    Hey guys, I know this wont be respected considering my serious lack of posts; however, I registered just for this so I need to get this across. I was perusing Turbonick a few moments ago where I decided to click on the buzz button where there was an Avatar video. It was the long belated trailer for Friday night. Unfortunately, if this trailer is to be believed, as it should since it is from Nick themselves, then Lake Laogai will not air Friday night. They used the term catch up on what has happened in a special Avatar Nick Friday Nights. They showed clips from The Drill, City of Walls and Secrets, Tales of Ba Sing Sei, and Appa's Lost Days.

    So in short, it looks like we are going to have a two week hiatus of Avatar episodes as next week Nick will be airing their Halloween episodes. My prediction (which is based on nothing but pure speculation) is that Lake Laogai will air on Nov. 3, The Earth King on Nov. 17, a season 2 marathon on Thanksgiving like last year, and also very similiar to last year . . . the two part season finale running on Dec. 1.

    I hope I am wrong, but all evidence is to the contrary and I am sorry that my first and likely only post had to be so upsetting.


    I just saw the same video on Turbonick.

    According to Yahoo TV, this is the schedule for Friday night:

    8:00 - 8:30 PM Unknown Avatar episode

    8:30 - 9:00 Episode #214 "The Secret of Ba Sing Se" (description: "Aang and the children arrive in Ba Sing Se; Jet tries to find proof that Zuko and Uncle are Fire Nation.") Obviously this is referring to "City of Walls and Secrets"

    9:00 - 9:30     Episdoe #215 "Tales of Ba Sing Se" (description: "Short stories highlight the adventures of individuals in the city.")

    9:30 - 10:00 Episode #216 Title missing (description: "[no description available]"). This would be "Appa's Lost Days," of course.

    Then, on Saturday:

    11:00 - 11:30 AM Episode #216 Title missing (descriptoin: "[no description available]"). So, a repeat showing of "Appa's Lost Days."

    11:30 AM - 12:00 PM Unknown Avatar episode

    Because the Turbonick trailer showed "The Drill" as part of the marathon I'd suspect that this is the episode that goes in the 8 - 8:30 Friday night timeslot. As for what goes in the 11:30 - 12:00 Saturday morning timeslot, I have no idea.

    Pooldude, can you clear anything up?? : )

    According to Nick.com, the 8 PM episode is indeed "The Drill," and the Friday morning episodes are "Avatar Day" followed by "Appa's Lost Days."

    Does that help us in solving this mystery? hmm . . .

    He wouldn't be much of an earth king if he is trapped underground by his own subjects (he'd have to be horrible as an earth bender).

    Zuko's motives for whatever he does shall forever remain a mystery until it happens. Though he's rash and hopeful for his ex-life as we'd expect, he's been unpredictable.

    As for the Aang group and Jet reunion, I don't think there'll be a fight between them. I bet when they get over realizing who they just bumped into, Jet will tell them about Zuko and Iroh, or a least that there are fire benders in the city. What I'm wondering about is if Jet and Zuko will cross paths again. Since Jet's only concern is fire benders, he'll likely start another fight despite everything around him.

    But don't forget that Jet has been brainwashed. Meaning that the episode Lake Laogai could be completely. Which is what Avatar is known for. I honestly couldn't guess a single thing that has happened in the show so far except for things that Aang and Zuko say they will do like Aang going to the air temple.

    Its not that the earth king would be a bad earth bender to be captured but I'm sure that the earth king wouldn't suspect his cultural advisor to decieve and be plotting against him to take over the city. How ever feng was able to brainwash him I'm pretty sure that the earth king has been brainwashed because I seriously doubt the king could be so oblivious to the war and not care what is happening. I think that when aang meets with jet, the gang finds a way to snap jet out of his brainwashed state, thus revealing the location of the underground prison where appa also is. How ever jet was de-programmed I'm sure they find a way reach the earth king and also de-program him from his brainwashed state as well.

    Yeah, I say when we learn more about the Earth King and what happened to him, the story will get much better (yes that's possible lol) And I seriously doubt that Jet will be unbrainwashed within one episode. Something as shocking as brainwashing just won't go away in one episode. I know the creators will take full advantage of this situation. Also, I guarantee all of you that smeller bee and Jet's other friend will help get his memory back. I think the guy who doesn't talk will probably say something for the first time to help Jet's memory. Speaking of Jet's friends, does anyone have any clue on what happened to that fat kid?
