    I don't buy that. When it looked his Di Lee were defeated, Long Feng immedatly ran for the hills - and don't give me any crap about "seperating them", there isn't any way he could have known who was follwing him, or that some of Aang's people were still left behind. Not to mention that he was content to stand back and let brainwashed Jet do all the fighting for him. Even when Jet shook it off, Long Feng still didn't stick around to fight - he attacked once, just once, and then proceded to get the heck out of Dodge.

    *gets into Zen mode*

    A wise man knows the time??to fight, or for flight.

    Neutrality requires inaction.

    It's only a two second trailer, there's a thread with the video on it up, it says "The Earth King trailor" or something like that, you'll know it when you see it.

    lol... that sucks,

    And to add to the Long Feng discussion, he reminds me an awful lot of Emperor Palpatine (Star Wars, Avatar and Ketchup theroys again )?? Anywho, Palpatine won almost an entire war by words, yes he did some fighting himself, and is incredibly powerful.... but he had so many people under his control, and manipulated some very powerful Jedis Knights into his apprentcies (Anakin, Darth Maul, Count Dooku, Mara Jade) Definiately a force to be reckoned with

    Here's something that I've been wondering about since "City of Walls and Secrets":

    What if there is no Earth King and Long Feng is pretending there is so he can remain in power. By "no Earth King" I mean that the Earth King is dead, in prison, or somehow no present in Ba Sing Se. Or if he is, he is someone we have already been introduced to but did not address himself as the Earth King (maybe the man who live across the street from the gang?). The man who was in the portable-throne-thing with the curtains was either a statue or a random person dressed up as the Earth King. Long Feng is keeping this a secret because if everyone finds out, a new Earth King will be appointed and he will no longer have power.

    Interesting theory, but it seems a bit too far-fetched for my tastes. And we did see the Earth King in the 10 second preview for 'The Earth King,' (rather dashing if I do say so myself ) so obviously, there is a King in Ba Sing Se. From the looks of him, he seemed rather young, so I think that Long Feng inserted crazy ideas into his head about the gAang, and about making Ba Sing Se a utopia.

    And also, regarding the brain-washing, I think that Long Feng is keeping those kinds of details away from the king. I do think the King just wants no one to know of the war, but Long Feng went ahead and went to the extreme by starting all of the brain-washing.

    And sorry if what I said seemed a bit jumbled; I'm sick and I should be in bed.

    Well the question may be how does Long Feng insert crazy idea's and thw whole "I'll loose control of the Earth King" thing was a metephore?? he smiply means he won't have any influance once the Earth King has to get up and see whats really happening. But I wonder if Long Feng has a back up plan to this if Aang gets to the Earth King and advices him do you think Long Feng will brainwash him?

    You mean, "how does long feng" insert his crazy idea's into the king? I don't think it would be all that difficult.?? You know the phrase - Ignorance is bliss??? I think that the earth king is indeed young and impressionable.?? It wouldn't be all that difficult to keep him "occupied" with lots of pampering (i.e. elaborate parties for pet bears) and leaving all the "nasty" details of the war to a minimum. That may be why it is illegal to mention the war...perhaps the king is completley ignorant..or at least ignorant to actually how bad it has become outside his walls.?? Long Feng is controlling the king by censoring all the information that comes to him and keeping everyone else who might "corrupt" his view point at arms length. (which is why the avatar wasn't allowed to speak to the king)

    As for long feng brainwashing anyone again...I'm not sure it's going to happen.?? I'm not saying that I'm going to be silly enough to say that long feng is long gone. (although it would be a fitting end) I just don't think he will be the same ...type of threat that he was before.?? I wish that the avatar had completley destroyed lake logai...it would have certainly made sure that such a henious plot wouldn't occur again...or at least anytime soon.
