Well it was certainly an enjoyable episode, much more in tune with what??I would have expected from the series, but I do not even rank this in my top five - well maybe #5 - I have to think about it.

The hot-head thing I found reminded me of the saucer-eyed look Aang gave when he spotted the egg custard in The Great Divide (I??was so sure the Aang crew would meet up with those refugees from that epi again in BSS, but it doesn't look like it). For me it was less annoying than the fangirl comment in Appa's Lost Days or Iroh's bustin' a move in Bitter Work.

However, I do agree the comparison of LL to SOTN is an apples/oranges type thing.
