Iroh just said that the Water Tribes had a sense of community and "a love that ties them together" or something (basically, they just like other Watertribe members), not that they're all runners-up for Miss Avatarland, constantly wandering around in bikini tops and wishing for world peace. The "element of change" means they're capable of adapting to situations, not that they're bipolar.
What about Sokka? Why wasn't Sokka the one who was hurt most by his father's departure, especially since it's implied that their relationship was closer (Sokka was trained as a warrior by his father, while Katara performed domestic duties with her mother). Why couldn't they develop Sokka's character into more than just the comic relief? Why is Toph always just mulling around behind everyone else? Since the training montage in Bitter Work, she's hardly even been in the foreground of most of the plotlines, just popping in for a sarcastic quip here and there or to Earthbend at random intervals.
Meanwhile, let's just change the series to "Katara: The Best Waterbender (with her sidekick the Avatar: The Last Airbender)"

1) Bipolar IS going from one extreme to the other; that's why I said it. It's was a hyperbole used to emphasize my point.
2) Getting angry when something bad happens to you and then crying when you're sad isn't adapting to a situation, it's reacting to a situation. Adapting to a situation would be like being thrown into a pit of cobras and then, instead of crying because it's your last few moments of life, somehow using ingenuity or natural ability to escape and/or become one with the cobras. Adapting is rolling with the punches, reacting is saying "Ow."
3) I didn't say Katara could adapt, I was quoting Iroh, who said that the nature of the Water Tribe members to adapt.
4) One exclamation point would have been sufficient.

And I really think that people who aren't fans of this thread need to just choose to not look at it.
Okay, The Runaway. Why is Katara always the hero? Just a few episodes ago, we saw Katara (who hasn't been training as extensively as long as Toph has) bend a couple mini-tsunamis from water she couldn't even see. So now Toph can't just bend the earth AROUND or UNDERNEATH the wooden cell to free herself even though she can't "see" it? She couldn't even reach her hand out of her cell a couple of inches, touched the ground with her hand, and bend it that way? No, it had to be Katara, using her limitless waterbending, to free them.
And then Katara had to be the one to immobilize Sparky Sparky Boom Man. Toph couldn't earthbend him, or, writers forbid, SOKKA couldn't use his fighting skills against him. I'm willing to bet Sokka really isn't going to use his new sword against a person, ever. I mean, it's Nickelodeon after all. They can only vaguely hint at a violent death, so I'd assume stabbing and seriously injuring someone on screen is out of the question. It's only going to be used for cutting ropes to initiate some chain reaction, or cutting trees to delay a chase. Basically, he's going to continue to be in the background of the fight scenes.
Also, just about everything we've been saying has been said today; her only real fault is she's too motherly and bossy, but it's only because no one else in the group will be a leader, and because she's just so compassionate, determined, and strong. Still, I like how they're trying to build more on the characters' personalities, even using logic and psychology to determine their behavior, for both the villains and the heroes.
