    Now with our favorite series over (not counting mini-episodes, live-action movies, etc.), I think it would be an appropriate time to start remembering some of our least favorite episodes by means of a contest. My idea is to have a poll up everyday with 5 episodes that would be left there for a day. Then, which ever episode has the highest amount of votes would move on to the next round, which would be a round of twelve (60 episodes, if you put SC Pt 3 and 4 together, five episodes per poll, makes 12 winners). In the round of twelve, we would have three episodes per poll, producing 4 winners. Then in the semi-finals, we'd have two vs. two, and then the finals. Our first poll will start today at 5:30PM EST, and end at 10 PM EST tomorrow, and the new poll will then start, and it will end at the same time. so it should take 19 days.

    The actual thread can serve as an argument ground and/or reaction place and/or complaint area.

    I hope you all enjoy this contest!

    This is difficult because none of those episodes are bad, but Warriors of Kyoshi is my least favorite of those five.

    Well, in the true fashion of any Avatar obsessed fan, I am not satisfied until it is proven in a poll.

    This is actually a really tough decision. All of these episodes were good in my opinion (Southern Air Temple and King of Omashu are probably the best in this group), but if I have to choose, I would unfortunately have to choose the premier episode, The Boy in the Iceberg.

    I can clearly remember watching this episode on the very first day it premiered three years ago. I liked this episode because it was our very first look at the world of Avatar and the elements. It was interesting, but not as cool as the Avatar State action in the next episode, the Agni Kai in the Air Temple episode, the attack on Kyoshi Island, or the duel between King Bumi and Aang in Omashu. This was a good episode to introduce the characters, but I wouldn't have minded seeing some bending action in between the penguin sledding scenes.

    I have to say the Southern Air Temple was the worst. Even though it was the first episode i watched live The only thing that we really got out of the episode is that the avatar is reincarnated. I didn't think it was quite as interesting as the others...although Warriors of Kyoshi is a pretty close second.

    Quick Update before I go:
    Wow...really close race here. I guess that is what happens when you have a good bunch of episodes in the first part of the season. Warriors of Kyoshi has 10 votes, beating Omashu and Southern Air Temple by 3. Iceberg is in a close third at 6 votes. The Avatar State doesn't even have a vote...that's pretty good. Prediction: Iceberg has miraculous comeback to become the first of the worst.

    heres my analysis:

    THE BOY IN THE ICEBERG

    Perks: The show began on a high note. The story unfolds and much is revealed, but enough is kept stasched away for you.

    Bad Parts: The episode had no bending action and overall the concept was pretty dull.

    THE AVATAR RETURNS

    Perks: We get to see some AS action.

    Bad Parts: None, really, other than we didn't get to see what Katara has learned from her years in the Southern Tribe.

    THE SOUTHERN AIR TEMPLE

    Perks: We get to find out more about Aang's past. We also get to see Zuko vs. Zhao.

    Bad Parts: The show has NO bad parts.

    THE WARRIORS OF KYOSHI

    Perks: The episode shows a Fire Nation siege of a village, and alot of bending action.

    Bad Parts: The episode could have had more of the siege, less of the other parts.

    THE KING OF OMASHU

    Perks: Humor. And bending action.

    Bad Parts: NONE!!

    here is my ranking:

    5. The King of Omashu

    4. The Southern Air Temple

    3. The Warriors of Kyoshi

    2. The Avatar Returns

    1. The Boy in the Iceberg


    So i voted off Book 1, Chapter 1: The Boy in the Iceberg.

    when are you going to decide what episode is the worst and move onto Round Two?
