    ??Give me JK They do a good job, but I must say, it would add drama to the show.

    Ya know, I thought about this tonight as I watched my daughter scrap herself across the forehead with her brush (she seemed to forget that we chopped all her hair off to make it easier for gymnastics).

    THERE WAS BLOOD ONCE! Azula scratched Zuko's forehead in the episode "The Avatar State" during their fight scene. Just thought I'd share!

    OMG WHAT A REVELATION!!! that's HUGE! azula w/ the scratch good job!

    I'm cracking myself up here tonight (don't know why, think its the back medicine I took this morning though)... BUT you know what, Zuko must have the blood of Wolverine because there was no scratch to be found around 5 minutes later when he was cutting his ponytail off and throwing it in the stream. ?? So don't blink or you'll miss it.

    HEY... wonder if I should paste that into the Weird Things thread! TMI already! ??

    darling... I'm 38 years old and its 12:20am.?? I will be getting my children up at 6am to get them ready for school and me off to work by 7:15am.?? If your friends want to laugh, let them.?? If it makes them feel better to try to degrade another individual for their likes and dislikes it doesn't say much about their intelligence level.?? Someone with an IQ higher than the Three Stooges should be able to find something better to talk about.?? Next time, simply look at them and tell them you are??unable to??have an intelligent conversation with an unarmed individual.?? ??

    I don't mind "non-violent" weapons and lack of blood. I mean, this is a kids show of course and it is more creative that way.

    I still hold on to the theory that in 15 years the series will be remade (maybe even by me) into a live action mini-series.

    Don't get me wrong, I love Avatar, but why did the creators not consider that they were making a show about a WAR when they rated it?
    Isn't war the cause of death? Death which rarely happens in this show. You know 24 doesn't even deal with war, just with a few bad guys and still there is death on both sides a plenty.
    Oh well, no use crying over spilt milk I guess...

    **Agrees** Yeah, and like me and that other guy said: They let us know whats gonna happen, cut screen to someone watching or whatever, we hear and scream or somthing, and the person will look away or something! And war won't only kill, it can disfigure. You'd think some Ba Sing Se refugees would be lacking an arm or something!
