Nickelodeon (ended 2008)
Season 2 beats all
Season 3 is pretty close with the amazing finale
Season 1 still awesome

I agree, season three had too many filler episodes.

Well technically there wasn't a filler, but "The Ember Island Players" could have been better (by changing the whole episode) and also "The Beach" wasn't very plot related, and "The Runaway" could have been more plot related, and "Nightmares and Daydreams" could have been better, and "The Headband" could have been more plot related.
Even though I am putting in my opinion, but it could have been better .

I could go on for a while about why I loved The Beach so much, but Jackson and Dafoose seem to have covered pretty much everything I could have had to say. I know I said it before, but I'll say it again; the small amount of character developement for Azula in this episode was cruicial to understanding what went wrong with her during the finale. Zuko, Mai, and Ty Lee's character also recieved much needed developement (it is in this episode that we see for the first time that Zuko is having serious doubts about whether he has made the right choice). And of course, there was the fact that it was hilarious; I rank it the third funniest episode in B3, after EIP and Nightmares and Daydreams.
And since a number of people have mentioned The Headband, I would like to point out that this was actually a fairly critical shipping episode. In this episode we get hard evidence that Katara does in fact like Aang as something more than a friend, thus helping to silence the die-hard Zutarians who claim that Katara showed no evidence of liking Aang that way.

It seems that most of those episoded had like 5 minutes of plot in the episode. I like deep plot episodes and I don't like fool around episodes. They had a party in the "The Headband" and a party in "The Beach". Even though it was different characters for each party they could have re-did those episodes into one. I would have liked that better. They even had a short beach party in the finale.

Honestly, if they had added an arc in season 3, like the "find earth-bending teacher" or "find appa" arcs in season 2 rather than having multiple fillers season 3 would've been the best. Season 3 is epic and all, but DoBS, WAT and SC can't make an entire season. |
Don't forget FBM, BR, SR, EIP, Sokka's Master, The Beach...
Personally, I think that Zuko's redemption was the major arc that covered the first hal of the season, and it was a pretty good one.
But you do have a point about the outright storytelling of B2 being on a higher scale than it's peers. But B3 definitely wins points for it's truly epic individual movies. That's why they are a tie for me.

Then BR, sure it was good, but, we just saw how useless Sokka sword can and will be, and brought Hakoda, Tall Guy and Suki, and on episode later Hakoda and Tall Guy left... altough the Mai/Ty Lee confrontation with Azula was extremely important, it could've been just one episode, and have the SR be two so it could be more enjoyable. EIP, it was funny, but it was just a comic episode actually, and i'm just taking this to a plot-wise arguement. SM, while it was quite important, in the end, Sokka got fictional development for a one-day problem, a sword that altough appeared in every episode after, didn't make make any importance and just slowed Sokka down a bit (again Zuko & Sokka Vs Azula in BR) but Iroh's part was very important, and, the OWL hint was, well, unnesesary actually. The Beach, as much as i loved the fanservice, it was really just a Miami Beach with 7 minutes worth of Character Development by Zuko & Mai and CM's first encounter with the Gaang. Ty Lee's and Azula's development was pretty much one-chapter and kinda just told us that Azula will fall down emotionally, as much as i love forshadowing they made that one too obvious... But, that's just my opinion, "Many people can see the same tree and yet, the tree in everyone's mind from seeing that tree will be different" |
