The Legend of Korra

I don't think Tarloc is Amon, i think the 2 of them are just opposing extremes. Tarloc is amazingly pro-bender while Amon is pro-non-bender.
Also Amon is masked and mysterious, a deadly threat through violence, while Tarloc is a councilman and a public figure who uses non-violent means but can be just as deadly and evil.

I like that there are 2 villains, i would be rather disappointed if Tarloc DID turn out to be Amon because i think the idea of having 2 completely opposite villains surrounding Korra and her allies on both sides makes the situation more dangerous.

Now about the episode:

 Spoiler

Such an awesome episode, the new team avatar is kick ass, and i love Asami, she's quickly become one of the coolest characters.
I always get the creeps when they talk about BloodBending. the fact it can only be done during a full moon makes it even creepier for some reason. i loved the episode where Bloodbending was introduced in the original series, the way Katara broke down at the end, it was such a dark and unexpected turn in the story. Having bloodbending back and used by a more prominent villain is awesome. I wonder what it is about Tarloc that makes him so powerful, it's strange.
