My god, that episode was amazing.
Eh, it was good and it finished extremely well, but I have some major problems with it.
1. The whole "reigning champions are only that way because they CHEAT" concept is a huge cliche in sports stories, and frankly it's
beneath these writers to use it.
2. OK, I can accept that Amon would
somehow sneak himself and a few troops into the stadium, but I find it really hard to believe how easy it was considering how thorough Captain Bei Fong was in inspecting and guarding the stadium.
3. On the same note, I can accept that Amon and his troops would find a way to sneak
into the stadium, but if you look at one of the last shots of the episode they
also completely trashed Captain Bei Fong's Metal Benders and their blimps stationed outside. Just how incompetent
IS this police force?
On a side note, I
strongly suspect that this was all a trap orchestrated by
Tarrlock to discredit and take down Captain Bei Fong. He's probably in league with Amon...somehow...to take over the city, and I suspect he'll be betrayed by Amon somewhere down the line.
