Legend of Korra Book 2 new episode titles and speculation [SPOILERS]

To add to the post below speculating on today's episode, the names of Episodes 9 to 12 are, in order, these-
  • Episode #9: The Guide
  • Episode #10: A New Spiritual Age
  • Episode #11: Night of a Thousand Stars
  • Episode #12: Harmonic Convergence  
The Guide, I suppose, refers to one of three characters - Jinora, Wan Shi Tong, or that Phoenix-like creature Korra is seen riding in one of the trailers. Good bets would be on Jinora since she looks like she's entering the Spirit World with Korra, but I wouldn't discount the other two just yet. 

A New Spiritual Age somehow reminds me of Light Yagami's "God of a New World" ramblings - anyway, the New Spiritual Age is not likely to turn out too well, given that it's Unalaq's idea and Unalaq isn't an especially good guy. 


Night of a Thousand Stars reminds me of Isaac Asimov's Nightfall - in which an occulation causes a planet in a system of multiple suns to finally see the fall of the night. The title somehow suggests that either the sun and moon have been removed from the equation, or "star-spirits" are at work. Beats me what they're aiming for here. 


Harmonic Convergence sounds like whatever Unalaq was planning - unlocking the north and south Spirit Portals, but what might turn up from this harmonic convergence? This gives me a bad feeling. When the A.T. Fields of the Mass Production Evangelions resonated with that of Lilith in End of Evangelion, everything went further down the road to hell. If there's a "harmonic convergence" of that sort, it's not going to be the good kind. 


The two-part final's titles have been kept a secret for now, but it leaves me wondering just what they have in mind here.
