It's hard to love this episode - I will be honest. But it still has its points.
Your entire comment is interesting, but I have to focus on the specific part that alludes to Korra and the world she will be living in - namely, the possible lack of Spirits. I wonder about that. I wonder if the industrialisation of the world automatically means that the spirits of the world would automatically be vanished, or somehow - in some way - they would learn to coexist. I hope it's the later, because the idea of the Avatar world being without its spiritual side is sad to me.
I wouldn't have minded (in fact, I would have preferred) that the episode with Katara and Hama hadn't been so miserable for Katara, and that her moment to shine was in a backwater river town with Doc. But I also wonder if that was intentionally - indeed, maybe it was a sort of way to show both sides of Katara, that ever-good and champion side, in addition to the dark and out-of-control side (which we later see in Southern Raiders). Hmm...
