    TT you may be comforted to hear this, I emailed someone associated with the show and asked them to ask Megan Casey to post a high-quality version of the NYCC S3 Finale Trailer (sans the squeals) on TurboNick.

    Hopefully Casey will throw us a bone and actually do it.

    The very same that, arguably inappropriately, made fun of our waiting for new episodes?

    Yes one in the same.

    But who knows maybe she thought better of it afterwards.

    Sometimes when people are nervous they say stupid things. This was the first time she addressing Avatar fandom at large.

    Besides I know she could tell we weren't happy by it because everyone politely laughed but that was followed by a huge, collective sigh. LOL

    Like 'Heh heh heh, you're soooo funny Megan'...followed by...'Ugh, do us all a favor and stop talking.'
    sheesh, if i was there i would've slit her throat then tounged the blood as it dripped out.

    Yeah if she's smart she won't make that mistake twice.

    If nothing else, she will realize it was not helping.

    Well there were some who were close to booing and hissing her, myself included, but I bit my tongue and thought about how Mike and Bryan would have reacted to that. I'm sure they would have been mortified.

    Why punish them for Megan's insensitivity to fans?

    Again it always goes back to Mike and Bryan...

    Yes, I would also greatly appreciate seeing a non-screaming version of the trailer.

    Basically it was
    Sokka: (turning toward Aang) Of course you are. That's 'cause you've got to fight the Fire Lord, (extreme close shot of Aang's horrified face) the baddest man on the planet. And you better win, or we're all done for. (The camera pans left to reveal an angry Katara standing up and turning to Sokka)
    Katara: Sokka, you're not helping! Except, that made us laugh and Aang wasn't laughing. Somewhat the same concept.

    Nods and smiles.

    Exactly.

    I don't see why everyone's so annoyed with her comment. If I'd been there, I would have laughed, actually. I really don't think she has any say in when the episodes air -- the huge Nick bigwigs get to decide that stuff. If we can't do anything about it, why not laugh? Pouting won't do any good.

    She had control over what came out of her mouth. And truly it was unnecessary and not funny. We're just discussing it, not forming an angry mob! LOL

    We're not annoyed with it, it's just funny until the point of being in bad taste.

    It's nice to see people get excited about it, but after a few times of watching the trailer; it just becomes annoying.
    True, although the main thing that made the screaming enjoyable is that they didn't block any of the dialogue. I just watched the Ember Island Players video and it was very annoying when you couldn't hear.

    I know. I could barely understand what everyone was saying because the fangirls were laughing and squealing so much. Sigh...

    But I have to say even the most manly men amongst us in Avatar fandom would have squealed like a fangirl, if you were there too! LOL
    Alas, if only my voice still went that high. If I tried to do a fangirl squeal I'd probably sound like a walrus.

    I'd pay to hear that.
