I thought the spirits were going to do something to Kuvira when she ran into the spirit jungle. That would of been more interesting for them to get their revenge on her for fricking up the tree and using the vines to power her weapon.

I thought that too, but then I remembered the spirits said they weren't going to get involved.

But since we're not coming to an agreement with whether it was a cop out or not, can we all agree that Viacom pussed out on showing this on cable? There's always been something suspicious, and I always thought it was the ridiculous violence the Red Lotus brought to the table, but I now have to ponder if ending the show with the main character in a lesbian relationship wasn't the reason. I think Viacom knew they could still make money online and with DVDs, but they didn't want kids watching it for fear of parents flipping their shite. They definitely set up this series to fail from Season 2 onward and gave it the worst slots imaginable in order to justify it's cancellation.
