| The entire Ba Sing Se series leading up to Lake Laogai has been painful and slow. LL has pulled it into being a neutral experience, but unless they really blow the lid off of the season, I'm gonna be left thinking it wasn't worth it. |

Dude...from what I'm hearing the lid will be blown off and land some 4,000 miles away! Why would you even doubt they wouldn't send this season off with a bang like last year? |
I have faith in the writers to make a great season finale but I agree with master the way they handled the entire Ba Sing Se and search for Appa was very slow and did drag towards the end.
But let's see how they handle the rest of the episodes for this season.

I will agree with Pooldude. The season has been very good like the first one. I am sure that the season finally is going to be great. I will have to agree that I do like the BSS episodes. They maybe slow in the story BUT they are very important. They display the human side of the kids too. Remember that they are human beings. Also Zuko has changed a great deal while in BSS. Look at his date as an example. Iroh's role in the story is becoming greater now too. I think everyone should try to look at each episode as a small part of the overall story and enjoy each one. I have heard from many people that Appa's Lost Days was boring and pointless. However what I saw in that episode is the true Appa. Not just the bison that flies them around. He has a heart, soul, and personality. That episode showed me that we as viewers put too much concentration on the main characters and belittle characters like Momo and Appa. Appa is a stronger character in the show now because of that episode. Also that episode showed the Guru and how he is important for Aang. So when you think about the episodes then each one really does have a deeper meaning that you missed the first time around. I suggest rewatching them and getting a good idea about what each one is showing. Here are some questions to ask yourself. In fact write them down before the episode and answer them along the way. It will make the episode more fun to watch. Who is the antagonist (Enemy) of the episode? Who is the protagonist (Hero) of the episode? What moral (Lesson) did I get from the episode? Do I see the deep meaning behind the moral? What progress did I get from the episode that contributes to the story as a whole? You should be able to answer each question above from each episode. In fact I think I might start a new thread with these questions. That can be a great basis to talk about the various episodes. |
