    it kind of was inside the storyline. it showed them trying to conserve time for the invasion and showed them helping another town. isnt that what avatar is about...helping more and more useless towns?

    I've learned that in Avatar, fillers don't mean "bad" at all. In fact, I don't remember who it was, but somebody suggested that we call them fullers, not fillers.

    "Fullers" contribute to the story in some way; yes, even "The Great Divide". Just my .02

    You shouldn't have said that first lol. Every time someone on this forum or any other Avatar site says "That was filler" it's expressed with hatred for the episode. That's why I thought that's what you were doing. my bad. I had thought you were fixing to trash it.

    Dude i love "fillers" You gotta understand that Avatar Xtreme Insider is unscripted so I sometimes say stuff on the top of my head that i later regret. The painted lady was an awesome ep just like other fillers like "Zuko Alone" and "The Beach =D" which was actually more fanservice then anything else, Im sure u'll disagree that some of the eps i say are fillers are not really. But thats the beauty of it, what i say in the show is my opinion, im not forcing you or anyone else to believe what i believe and thats what makes Avatar so great, the fans discussing and truly getting in depth makes this show worth watching and being able to be a fan of it

    Zuko Alone wasn't filler, it contributes to the overall storyline by giving more of a backstory to one of the central characters.

    Humph!

    Personally, I thought "The Painted Lady" was awesome.
    I know. It was a great episode, but people aren't satisfied easily.


    People are spoiled little sh*ts.

    Okay, maybe that's a little harsh.
    It couldn't be closer to the truth.

    LOL..so funny...yet so true..

    I thought the Painted Lady herself was so cool that if I were a chick I'd probably have her as my icon.

    O_O

    Where did that come from?

    Anyway...

    I have to tell you though, I thought "The Beach" was a little irritating. Don't get me wrong, I loved Azula and the girls in beachwear, but if it hadn't been for Combustion Man's first attack (which totally made that episode in my opinion), I would have just rolled my eyes at it.

    Fullers, I like that word. Also yes the Beach epsiode did have the first attack by Sparky Sparky Boom Man (that name was better) and that kicked ass

    I'm sorry to say that even with all your support. Im planning on ending AXI Season 2 and AXI for the long run after Episode 24. Im planning on bringing it back for the movies and the possible 4th season. But until AXI will be finishing at the end of August

    You definitely need to script the show. Scripting helps keep everything organized instead of having random info attack the viewer.

    Some tips:

    1. Gather information, double check your sources. People may be wrong about some things, so it's best to make sure everything is truth.
    2. Organize everything into different segments, write out a simple guideline of what to say (you don't have to stck to the script, just make sure you know exactly everything you are going to say and in what order)
    3. Partially memorize your guideline. You can look down at the script every once in a while, just be comfortable enough to be able to look up at the audience.
    4. Practice your show in front of your mirror and in front of friends. Perfect your delivery.
    ***You can also through in a few jokes. Just don't overdo it.
    5. Finally tape your show, Go over it, look for miniscule errors, write down what to prefect.
    6. Retape. Then add your effects and whatnot.

    A well-planned host is a happy host.

    I usually check my sources, If i cant prove it I'll present it as a rumor

    :
    2. Organize everything into different segments, write out a simple guideline of what to say (you don't have to stck to the script, just make sure you know exactly everything you are going to say and in what order)

    Do it every week

    3. Partially memorize your guideline. You can look down at the script every once in a while, just be comfortable enough to be able to look up at the audience.

    Of course

    :
    4. Practice your show in front of your mirror and in front of friends. Perfect your delivery.
    ***You can also through in a few jokes. Just don't overdo it.

    I lways come up with funny stuff specially when im alone ^^
