welll DUH!!!!! you could see him breathe at the end of the eppisode.

Uh, this is like the??Jet??death thing.??And for the record, don't call anyone an idiot just because they thought differently before you had this "proof" what made you think you knew better and besides I can disproove??your little statement. All that said was, and yes I DID read it, that she saved his life. So? He could have still died and was brought back to life, technically that'd still be saving him. I stick by my theory that Aang's heart had stopped but wasn't truly dead yet. So in a way, he didn't die and in another way he did die.?? Who really cares, point is he isn't dead whether he "died' or not.

Maybe the question isn't did Aang die but rather did he go in to the avatar state?

I know that many of you including me do not fully or at all trust nick.com. But it says Quote

"Aang is interrupted when Azula shoots him with lightning. In both cases, Aang is unable to clear the chakra and master the Avatar State."

So maybe Aang did not enter the avatar state fully and thus the cycle was not broken.

Alright, let's look at it this way. Aang was shot down when activating the Avatar state. That however, is the only aspect I can see that would be debatable. I'm contesting that the activation wasn't even complete, thus the final chakra wasn't even unlocked. Supposedly that is what Nick.com is sticking to but I believe it regardless. One could easily conclude that the scene with Aang in space, walking along the cosmic energy to his enlarged "self" was going somewhere other than him just chilling in that sphere. This process did not appear complete.

Above all else, though, you have to realize ONE thing. Katara cannot bring people back to life. Yes, she is a very, Very, VERY powerful master water bender and she is able to heal people. Nowhere, though, has anyone said that waterbenders can cure death! Not only do I think that the power to bring someone back to life should never be bestowed upon a NON-Avatar, but I would think that it would be a bit beyond the reach of ANY bender in the first place.

Personally, I would imagine that bringing someone back to life would consist of a trip to the spirit world to retrieve the actual spirit on the other side and convincing other very powerful spirits to release the person in question. No matter how sacred it might be, I highly doubt it would be as simple as using a bit of water from the North Pole's spirit oasis.

Last but not least, you can see that the mark on Aang's back was not a hole. Why? You can see another scorch mark on the bottom of his right foot. His back is where the electricity entered and the bottom of his right foot is where it exited. All electricity has a fairly direct path when electrocuting someone, a starting and ending point through the body. When given a large jolt of electricity one can be rendered unconcious as well. Not uncommon.

In conclusion.....no death occured in my honest and unbiased opinion. Yes, I could see how many could perceive him as "dying" or "dead"
(Even though the two are very, very different and seperate states. Just like how you can't be just a little bit pregnant, LOL) considering he was NOT able to support his own weight when Katara
dragged him out of the cave. None the less, I think my evidence proves my point.

Stop arguing! Cuz' THE CREATORS ARE ALWAYS RIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DAMMIT! It'll work itself out.
