To be honest, all of this speculation really just looks to me like people over-thinking things by a lot. Amon is probably an entirely new character, he doesn't have to be a throwback to something we saw during TLA.
So far I've heard:
Aang's son, the kid Zuko saved in that one episode one time, Jet, Sokka, Cabbage man, Cabbage Man's son, the real Avatar, Ozai... Basically every fucking obscure or unlikely character possible.
It's not something to ponder, it's not even based on any hints at all. Our knowledge of Amon is so vague that speculating based on it can't lead to any narrow conclusions and when I could say, "It's Momo in human form" and have as much of an argument for it as "That kid Zuko saved that one time" or "Jet"(who was confirmed dead) then it's pretty pointless to speculate.

Amon's identity is pretty obvious. He's clearly

Nah uh. He's obviously + Show Spoiler +Korra herself, basically when she's awake she's the Avatar, but when she's asleep she doesn't know it but she turns into Amon. How they manage to be in the same place at the same time is a fucking mystery but I'm sure it can be explained, we just don't know it yet. Have you ever seen Batman Beyond's movie? Basically the same storyline. TLK just ripped it off. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Batman_Beyond:_Return_of_the_Joker#Plot

Mordiford's totally right here guys...
...Amon is clearly Momo in human form! I can't believe we missed it! We even saw in the one episode of TLA where Momo was bipedal and had a human level of intelligence:
+ Show Spoiler +
He secretly hated benders the entire time Team Avatar was dragging him around the world, and after Aang died Momo was just a horcrux or two away from getting a human body to exact his revenge!!

Korra is Tyler Durden, and Tyler Durden is Amon.

totally agree.
i was just joking but u gave a awesome explanation

So I finally got to watch the new episode. Sorry if it has been discussed in all of the pages already, but did anyone else pick up on Amon's tone this time? He was much more dogmatic and almost religious. He spoke of more than just balance and equality, but said that he "cleaned them of their impurity" and called it "an unnatural advantage."
I am not sure if it means anything, but I just found it interesting. He is talking more like a prophet than just a revolutionary in this one.

It probaby does mean something. No one mentioned this afaik.
This kind of thinking is what puts him on the extremist side...
He's not just saying that its unfair and its BS (which it totlaly is. If I was in that world and not a bender I'd be so sad  ) but he's going as far as calling them 'unnatural' and 'impure.' It's really not far from 'abomination' and all that shit. They must be cleansed!

So...Tarrlok seems like a pretty shifty guy. Do you guys think he has some, yet unseen, involvement with the equalists, or is it just something to misdirect the audience and his manipulative and suspicious character is merely a result of being a political mover and shaker?

I thought he might at first, but now I am thinking that he is just more and more a shifty politician. We will just have to see though as everything unfolds.

Before I guess about Tarrlok, I have to ask something about him:
- What does he represent? Like, the other four seem to be representatives of nations, Tenzin less-so because of a lack of air nation, but he has other important connections to Republic City.
So who exactly is Tarrlok? Is he one of two water tribe councillor (north and south?) or just a water bender who rose to elected politician? Basically I wonder: how did he get on the council? What's his history.
Looking forward to more episodes on people's pasts tbh. It's something LoK has been avoiding I think on purpose so pasts can be released bit by bit (like the Tenzin + Lin connection).

I think Tarrlok is just a shifty politician.
Amon planned from the start that the probending match would still continue, despite his threats.
Tarrlok and the rest of the Council members wanted to stop the probending match.
If Tarrlok was involved somehow, he would have pushed to continue the match from the beginning, despite the threats. The match only continued after Lin Beifong gauranteed everyone's safety.
The reason why Tarrlok changed his mind was because of something else. Tenzin mentioned how ambitious Tarrlok is and how Tarrlok is playing Lin. Probably just a move for his own personal gain.

Yeah, he is the representative from the Northern Water tribe...apart fro that, we just don't have a ton of info about him yet.

Do you guys think that it would be a good idea for me to marathon the original Avatar series and then watch Legend of Korra or just watch Legend of Korra now and the original Avatar series later? My friends are giving me a lot of flack for not watching this show.

should be better if you watch TLA first. It's a pretty good show after all.

You should watch the original series because it is awesome but so far there really isn't anything that you NEED to know from the last air bender. There are some references/jokes that you won't get because you haven't seen it but nothing that is part of the core story.

I liked Legend of Aang a lot, even if just occasionally I wished it could be more adult so we could avoid some of the cheesier kid stuff and, ya know, maybe someone could actually die in this damn war. But it's actually so genuinely good that I can brush that aside.
I was nervous when I heard about this new show but I genuinely think they've done a good a job as possible of finding a balance between elements of the old show and a new feel.
So far I think Amon is a pretty good villain, he's not wholly unsympathetic. The only character I miss is Zuko, his story was by far the strongest in Aang imo.
Some queries;
Can the metal bending police force earth bend? Surely they can...regardless they're awesome.
Are the slow-mo bits in some of the action sequences really necessary? Sometimes they aren't even done well and it looks odd.
I wanna find out what's going on in dem flashbacks. Seems to me that Amon will have some links to Aang if not necessarily the original series.
