    Have anyone seen the cable ratings? The season finale did very well. Number 9 overal, though I am discouraged that a Sunday morning repeat of Spongebob Squarepants was number 8. Even though??"The??Guru/Crossroads Of Destieny"??had more viewers. Both episodes are ranked together for the hour, not seperetely.??That is their system, whatever.

    4.42 million viewers!!! Whoa! I knew this show was popular, but I didn't know it was that popular. What I don't believe is the Spongbob one. I guess people today can't distinguish between good and bad programming.

    It is like the popular vote and electorial college. Avatar had more viewers than Spongebob, but had more viewer home watching Spongebob on that Sunday morning.

    Avatar won the popular vote, while Spongebob won the electorial college, which I guess means more in the ratings.

    If you avarage it out, Avatar still wins. Avatar had .29 more viewers than Spongebob. Spongebob only had .02 more homes watching than Avatar.

    It's more than depressing. Honestly, how can anyone begin to compare Avatar to Spongebob?

    sorry if someone has already suggested this, but who thinks Long Feng tricked Azula into taking power? I mean it would make sense because he is used to working behind the scenes the only problem would be Azula is much stronger than the Earth King (both metally and physically). It's just that I find it hard to believe that the Dai Li would turncoat so easily.

    I was sure as hell disappointed when I saw Long Feng bow to her like that. After what he did to Jet I thought for sure we'd see a Long Feng/Azula showdown, guess I'll just have to wait till next season for that to happen.

    that was awful. after all the crap he had to wade through, he just gives up. he should lead a resistance against the fire nation, one of many.

    Not me. I wouldn't be allowed to watch Avatar if i didn't do the dishes. I have to give Azula credit, she planned that out VERY well. I thought she was going to leave a back door open, but she got everything to work out in her favor. Long Fe thought he had the upper cut, but in reality Azula was turning everyone to her side. Long Fe does have a bargining tool though...he still knows how to brainwash and Azula doesn't. I don't believe she even knows that that was a factor in the equation.There's still hope of a double overrule!

    I just saw something hilarious while watching over "The Crossroads of Destiny" frame by frame on my computer.

    See that part when Aang gets struck by Azula's lighting then Katara catches him then she sits on the floor while Zuko and Azula are coming up on her and Iroh shots a fire blast to stop them and.... STOP !!!! RIGHT THERE !!! IT'S RIGHT THERE !!!!

    Look closely at the siblings reaction to the fire blast: you see Azula taking an immediate fighting pose to counter-attack... and for Zuko, well I'll just let you see for yourself what our brave prince did at that time *giggles like an idiot* , if you see it please reply. lol??

    He shields himself. So what? Azula isn't in a fighting stance either; it looks more like flailing.

    Haha. I wouldn't be allowed to watch Avatar either if I didn't do the dishes or my other chores, including the huge amount of homework I get each night.

    Maybe she does know about the brainwashing and will brainwash Long Feng with the Dai Li? Just a thought though. And it seems very unlikely.

    No, b/c it won???t show up I don???t know why.

    ??

    Remember in Boy in the Ice Berg when Aang first comes out of the Avatar State, and Katara ketches him. He wakes up, she smiles. And remember in CRoD Aang comes out of the AS, Katara ketches him, he wakes up, she smiles. They???re very similar, someone may have pointed this out.
