The rest of book 3 after tomorrow's single episode is entirely online:

Wow. I don't even watch, but Nick really messed up. They are reminding me of Fox right now.

Well, that kinda sucks.

Wtf Nick? Really? They finally get their footing story-wise and now this?

Just gonna start hoping someone picks the series up after Nick gets it cancelled.

Wow, were the ratings that bad?

Yup. They should have moved it back to Saturday morning. The ratings were pretty damn good but since they moved it to Friday nights, the ratings plummeted. Didn't help that they barely advertised the move.

True. Your core audience, kids and teenagers, aren't going to be around watching television at eight o'clock on a Friday night. Plus, after two less than stellar seasons, I've been reading about how people have dropping the series left and right.

Shame. It is a fun series. No where as good as the original but still worth watching.

Exactly. Especially during the summer. Who thought that was a good idea? Plus, they don't rerun the new episodes anymore. They used to show the new episodes on Nicktoons a day or two after the premiere on Nick.

From the few episodes I'd seen this season, it definitely found its footing. It was a vast improvement over the past seasons. So kinda bummed about this.

tumblr already saying nick conspired to ruin the ratings because they hate female poc leads enough to kill a lucrative show about one

Considering they were hesitant of a female lead, it's not that far fetched to me BUT They've been sabotaging this franchise since the beginning.

DA

They did pretty well with the first season, but yeah, after that they fucked up with handling the rest of Korra.

How did they sabotage the franchise from the beginin

Oh, please. The way Nick handles ATLA has been messed up all the way back to Book 2, when Lake Laogai premiered on nick.com a week before it was due to air on the actual channel.

And that doesn't even compare to Book 3, that aired its first four episodes alright, then had episodes 5-9 air in Canada or Britain first, and then had episodes 10 & 11 leaked online, and then had episodes 12 & 13 air in Britain or Canada first, and then had episodes 14 & 15 come out ON DVD FIRST, and then had the entire finale spoiled three months earlier by a 20 page children's picture book.

[/you-kids-these-days!rant]

Haahaaha oh wow that sounds like a marvelous fuck up! I never paid attention to the fandom, or the show's news, until a few years after the finale, so I kinda wish I was around around to see the disgruntling.

Same.

I didn't watch the first show until November 2011, seeing how much I missed makes me sad

Don't worry. That mess paled in comparison to the ship wars.

It was kind of awesome because the majority of us just took the eps as they came, but also sad because we essentially never got a single "initial air date" for people to chat about real time. And yeah, it sucked for the people who really wanted to wait until Nick officially aired thing.

Especially for stuff like The Western Air Temple, which leaked in mid-December and still hadn't "officially" aired until mid-July.

Overall things were too bad though until the picture book leaked. Most of fandom was fine watching eps whenever, because they were still eps. But the book was essentially a plot summary with none of the fun or excitement of an actual episode.

A large number of us actually migrated over to a new community atla unspoiled, and then stayed in that little bubble-wrapped spoiler free zone for three months and avoided the rest of the fandom as a whole. Come to think of it, I'm AMAZED that we didn't any trolls. As much as people go on about how TERRIBLE the Avatar fandom was back then, it was a pretty considerate and nice group.

I rather miss it.

Don't forget the insane wait for the beginning of season 3, despite it being ready. To compare, season 1 ended in December 2005, and season 2 premiered on March 2006. That's reasonable. Season 2 ends December 2006-- season 3 premiers late September 2007.

That sorta sucks now that I feel like the series is picking up, like peablossom said. Not that the first two seasons weren't really fun to watch, but I feel like this one has been building up even thanks to those two. I wonder if I should be expecting an ending left hanging if it ends up cancelled or (ew) hope it's standalone.

Though i also wasn't watching the show on TV anyways.

Wow, that really bums me out. LoK isn't perfect but it's pretty much one of the only good/interesting shows that Nick has left.

Was there a Book 4 in the making? Would this mean it will be cancelled?

Mike said on his facebook that it would still continue.

I hope it does. I'm not ready to see this series end yet. Thank you.

...So this season's episodes haven't been put on their website like the last two seasons, but now they're going to only show the rest of the episodes online.

Wow, excellent job, Nickelodeon.
