    I have shut down my previous best and worst episode contest in favor of a new thread. This thread will serve as a place where you can post a list of all 61 Avatar episodes, from best to worst, in one list. I will post mine shortly. Feel free to discuss. Good Luck!

    To tell you the truth, I don't know if the other threads would work anymore. The Best Episode thread was locked due to the bumping (I'm suprised the other wasn't either). It's hard to keep a thread that is mainly centered around one poll alive (by alive...I mean on the first or second page of the forum). I hope this new thread will work, but I can see why you are frustrated.

    Yea...I was just thinking about it compared to the other episodes. It was an interesting idea, but I've never regarded it as one of the better episodes. Probably one of the worst of Season 3.

    I think it was one of the best. Probably my favourite, aside from the finale. It showed a lot of insight into Azula, Mai, Ty Lee, and Zuko's mind.

    In Jet's initial appearence, I found him to be somewhat of a one-dimensional character. As much as the "revenge against the Fire Nation" idea was interesting, it would have been nice to see an actual struggle between doing right and wrong. Not until Book 2 do we see Jet have a struggle inside himself. In Book 2, I definitly found Jet to be a much more interesting character with many sides to him.

    I can see exactly where you are coming from, and I understand your arguement. It was definitly intersting to find out more about Mai and Ty Lee, who were characters we previously did not know much about. The character development felt a bit rushed towards the end, and the first 15 minutes or so of the episode were just a tad uniteresting.

    I thought it was hilarious.

    In any case, as one of the more dedicated Azula fans, I would like to point out that The Beach played a critical role in foreshadowing what happened to her in the finale. If someone were to watch the finale without having seen The Beach, they would probably be right in thinking that Azula's sudden slide into insanity was a bit odd/forced. The Beach however, provides the critical explanation.

    I will agree with you that Azula's slipping starts at this episode. It is also true that this episode can not be considered filler because of the character development that was so critical in the finale and in other episodes like the Boiling Rock.

    I like Jet because it broached a topic that I never expected to see in a show on Nickelodeon. We debate this issue quite often in my department (Dept. of Political Science), and to see it in Avatar was surprising.

    Really? Other than Combustion Man and Azula foreshadowing that episode was so full of melodrama and TEEN ANGST that I don't see what everyone finds so special about it.

    It provided another step for Zuko in his journey of recognizing that he had mde the wrong choice. It revealed a bit more about the characters of Mai and Ty Lee. And it was absolutely hilarious. It might not be in the top ten, but it is definitely in the top twenty episodes for me.
