They should ditch the Earth King but keep Bosco. Bosco is awesome, even if he is "weird"

Maybe they'll drop the Earth King off in Omashu and Bumi will teach him to earthbend and he'll be a force to be reckoned with just like the Gaang!

?????? Just a point of interest:?? in the Chase, Aang yells at Toph, saying that Appa never got tired carrying "just the three of them"?? before.?? But now he's also got to lug around the Earth King and his bear... so I doubt they will be going too far, for poor appa's sake, if nothing else.

Appa is fine, he can carry much more than like 400-500 lb's...Surfnoxx, im pretty sure Omashu is still under Fire Nation control, Bumi told Aang to leave and that they will wait to take the city back, and also Bumi is the only Earth bender left in Omashu, all the people left when they did their zombie/sickness thing...They will most likely take him somewhere with earth benders or warter benders to protect him...would be damn interesting if he knew how to Earth bend

what? how about toph? where did you hear that from the creators..?

Well they're going to have to ditch that lame excuse for an Earth King somewhere (with the Cabbage vendor perhaps?) along with Bosco and his faulty animal instincts (which are worse than Sokka's). The two will only get in the way and would probably be worse off on a journey with the Gaang. Hopefully, that will all be patched up in season 3's premiere episode. Otherwise, a sworm of folks around this forum, including I, may be a bit upset. However, I have great faith in he creators so I'll just sit back and wait to see what happens.
