    Frankly, I don't think that the department/contractors/joe-schmoes who put the stuff on the Nick web site goofed at all. I think it's the idiot programming execs who goofed! I now believe that Pooldude was right all along, that Lake Laogai was indeed supposed to air on October 18 (after all, it was listed on DirecTV and other places), and the execs changed it at the last minute. The folks who put up the Turbonick content on Nick's site are paid to do just that-- I doubt they even watch Avatar. If they were told in advance to put Lake Laogai on Turbonick on October-whatever, that's what they did. It's not their fault if some Nick programming exec had a three-martini lunch and then decided to change things around for fun.

    I've seen Nick's programming department do this many times before, and it drives me nuts. They change stuff so suddenly that I turn my TV on expecting a certain program-- and my DirecTV says it IS the program I'm looking for-- and there's something else entirely on the screen! How do they expect any show of theirs to get decent ratings when they switch things up like that??

    Hey, I"m just happy to say that Nick is finally showing commercials again!!!! Finally... too bad the episode was already on TurboNick, I hope that they show commercials for the Earth King too. ??

    so nick pretty much screwed the lake laogai tv premier, it was on turbo nick and now its on youtube in all the crappy glory of a bad quality file, but still i doubt nick will have the ratings they expect for this one.

    I think that was the best episode of Avatar in the entire series to this point. Definitely top 5. Finale is going to kick ass.

    Looks like you got wise to someone finally getting wise to the episode on turbonick. Yeah, anyway they actually announced that the polls were closed on avatarspirit.com. Couldn't think of a better expression.

    The episode was one of the best that i have seen so far.?? It showed a huge ammount of character development for Zuko and it had great action in it.?? I was a little worried about what might happen when Katara finally saw Jet cause i didn't know if she was just gonna waste him on sight or listen to what he had to say.?? I don't think that they rushed this episode.....well they had basically 2 1/2 weeks to work on it so i would imagine that it wouldn't be bad.?? But anyway, Jet is gonna die........ oh well at least he was finally good for a change

    Don't think that Jet is gonna die so soon...don't forget Iroh had a close call too where ppl thought he was dead...I'm not sure what'll happen but I say Jet lives to face down (well to avoid spoiling anything) past enemies...

    They've had more than 2 1/2 weeks. They're constantly making these episodes and begin production on something months ahead of time.

    I thought this episode was perfect. I have never been prouder of a cartoon character's choices. God bless Mako.

    I still don't think that revelation of Jet's past means that he'll survive, but it is a great discovery.

    FYI.?? I DO LOVE Avatar!?? And I had NO IDEA that the airing of Lake Laogai on Turbo nick was an accident and not supposed ot happen.?? If I did, I certainly wouldn't have watched it before hand.?? But i didn't.?? I'm sorry.?? But That wont' stop me from watching it on Friday when it airs.?? I can't wait for the upcomign episodes either!
    It's not my fault nick messed up.?? And I'll enjoy the episode on Friday jsut as muc has I did when I saw it a few days ago.
    Water tribe rules!
    May the power of water be with everyone always!

    NIcely put. Although I would have done withou the h e double hickeysticks thing.?? Anyway, otherwise, nicely put.?? I enjoyed watchign it before hand and it gave me soemthing to look forward to on Friday.?? Also, it gave me something to look forawrd to with my sister.?? And since I'm visually impaired, I enjoy watching thigns a few times to really get the enjoyment out of them.?? And Avatar Spirit is the one who put hte link up in teh first place.?? They are the most realiable Avatar site I know.?? They need to be careful, btu if they get something from nick saying it's okay, then ti should be all right.

    Who said HE with two L's? I don't go to any Avatar sites besides TV.com to get the airdates. Try to change your picture, it gives you some individuality.

    I, for one, feel absolutely no shame or regret in youtubing the episode before Friday. Commercials suck, and I would've missed out on some awesome scenes. Plus, I can rewatch it as many times as I want. And it was a very bad-ass episode. Also, Avatar has more than enough ratings.

    If that was directed at me, I certainly have a conscience. I don't kill people. I don't try to cause permanent bodily harm. My conscience just tends not to apply in situations regarding stealing from vast international corporations when unenforceable copyright laws are involved.

    I would certainly like to be??convinced otherwise.
