    Katara knew Zuko's name in "The Warriors of Kyoshi" and then she knew about Ty Lee in "The Drill". How? Its never been explained how she or the gaang knows about their enemies. And its getting annoying?

    Well I'm not sure how she knew Zuko's name, but in "The Chase" Mai said "I thought when Ty-Lee and I finally..." right in front of Katara, so that is how she would know Ty-Lee's name.

    Oh my gosh I completely forgot about that. Ok then how bout how she understands the fundementals Ty??Lee abilities. I mean in the Chase she vagualy described it as??"something that took [her] bending away"??but then in this ep??she's all, "try to inhibit my chi now, circus freak." She could've figured it out later on but uh....

    Yeah, how did Katara figure out Ty Lee was from the circus? And what she said was harsh for Katara. A lot of what Katara said in that ep was mean.

    You are right, she did seem to know a lot more about it in this last episode.

    I had forgotten about that circus remark, I have no idea how she would have known that. And she did seem pretty mean in that episode.

    If you've read the Nick.com bios for the avatar characters, apparently she was a very famous acrobat in the circus. I don't think Ty-Lee is a very common name. About the Katara knowing Zuko's name. She probably found out from Aang after her and Sokka rescued him from his ship. Although they don't show it Aang probably heard his name on at least one occasion.

    I don't know, they have alot of down time to learn things. They probably did a little investigating in the spare time they have. *Just nod your head and walk away*

    Well, the earthbending solider did say she did cartwheels, and ty lee is really acrobatic. Maybe Katara drew it from there.

    I always thought that she knew Zuko's name because the firelord's son's name is common knowledge in their world...just me though. It's like how people in America know Prince William and Prince Harry's names, or something.

    there are a ton of new people on but w/e its all good. Katara did seem to know alot, but I don't think she was mean. She was VERY supportive of Aang and the meaner things she said was when she was fighting and in a panic, honestly EVRYONE trash talks in a fight, just go to the Agni Kai forum

    I think she probably just called her a circus freak because she thought Ty Lee was a freak and you see freak shows at certain types of circus's.??
