    Maybe they hired water benders.... I forgot how a fridge works, but I do know that they use electricity which is something that's hot by nature. So maybe they have a machine (or they use the boiling lake properties) to have the same system as we have in our fridges, but less compact.

    I don't remember how a refrigerator works, but i do know that the fire nation does have a good pipe system, which could be used to transfer certain gases to cool the air.

    Bit hard to keep them cool though considering they are in a volcano (which magically never boils up all the water)
    It won't boil up all of the water because the gas and the water in the lake are at equilibrium. This exists in real life.
    Ah ok didn't know that, but can you live in such a place??
    Where in a volcano, surrounded by boiling water? Would you want to?

    The lake it's self was the thing that was boiling, not the inside of the volcano. My guess was that the magma in the volcano is causing the water in the lake to almost boil making it really hot and that they lake is taking up all of that heat so that they can have the prison there. Also there are firebenders there I'm sure they can do something about the lava.
    True, but you asked if you could live in such a place, apparently you can, I was just asking why would you want to.

    Few words:

    First, I'm not a shipper. just wanted to get that out of the way.

    Now from the point of view of an unbias person, the only thing that broke "maiko?" up was the fact that zuko didn't want to pull her into his situation to begin with, He was going to betray the WHOLE FIRE NATION... get that, WHOLE FIRE NATION. think about you being chased by your WHOLE NATION. would you want the one you love to be chased to? no you wouldn't. I hope not...

    With the ending of 315, Mai BETRAY THE WHOLE FIRE NATION also... so now there is no reason for them not to get back together, Zuko doesn't have to worry about forcing a lifestyle upon her because she already has done this. You really think Zuko wont rescue her? like hell. So in this way I think their relationship has a bridge now and that it will repair.

    Second... My poor Azula... I felt pained for her and her friends... I was really hopful that some part of Azula would realize it is her FRIEND she was dealing with and let it slide, but she didn't, Mai didn't help the situation at all either mind you. Still I'd think they'd be more than so easy to break up. *sighs*

    Last, did anyone find it arkward that nobody was angry with Zuko/Sokka for going to the FIRE NATION TOUGEST PRISON" without backup of any kind? LEts see, tha takes away a sword/mastermind planner, and Aang's ONLY FIREBENDING TEACHER without any consideration. Yet nobody seemed to show the slightest bit of "give a dang".

    Last but not least, At least 30 sharp knives were thrown and nobody got cut, yet everyone is asking why Sokka didn't gut Azula... welcome to censorship. The show is for kids, which makes sokka's sword useful for cutting rope and that's it. enjoy

    About your fourth pargraph: I think that everyone was just happy to see that Hakoda and Suki were alive and well, especially Katara. But that doesn't mean Zuko and Sokka won't get lectured later (in the next episode maybe?)

    I think Katara might say a sentence or two about it and the whole thing will be forgotten Like you said, no one was really mad because Zuko and Sokka came back safely and they brought Suki and Hakoda with them.

    I'm well aware of censorship which is why they shouldn't have even bothered showing the 'almost impalement' in the 1st place or they could have handled it better by showing Azula getting out of it somehow. They've managed to make Sokka's sword fights work quite well up until now despite censorship, which is something all TV shows (minus movie networks) have to work with.

    Hi everybody! I'd like to voice my opinion about the show!

    First off, I'm a Maiko fan all the way and I am so happy with our little Mai right now. "I love Zuko more than I fear you." FTW Sorry Zutara fans but it doesn't look like it's going to happen despite what people saw on the trailer for the rest of season 3.
    Second, speaking of the trailer, I've been hearing rumors that the next episode will talk about Zuko' mom and Katara and Sokka's mom so maybe that scene where they hugged was just from them both feeling sympathetic with each other or something.
    Third, I LOVE SUKI! OMG she kicks @$$ man! I hope we find the other Kiyoshi warriors soon.
    Forth, Go Ty Lee! Yeah, she now is not the annoying person of the show in my book anymore. She officially rocks!
    And Fifth, I hope that we get to see Ursa come back (Zuko's mom) I wonder if she can fight .

    Although she most likely did, we don't know for sure that Ursa killed Azulon. I underlined Ursa so you would know it's spelt Ursa and not Urza. Which oddly enough makes her one of the few in the royal family who doesn't have a 'Z' in her name.

    2 things:
    1. Anyone else notice the music? It was a tune just for this episode. I think it fit perfectly, it definitely made me think 'prison break'.
    2. Was the guy who came off the gondola just before Hakoda one of the pirates from The Waterbending Scroll?

    Must have been because one of the prison people said we are going have some war people and even some pirates

    QFT means 'quoted for truth'. If you don't know that I think it's worth looking at the FAQ section of my Question/Answer thread.

    Hi everybody! I'd like to voice my opinion about the show!

    First off, I'm a Maiko fan all the way and I am so happy with our little Mai right now. "I love Zuko more than I fear you." FTW Sorry Zutara fans but it doesn't look like it's going to happen despite what people saw on the trailer for the rest of season 3.
    Second, speaking of the trailer, I've been hearing rumors that the next episode will talk about Zuko' mom and Katara and Sokka's mom so maybe that scene where they hugged was just from them both feeling sympathetic with each other or something.
    Third, I LOVE SUKI! OMG she kicks @$$ man! I hope we find the other Kiyoshi warriors soon.
    Forth, Go Ty Lee! Yeah, she now is not the annoying person of the show in my book anymore. She officially rocks!
    And Fifth, I hope that we get to see Ursa come back (Zuko's mom) I wonder if she can fight .

    1. QFT!
    2. Perhaps....
    3. Who doesn't?
    4. Ty Lee's my girl! *sings* My Girl....
    5. Hmm....Urza's a murderer, but o.k.! She can fight though. She killed Azulon!
    What does qft mean? Are you a Zutara fan by any chance?
    *screams his lungs out* AM I A ZUTARA FAN? AM I A ZUTARIAN? *GREATEST GASP IN THE HISTORY OF GASPS* I'M AN AVID KATAANGER!!!!!!!!!!!!! KATAANG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!FTW!! FTW also stands for For The Win.
