    I really thought this episode was good too. It wasn't pointless, but it was diffrent from a real episode, which was a nice change. But is it just me or has Aang learned earthbending a little quickly, compared to water? Then again, Toph is a master, and Katara wasn't at first. What do ya'll think?

    Although some people say she was more of a one-shot character, I agree with you that she'll come back. Maybe not soon, but I think she will eventually make a reoccurence. I mean, Zuko obviously liked the girl (they kissed, right? I'm pretty sure he liked her...), and the girl liked him. *sigh* I am proud to say that I am now a proud Jinko...er...Jenko? Zujin? Zujen?....you get it! I support THEM!
    I heard it was call zin and I'm one to it like a infection or something everybody is turing into a zin shipper it kinda scary but I'm glade to say I was the first to be it !

    I know! That was some pretty intense earthbending...I was surprised, considering also that Aang had started waterbending WAY earlier, when Katara wasn't even a master, so it was weird seeing him get it so quickly. That's a very interesting question...it makes you wonder.....

    I noticed that too. It was weird cuz he was struggling with it compared to water. Hmm maybe Toph drills him until he gets it right-perfect. W/E.

    they did have someone else do Iroh's voice for a small part of the episode. I wouldn't be suprised if they do this for a scene or two in some of the upcoming episodes to try and get us used to a new voice, or maybe they'll use multiple voices and see if they get some feedback on who the fans like best.

    All in all the episode was ok. For the most part I guess you can say it was mostly filler because there probably isn't a lot that will be drawn on from this episode in the future as far as story goes (except for Zuko, Iroh's, and the end of Momo's story). However, it did serve the purpose of more character development for most of the characters if you really are interested in how they're growing, and how they think about certain things and that type of thing. In the final story, where a piece of Appa's hair landed on Momo in the beginning of the ep, and then Momo lying in one of Appa's footprints at the end pretty much foreshadows that Appa is most likely in the city somewhere.

    This episode was awesome! I loved it

    Aang earthbending the zoo was awesome, and there were some pretty hilarious scenes. Especially the haiku battle, and Zuko telling Iroh in the beginning that Jin was onto them, knew they were fire nation, and not to look. There were a few really sad moments also: Especially Iroh half crying, half singing on his son's birthday, the tribute to Mako. And, the last scene too where Momo, clutching Appa's fur, was curled up in Appa's footprint, I think it was. This was a great episode, the seperate story setup worked well. I'll probably rewatch this episode a billion times XD

    An amazing episode.

    Seeing Aang and Sokka shave was so funny.....

    I almost cried when Iroh spoke to his son.

    Brave soldier boy, comes marching home.

    We will remember you, Mako.
