    Holy fires of heaven!!! My fracking' god, that was beyond genius! Things are going to be bam-bam-bam in the season finale. This was one frackin' episode. Katara! I knew she couldn't be trusted with that oasis water! So not a Zuko fangirl (well maybe a little, but the same could be for all the characters. I get worked up.) but why did he have to lose the scar. Al right, I already know the answer and in time I'll learn to live with it. Just go along with the story.

    Iroh's change of voice. Barely notice the difference. Didn't sound like Mako, but that was Iroh's spirit. I didn't particularly like seeing "Fire Lord Zuko." Just... the hair was a bit gay for me, and being a ruler has always been more of a desk job versus hands on work, which I prefer seeing heroes do. Hands on over desk job.

    TOPH!! Now I know where she went, but I'm sure Aang will go after her. He won't abandon a friend. I just hope she's rescued in the season finale. I don't want to see this carry into season three.

    ZUKO'S FACE!! THAT was what freaked the freakish child out. I'll stake my soul on it. Zuko joins the Aang Gang. We all see now he's actually an inner Avatard. That or the face he face was his and Aang's lovechild. I'm still not screaming Zutara yet. Let's wait and see if a triangle blossoms. Zuko and Katara could just reach out to each other like Aang and Toph did... Just someone gives you the chance you need. That doesn't promise love either, though. But television often likes to play off that. Yet shippers enjoy your moments, exclaim your happiness, write your insane fanfics, draw your heart-felt fanarts, and edit and paste your AMVs. I'll just ignore you.

    Look people, the episode was not that great: the first half with everything going there was annoying and the second half just left enough cliffhangers to make a whole mountain climbing expedition! This episode was designed to sucker you into the watching the season finally (like we were not going to watch it anyways)! There was no conclusion or resolution, no extensive character development only more questions and plot twist to be answered.

    First, take a deep breath.

    Second, remember if they showed it next week a lot of people in America wouldn't watch because they would be int transit to or from relatives houses for Thanksgiving.

    True.?? Thank you nick for not showing it next week.?? I am out of town and would have to fight my sister and her roommates for the t.v.?? Not a pleasant thought.

    Keep talking about the preview.?? I missed it.
    Okay, it showed Katara crying and holding her necklace and telling Zuko that the Fire Nation took her mother in a cave filled with crystals. Zuko replied that it's something they have in common. She puts her hand on his scar.(shudders and curls into a fetal position)

    ZOMG! I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!!! This episode was perfect! I'm practically wriggling with the anticipation for the next episode!!!

    Toph really kicked butt with Aang, I laughed each time Katara and Sokka kept saying sorry to the soldiers. The Earth King's personality reminds me of someone, especially when he rode Appa. I think it was that professor. It was so funny when Aang blew Long Feng's robes up. lol

    And inside Zuko's dream (and what was that said about it just recapping from Zuko Alone? ), I actually thought that was Ozai, then I heard Zuko talk and realized Zuko without a scar!!!

    When Toph knocked on the door, I realized what would happen. I kept having in the back of my mind, what about those who were tracking Toph? Then it struck me that is was a trap!

    The 'Kyoshi Warriors' completely threw me off. It wasn't until they bowed down I figured out it was Azula. I thought, 'Duh! That review at the beginning completely clued in on something that related to it!'

    Now, for the preview. Obviously, Zuko meets with Katara!!!!! And they talk about their past!



    Katara: *crying* The Fire nation took my mother.

    Zuko: That's the one thing we have in common...

    I wasn't surprised that their mother would be brought up between them.
    Poor Aang, thinking she'll be waiting. Imagine when he gets back and
    find Zuko and Katara together. Truthfully, I hope she doesn't cure his
    scar. But I remember the special water she was given in The Avatar
    State, and know that it would be used to do it. *sigh*



    Also, since Azula is now inside the kingdom (which I always thought
    she'd find a way in), it gives Zuko the chance to whip her a** when he
    changes!




    ZUTARA FOREVER!!!!

    CURSE ZUTARA!! LONG LIVE KATAANG!!

    Azula's plan was simple, yet effective. This is why I think she's more of an intimidating villain than Admiral Zhao was. She's a true badass, even though her two partners are a unenthusiatic, and ditzy. But, I still like Ty Lee and Mai.

    Speaking of Ty Lee and Mai, I would not be surprised, if Azula turns on them, and thinks their lack of heart to the cause as tression. I know at least Ty Lee is going to have a falling??out??with Azula, because of the way she joined Azula's group.??

    As far as Zuko and Katara, that is quite a conflict for poor Aang, espacially is Zuko is his??Firebending teacher. Zuko better be careful teaching firebender to Aang. He might have another scar.

    Though Zuko and Katara, sort of been done already, on American Dragon: Jake Long. The actors that play them, play a couple on that show. Does that count as being done? Like Richard Gere and Julia Roberts in "Runaway Bride", and Bill Cosby and Phyllis Richard on "Cosby."

    All it showed was Zuko and Katara in the so-called cave/forest??? I'll have to watch the two seconds that I taped again.?? It looked well-lit...romantically lit, with that soft-light effect.?? Katara said something and Zuko says softly??"that's one thing we have in common," and then the last shot (it looks like a still) is of the two of them standing together.?? And??wouldn't you know,??their relative positions are very similar to that famous scene in "The Waterbending Scroll", except she's looking at him and touching (or doing something to?) his scar...

    I agree with you. I hope that they have a better overall story outline for season 3. Personally, I think they wrote themselves into a corner trying to keep up with so many small plots and at the same time make the main plots interesting. Now they are at the end of the season and were probably told by the creator/main writer to wrap it all up to prepare for next season.

    Okay everybody calm down. Its near impossible to have a discussion whent here are 10 posts one the same subject all over the board.

    My personal opinion, the episode was not that good up until the last ten minutes or so, when the major stuff started happeneing.

    Lets review:

    1) Azula and company have infiltrated Ba Sing Se

    2) The Kyoshi warriors are either dead or captured

    3) Toph has been kidnapped

    4) Aang and Sokka have no idea what's happening back in the city

    5)Long Feng is gonna make a comeback

    And I missed next episode's preview so please stick to this episode - I'm irritated about that enough as is.

    One thing about the Kyoshi warriors. They could just be knocked out somewhere. Azula doesn't have to kill and capture them to take their outfits.

    *More spoilers, sorry, can't stop*

    *

    *

    Did anyone else see a lot of hints that Zuko's physical scar is also healing/fading/gonna be history real soon??? I first thought that when Iroh offered him a drink and he grabbed that bucket and drank the whole thing.?? I thought, "Wow, he sure is needing a lot of water...........ohhhhhhhhh......"?? Then the firelord scene where he has no scar (rrroooowwwrr!) and the scene where he washed his face and the scar is gone and then BAM!?? I almost screamed at the ZukAang thing.?? That was reaaallly freaky.
