    I don't if anyone takes it as far as me, but i was wondering if anyone caught any inconsistancies or glitches in a characters profile (out of character.)

    For example, Katara is usually thinks things out to last degree, so where did her sudden descision to love Aang come from. Not saying that there's anything wrong with Kataang, just wondering why she didn't become troubled or ponder it like she normally does with big descions. It seemed out of character.

    As stated before, we don't know her thought pattern. She might've loved aang already but didn't want to say so because he had to focus on the war, or the fact that the meeting they had at the tea shop probably took MONTHS after the end of the war. Why would Fire Lord Zuko and Avatar Aang be relaxing at a tea shop two days after the end of the war when there's so much to be done? They probably started the rebuilding process and got some people hired to get started and were just taking a day off.

    yeah. no kidding. and for that matter, why is it that mai had no problem with the fact that zuko didn't even bother getting her out of jail?

    there are lots of things they couldnt expand on in the show dealing with characters. There wasn't a place in any episode where Katara could just say "wow, im starting to like you aang", they probably assumed people could just get that out of "the headband" or CoTL. And she has been thinking about it since season one. So it wasnt just a rash decision or a glitch in her character.

    she's been pondering it for awhile, the first realization was The Fortuneteller at the end when sokka makes a claim about how powerful aang is... Then they've sorta grown on each other, season 1 finale... season 2 episode one when she's talking about how scary it is to see aang in so much pain, it's ALL OVER the series, these are jus a few off the top of my head...

    cave of 2 lovers is a big hint, serpent's pass when aang's talking to katara after the baby, she starts crying in joy, season 2 finale when she almost loses aang, season 3 episode 1 when she sorta flirts when him "I like your hair", when they dance and she's blushing, they grew on each other. Aang had the schoolboy crush right off the bat, but as he matured it turned into legit caring and love, and as Katara and aang were together more and more she started falling for him more and more...

    Then you look at season 3 before the battle when they do the weird kiss thing, it was obviously Katara's first kiss (did you see anyone in the southern water tribe she woulda had a relationship with...)... And what I think personally, is Katara's been thinking about having a relationship with aang, but as stated in the ember island players she put her feelings on the back burner because of the war... Then after the final battle was all over and she had a chance to think it over, she decided to finally let her emotions run instead of holding them back so they wouldn't get in the way of what truly needed to be done

    i, myself, would have liked to actually have scene her character develope into it. By not showing it, it was like they took the easy way out

    those are all very good points, I guess, I would have liked to see why she finally let her "emotions run."

    well since the show wasn't based on katara's love interest, i thought they did a fine job with it. Like i've said, you seem to be skipping over episodes like "the fortune teller", CoTL, "the headband", and "the desert".

    i'm not. But the things in those episodes were sorta minor symbolic items, not any sort of intense dialogue. And i know katara's love interest isn't the main part of the show, but it's a pretty big deal because that was the one writer's big bang moments in the finale.

    they had more than enough time to develop a kataang relationship. they simply chose not to. maybe they wanted to pander to the shippers by dragging it out as long as possible, but it turned out rushed and undeveloped.

    I don't

    That's why I used the word "Probably". I went off to explain that it "probably" took months because, first of all, they had to gather all the people to the earth kingdom, and as you know that's not a short trip (unless it's the finale and it takes you a day to fly to the earth kingdom on appa) Aang had to make his new robe, Zuko had to set up all the details for his coronation. So that takes a while, and that's just the coronation. Now they're actually in power. They have to DO something. They're not just going to take a day off, everybody rush to the earth kingdom, and screw around. Uncle had to rebuild his tea shop since it was probably damaged in the battle, had to restock all his tea supplies. Zuko was probably off looking for his mother, as well as trying to take control of the situation that the fire nation's leader is now in jail. He looked like he was in there for a few weeks, not a couple of hours. Then they had to get Zuko from the fire nation to the earth nation, and Aang from wherever he was to the earth nation, ALL on the same day. They probably spent a day shopping at the mall, too, so that they could buy the spiffy clothes they were wearing at the end of the episode, and Sokka had to buy parchment and ink for his painting.

    I have an active imagination, and I can go on further if you want

    Yeah, Zutara happening out of two episodes and out of nowhere would have been a shining example of a developing romance.
