    Oooo, yay!! I wrote the second one down on my holiday list :D

    The last one I saw was the one where they fought the princess and her two friends off from the Earth city.

    What really excites me most about this is the world that's been built up. I can't really describe why, except that my fantasy-loving mind just can't get over it :D

    Saw two last friday. Is Jek really dead??? That would be so sad!! But if KItara gets together with the prince . . . I think I'd laugh :D

    Also, why is the end of the season in December? Are they still going to have the show on after the new year? Is the date of the season finale this coming Friday (the first) or is it the next (the 8th)?

    I think it's this friday, an hour long season finale.

    What do you think the next season is going to be called: Fire or Air?

    It will be fire.

    The avatar cycle is Water, Earth, Fire, Air.

    IIRC Season 3 will start sometime late spring.

    My pet theory is that Zuko (with some assistance from Iroh) will complete Aang's firebender training....

    I like that theory :D

    And, speaking as a teenager, that kind of romance is perfectly normal (except if you go to a school where are the boys are mean :( ) and in fantasy (at least, in the books) people tend to get married younger (think Middle Ages in Europe).

    Okay, this weekend. What time? I need to tape it at a house that has cable . . .

    I was thinking that too. Zuko has been going through some changes and probably next season he will be a bit more relaxed and forget about his honour being restored. Atleast im hoping he does.:p

    As Aang is the last airbender surely he will have to train new airbenders or else there'll be none left to train the new Avatar

    ^^ That would likely be part of the plot of Book Four: Air.

    If I were to hazard a guess, Book Three: Fire will end with Zuko teaching Aang and helping to depose Fire Lord Ozai. Book Four (assuming the series lasts) would have Azula as the primary villain, or perhaps the Fire Nation splits, and there are two factions, one led by Zuko, the other by Azula....

    Thats sounds right to me. Azula will never come around, she has in for Zuko and Aang.:p


    Well if he is the last then hethere are no more unless he has children in the future.[face_thinking]

    112yrs old is his clock ticking.:p

    I'm finally catching up on Avatar episodes I've missed, currently watching "Bitter Work".

    Loving Iroh's comment to Zuko about Azula of "no, she's crazy and needs to go down".

    I totally love Toph, she rocks. Pun intended.

    "Well if he is the last then hethere are no more unless he has children in the future."

    I don't think the bending talent is necessarily genetic. There may well be all manner of folk who have the potential to be Airbenders, but there's no one to teach them.

    Just saw most of Tales of Ba Sing Se and Appa's Lost Days back-to-back. Momo's Tale was the very touching, especially after learning just how close he was to finding Appa. Also, did I understand correctly that Iroh's son died during the seige of Ba Sing Se?

    Nice homage to Digital Underground and rapper Humpty Hump during Sokka's Tale:


    My name is Sokka
    Pronounced with an "okka"
    And ladies, I just rocked 'ya

    My name is Humpty
    Pronounced with an "umpty,"
    And ladies,
    Oh how I'd like to bump thee

    It's fun to do that rap with names.

    That's right my name's Twinky
    it's pronounced with an Inky.
    and boys, I'm not stinky.

    It so works.

    For your edification!

    While there is a questionable genetic component behind bending, there is a heavily spiritual one. According to the creators, every air nomad was a bender. As the societies grow though bending becomes rarer as a percent. My guess is it's roughly like this.

    Iroh's son did die during the seige, however the exact sequence of events is unknown. From flash backs, I would assume he broke through the walls, his son died, then he lost heart and was pushed back out.

    Also, for anyone interested, the first 2 minutes of the Guru is up on TurboNick Click buzz, then click on Aangs face.

    Happy Zuko is creeping me out.

    I really love the character development in the Avatar. I think its the best i have seen in a long time. Iroh seems lazy but he is much wiser than Zuko gives him credit. Also i love Sokka the player. He seems to meet girls in villages and falls for them easy. LOL Appa's Lost days was great. He went through alot during his journey and im sure we will see more of it next season too. Poor Appa.:(

    Is Azula just an evil little firebender. She has no remorse. Hey does anyone know what happened to Zuko and Azula's mother. I think i missed it. Was she killed or just taken away from Zuko for protecting him?

    What exactly happened with Ursa and the rise of Fire Lord Ozai remains a mystery. Several equally plausible possibilities present themselves and my assumption is that Zuko will spend the next season finding out and then leading, perhaps a traditionalist revolt against his Father's Fire-centric world view.
