South's spiritual decline, and (although I don't blame him) seems to put the interests of his company first in this conflict.

I still say comedy. But, we're still early, 9 episodes left.

He makes for good comedy, but that was already Bolin's territory.

My initial impression of him was Cabbage Merchant, only with more lines and not quite as awesome. I'm not sold on him being the villain. Half of me thinks it'll be some evil spirit (KOH!), but the other half isn't sure. I mean, the book is called Spirits, but it does seem a bit strange to have an evil spirit villain, unless it's one we've already met.

I just want to see Koh again.

I personally think Korra released something that was sealed. This is the reason why I think her uncle is being manipulated. We'll see more when they talk about the first Avatar.

Yeah that's what I want to see, how does Wan get dragged into this? My thought is that things escalate so much between the humans and the spirits that Wan calls out to her and talks about how things were similar right before he became the Avatar.

This actually creeped me out and now I feel really bad for Bolin. lol!
