Aang's removing of Yakon's bending looked a lot like what Amon does (as opposed to the first showing of the skill in the original series). He so is a bender. Wonder where he's hiding his turtle.
Lol @ the preview btw. "They'll fight for what could be the last time!" There's your season 2 for you.
Nope, they consistently look different. Both times Aang did it, he did it face to face with his thumbs on the forehead and chest/heart. Amon is always behind his target, with one thumb on the forehead and his other hand holding their neck. There's something very obviously different about the method. Also of note is that both times Aang debent his target, they didn't pass out and look feebly weak afterwards, whereas nearly every target Amon debends like Tarlok looks almost unconscious after they're debent. so the second chi point he's hitting is different, and it might even be possible that what he's doing is reversable, unlike aangs method.
I have no idea what the implications are, I just know what Amon does and what Aang did are not the same. What comes of it is for the story to tell me -- for all I know what Amon does is permanent.

I don't think I'd be wrong in saying that the show would be really fun if everyone was Asami.

Ok I checked just because I'm feeling like nerding it up and MLG is on break. Amon is actually not always behind his victims and at least 1 point (forehead) is the same. Still not convinced. Wouldn't be surprised if that's how she beats him in fact, as Aang was almost overpowered first time he tried it as well. But again we'll see.

Because he has taken the bending of police officers now, it's not certain if the good can fight bending removal.

Just caught up, watched about 6 episodes in a row.
My running prediction was that Amon was Torrlak but apparently not. But Asami being him I can't believe. Still think it's going to be earth-shattering (no pun intended), this series has surprised me multiple times. More plot twists than a Shyamalan movie.

^The spirit of Aang after his death was unsatisfied with the world so he possessed the body of a mortal and went around as Amon. seems plausable
|
^that doesn't look fake but uhh.
|
If u look at the finale preview it looks like Korra and makko are being bloodbended by Amon btw

I was more referring to the light show vs Ozai. I appreciate your attention to form I guess, but that seems a little weak to make it a wholly different thing. We'll find out I guess. I still think there's a turtle. There's always a turtle.
lol'd at the last sentance.
Every one of Meelo's scenes is awesome. "THIS BETTER BE IMPORTANT!"
I wish I knew what that 4chan image was.
and Cyborg theory is crazy and weird... I like it.

It is fake. That was from weeks ago and was released as a "spoiler" and quickly confirmed as fake.

Same I feel for Asami. Korra is behaving in a very unavatar way.

People on reddit are joking that Katara is Amon. I mean damn. She must be just trying to prepare the new avatar by becoming the avatar's enemy. *GASP*

Honestly I think badass Lion-Turtle spirit from TLA is super mad and has transformed himself into a human to purge the world. Amon is solved! 
|
I think Asami is probably a manifestation of Korra's mind so that she can be with Mako when she thought he had rejected her initially. Now that Mako likes her, Asami will just vanish. Obviously.

I was a little disappointed that Tarlok got taken down so fast T_T

Amon tries to take Korra's bending, but in doing so messes up the spiritual block on the forehead chakra. Korra goes rave mode and Amon gets tomped.
Korra proceeds to undo the stolen bending to the noncriminals, makes cuddly time with Mako, and Nick gets it's happy ending for season 1.
I'm really looking forward to the reveal on Amon. All my possible guesses are gone. The only theory I have, and oldest, is Amon is telling the truth and got his powers from Koh. We never see Amon blink, I think, so who is to say the eyes are real?
EDIT: As a side note, I'm surprised at some of the people in this thread. Do they really need to explain why Yakone found out how to bloodbend without a full moon? Honestly, a lot of bending advances are taken on blind faith. Why would Toph be the first to learn how to metalbend? Why was Yama the first to bloodbend? Sokka said it best. With bending, things don't need an explination, sometimes they just are.

People think Asami is amon.....come on........ After this episode, assuming Asami was with Tenzin and the others the whole time then that's impossible... of course they are the same person if you remember amon said that he wouldnt take away korra's bending and then didnt even capture her or anything but during the episode asami became very jealous of korra and also in that episode amon wanted to capture korra when he didnt want to before how do you explain that huh Because to come out of the gates with his Equalist movement by removing the AVATAR's bending would turn Korra into a martyr and potentially doom the Equalist movement? The Equalist movement is at a phase where removing the Avatar's bending is less harmful to the movement as a whole. That is how you explain why Amon's actions and Asami's emotions are not due to them being the same person. Ugg, I tried my hardest but even with no punctuation (I actually put an apostrophe in korra's) or capitalization it's not obvious enough T_T Anyways, I did not think they are actually the same person. Sorry for the inconvenience.
LOL ya too many ppl bought onto that it was funny though...i really needa work on my sarcasm too lawls...

Haha these discussions about amon's identity are so lulzy now. Only good writers can make their fans have such a good lulzy time xD
Anyways, is it possible maybe that amon takes their energy or something, and hence continues to grow stronger ;O
|
Naw guys its totally obvious Amon's an alien for sure, here to cause infighting between benders and non benders to weaken earth's forces against the pending alien invasion in season 2. And obviously there will be a random 4 year time skip between season 1 and season 2 (if u get my reference )
Btw, on a more serious note, that picture of Aang has already been disproven for anyone who srsly was confused by that -_-
