    this has been really bothering me. In the series finale, Bumi was explaining how he rewon control of Omashu, and in the flashback, he was bieng held in a cage or big box or whatever, and he broke out of it when the solar eclipse hit, right? I don't know if Iwas just seeing things, but didn't he metalbend his way out of the cage?
    He broke the door with slabs of rock from the ground.

    Oh. was that all? I probably should have watched it again and studied that scene more carefully. I feel so stupid.

    All in all.... Toph is still the greatest earthbender in the world. It's a shame that she isn't able to feel things like air or fire... or can she??? I'm pretty sure she can't, because when Zuko shot fire at her... she pratically walked into it!!! I'm going to have to admit that Toph may have some flaws, but who doesn't??? I'm still a huge fan to you Toph!!!

    P.S - Haru is a terrible eartbender... and he needs to shave!

    LOL, I don't think Haru is a terrible Earthbender, he just isn't really-good/great... I actually think he might be almost as good as his father Tyro... Tyro doesn't seem that great...

    They're your average earth benders. They're by no means bad, its just they dont have the same power and grasp when it comes to the element as Bumi and Toph do. Also in BUmi's case there's a century of experience

    Exactly, Haru and Tyro are not really-good or great, but not that-bad or un-talented... And in Toph's case, there is huge amounts of knowledge in the most advanced Earthbending techniques that can possibly be practiced... Come to think of it, Toph + Bumi = Be afraid Mighty Forces, be afraid!

    Man, think of the amount of power those two would have if they were a team!

    I'd really like to see Toph and Bumi fight it off in an episode... too bad it's over..........

    Fine... maybe Haru isn't all that bad, but he's not all that good either. I think the Dai Li are pretty awesome though
