    By the way, Katra and Toph's makeup was...overstated.

    So we're all sold that this was NOT a filler episode right? cuz remember the Squad is gonna be in Ba Sing Se a while...and we now know what they've been up to all this time...but I wonder...where was the Dai Li? Aang and his sqaud were supposed to be under constant watch...we didn't??see any??but I'm certain they were there...

    Gee you people, I thought is was OK, but dam if there was ever a avatar episode consisting of nothing but poo in a stick you people would likely praise it.

    I did like this quote:
    Jen: What wrong?
    Zuko: its complicated.

    I thought the next words in the scene was going to be: I'm gay.

    also It still said that mako was the voice for "uncle" but there was one scene were I could sware the voice sounded diffrent.


    .....it would count on what type of stick it was.....

    lol Zukos not gay he's just..............confused


    a fig branch, confused eeh, would it be that he's bi or that he still has horrible thoughts of when azula...


    Com'on - do we have to speculate every character that isn't gagging for it is gay?

    With an uncle like Iroh and a sister like Azula you can understand why Zuko would be a little odd with the ladies!


    yeah what cartoongal said.


    I can understand Azula, but what's wrong with Iroh? How should Iroh being a flirt affect his relation with the ladies?

    Zuko's not gay...the guy's just awkward around females...and he can't exactly let ppl get to close to him... he's hiding a big time secret...he took a HUGE risk Firebending out in the open like that though...but since no one saw it(that we know of) no harm no foul...

    Also Zuko's Firebending skills seem much more percise. Though we havent seen him bending Iroh must be somehow teaching him..

    Zuko and Jin was cute together, i think that was really risky to firebend though
    I was SO sad for Iroh...
    and momo kinda sad for him too
    aangs was just kind of random
    and Katara's and Tophs was interesting

    I say stupid things in front of guys that make me seem really weird all the time, but that doesn't make ME gay Zuko's just a normal person who acts really dumb in front of the opposite sex.

    I'm surprised no one brought up how close Katara and Toph were getting

    wow, what an amazing episode. I really enjoyed this episode throughout, and I really didnt want it to end. It was really well done, and every tale was incredibly watchable. There are so many nice moments, i'd like to just list a couple that stick out since i just finished watching it:

    1. Iroh's tale moved me the most. I feel sad for him that his son died, and even sadder that Mako has now left us. [Sigh] It just isnt the same knowing that Mako isn't around anymore. It's kinda sad everytime you see Iroh, you're reminded that Mako isn't with us anymore...

    2. Katara had a beautiful moment with Toph, saying that "[she's] really pretty"

    3. Loved when Aang gave those animals a newfound freedom (using another impressive display of earthbending of course). I really hate it when animals are neglected or abused, GO Avatar.

    4. Ah Zuko, troubled troubled Zuko. I thought this was his greatest display of character yet, he really doesn't get a chance to make others happy. Last time he treated an Earth boy like his brother, and the boy 'stabbed' him in the back after he found out he was fire nation. Zuko even took the risk of exposing himself as a firebender just to make the girl happy. A really nice moment between Zuko and Jen.

    5. Momo's tale saddened me as well, again reminding us of a lost member. I really liked how the hounds led momo to a footprint of appa, sucks that momo didnt realize it.

    6. Sokka's tale wasnt bad, my least favorite in this very strong episde. it showed his cleverness and i love how he showed up that snobby lady.

    From favorite tale to least favorite (but still awesome) my order is:

    1. Zuko
    2. Iroh
    3. Katara/Toph
    4. Aang
    5. Momo
    6. Sokka

    Do the authorities in Ba Sing Se not mind that Aang ruined some of their farmland?

    oh two more things i need to mention:

    1. Zuko's not gay He kissed the girl back after she kissed him if you
    gaysayers noticed. He just met this chick and he's going throught the
    worst of times. He risked his neck firebending for her too.

    2. Filler or not, this episode was excellent. Personally, I dont think it was filler, it was a great way to show how the characters are doing in this huge city. They aren't traveling so they dont need to stick together anymore, the 'tales' format couldnt have been used better. Loved this episode.

    Totally agree.?? It's amazing how a few short, little stories can change and deepen the characters and their relationships so much.?? Every story made me feel like crying a little except for you-know-who!?? The Sokka scene has the most hilarious thing I have seen in quite some time... maybe it's extra funny because I'm a teacher??? "Uh, that's one too many syllables, there, bub..."

    Iroh---"If only I could've helped you..."?? Oh man...

    I felt happy and very sad for Zuko.?? That post-date shot where he opened the partition was the saddest expression I've ever seen on his face-- like it suddenly hit him all at once, all the stuff he's been missing.?? ?? The Toph-Katara and Momo scenes made me feel sad too.??

    Aang's apparently been practicing his earthbending??? ?? Well, if Ba-Sing-Se's wall goes down Aang can just whip 'em up a new one.??

    By the way... I don't have any special feelings for or against Wikipedia, but I just have to point this out since Wiki's been bashed so much on here... Jin and Zuko were eating what looked like... spaghetti and meatballs?

    THANK YOU! You wrote what was in my mind after watching the episode.

    My favorite was Zuko's. You're right; he doesn't really get to make anyone happy, and in his tale he had a sort of heart of gold.

    Iroh's tale was very sad and touching... IN HONOR OF MAKO, that was really nice they way they played it in contrast of his tale. Although at one point in Iroh's tale, when he saw the kids playing "soccer", his voice sounded a bit different.

    I completely agree with you. And I'd like to add that no other episode as a whole had surprised me as much as this one (in a good way).
