Yes, it was awesome!?? I think I'm going to have to watch it at least one more time to really take it all in.?? I hope my VCR worked right this time.?? Friday night, I had forgotten to set the VCR timer back for the end of Daylight Savings, so it taped an hour early, so I re-set it and tried again this morning.

My personal favorite part was Aang saying "A bad idea" in a kind of threatening tone after Sokka suggested Katara kiss Jet.?? His first jealousy moment, and it was so cute!?? I really want to see more of Kataang!?? I mean, the subtle hints seem to indicate that they're sort of a couple, but we haven't really seen anything overt since Serpent's Pass.?? However, I did catch that Aang touched Katara's shoulder at the very end, and she turned to hug him, which??then turned into a mass group hug.

Anyway, great action sequences that lead up to the next episode, Zuko questioning his destiny, some funny humor, and a touching reunion at the end.?? Wonderful!

this may be late, but here it goes:

this was thwe best episode of the season!!!! i loved it soooooo much!!!! toph was especially funny to me in this episode.

OH MY GOD!!!!Iwas pulling a Faoming Mouth guy-move during the whole thing!!!!!!!!

And im watching it again right now. Thank God for Apple.

Infitessimally awesome!????awesome to the umpteenth degree!?? It had everything i ever wanted in an episode of Avatar.?? it kicks off the bat with another one of Toph's blind pranks, when she says that Sokka's pictures of Appa looked good to her, to which Sokka replies: 'Why do you keep doing that?'?? Aang lost his shat with Joo Dee and i'm surprised he didn't go intot he Avatar State.?? Another classic moment came when Toph celebrated the breaking of the rules by demolishing a side of the house. WOO!?? Anarchay in Ba Sing Se!

Jet returns with the Aang Gang distrusting the freedom fighter.?? the thing with the water mind meld was pretty cool, and of course the fight between Aang and Jet was edge of your seat fun.?? Holy crap, did Long Feng give Jet the mother of all concussions??? Is he going to be okay??? Toph has been wrong before with her diagnosis.?? I didn't know Longshot could talk...

Meanwhile, Zuko takes one last hurrah as the Blue Spirit, going to find Appa to...well, as Iroh put it he doesn't plan things out.?? Iroh absolutely put Zuko??in his freaking place.?? it all comes together when Zuko frees Appa, who beat the hell out of the Dai Li.?? Oh, and Long Feng, how you said you could take down Appa before he grabbed you by the sandal and tossed you across the lake??? OWNAGE!?? there was a lot of meaning to me when Iroh told Zuko to 'Let it (the Blue Spirit) go'.?? okay, so there's not going to be a new episode for a fortnight, but it's probalby for us to chill from the absolute coolness of this episode.

1. this really was an AMAZING episode, definatly better than usual

2. Did Jet die? or do we just not know. (I felt so bad for Smellerbee ??)

3. YAY! Appa's back!!!!!

4. Zuko is about the coolest character on this show, but he had that talk??coming.

5. was it just me, or did the grafics look different?

The animation style is different (sorry about the youtube quality) AAHHHH wont show up, oh well, they DID look different...
