Avatar: Seven Havens - Book 2: Discovery

The official series description is straightforward enough: "In Book 2, entitled ‘Discovery’, Pavi continues her chakra journey to the Floating Isles and learns more about what happened to Korra. Meanwhile, Nisha discovers vital information about the mysterious spirit energy Pavi released from Ellora. The girls are brought together in New Ba Sing Se, along with all their unresolved issues."

Furthermore and like Book 1, Discovery consists of 13 episodes released over four consecutive Fridays, the specific dates being May 21 through June 11.

I cannot say I agree with this accelerated release schedule as, unlike Book 1 which introduced Seven Havens and had to keep ahead of the haters, now the series is established and beloved; the final emotion owed almost entirely to the characters of Pavi and Nisha. Simply put I think three episodes per week, with four for the Finale, is too fast; we should be able to enjoy the cliff hangers and uncertainty. I think two episodes per week would be much better since, having actually done the math, it would stretch it to six Fridays (with three for the Finale).

Anyway, I cannot wait for season two and, to offer my own fan theory, I think the Cataclysm blocked the World's chakras and that is why fewer and fewer benders are being born. Judging by the official description, I would guess both Pavi and Nisha learn various different pieces of the spiritual and historical puzzle on their respective journeys and put them together in New Ba Sing Se. Which, by the way, makes me very nervous. Why? Because the old Ba Sing Se gave Aang and Korra both nothing but trouble, courtesy of the Dai Li, and New Ba Sing Se presumably being the sight of yet another Season Finale suggests that tradition will continue for Pavi and Nisha.
