    Stop saying that! It's spamming now!

    "Hello my name is Inigo Montoya.?? You killed my father.?? Prepare to die."

    Sorry, just to perfect to not quote "princess bride"

    ?? (best movie ever besides "Blazing Saddles")



    Amen to that!

    People don't let your fandom blind you, the episode was not the good!
    It was awesome, and I'll tell you why like it with as little bias as I possible can.

    Action- 10/10. Right in the beginning (or at least near), the whole group against a kingdom. Aang and Toph using all their earthbending to deflect the soldiers attacks while Katara and Sokka took out the soldiers. Nothing was lacking in this fight.
    Comedy- 8/10. Sokka actually being positive. Katara and Sokka constantly saying sorry in the middle of the fight. The Earth King being pretty naive about so many public things. Long Fend trying to cover up against Aang and Gang, and Long Feng's robes blew up by Aang. Sokka acting like a happy girl and kissing Katara when she offered to stay and let him go.
    Story
    - 10/10. Zuko's crisis/dreams. The difficulty of convincing the king. Azula inside Ba Sing Se! Toph captured. And we can't forget, the Aang Gang splitting up!
    Come on. It wouldn't be a good prequel to the season finale if it didn't rouse questions to be answered in the finale, right?

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

    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.


    Yes, but is it like Azula to just leave allies of the Avatar knocked out somewhere?

    Yeah, it's not like Azula to leave loose ends. But you can't toss out the possibility, however small it is.

    i agree with u guys and also with windseeker15, this is the most predictable episode i've ever watched for Avator. Such as the 3 girlrs as Kyoshi warriors, and toph got kidnapped, and Long Feng's warriors will stand by his side for Long Feng's comeback. compare with the previous episodes, there are more childish stuffs going on with a lot of wasting time for the first 15 minutes of the episode, and only at the last minutes they try to fit in everything. not only that, they try to bring back in whatever suspense from the previous epidose, only at the last minute. well~~ what can i say, this is from Nick. Even if it is that predictable, i still love avator, i'll watch again at 11, i missed the first 10 minutes and also most of the preview. i only catch the glimpse of Zuko and Katara standing together. and another thing which really annoys me about today's avator's show was the two skinny annoying girls (who are the announcers during the commercial break, they are just trying to advertise their own new upcoming show @ the nick). i 4got their names since i don't even pay attention. i was like what dha heck?!!! i was like just shud dha heck up and show us the avator! they were like yup yup yup~~ blah blah blah~~ i was like whatever~~ u don't have to try so hard ladies.

    By the end of the season, will the gang be back together, (maybe with a new member)? I hope so, I don't want it to be a long story arc of them finding each other, we just went throught that with Appa.

    Stay together, and kick some Fire Nation butt.

BUT then KATARA KISSED HIM IF ONLY ON THE CHEEK KATAANG WILL LIVE ON FOREVERRRRRRRR!!!! YEA!!!!!!!!!! Omg, zuko's little spaz dreams were so cool, i started thinking, the dragon of the west is iroh, and he was a red dragon, but azula was a blue dragon, possibly dragon of the east????? oooooo how exciting!!!!! i was totally just expecting his scar to dissapear when he got up and wahsed his face (i didn't even realize it was a dream till he woke up), i didnt expect aang's arrow on his head, wow, talk about surprising you!!!!!! i loved the "yea girls are waiting for us..." soo cute! i love aang. and then like AZULA AND MAI AND TY LEE TOTALLY LIKE KILLED SUKI OR SOMETHING AND STOLE THEIR UNIFORMS AND FRICKEN GOT INTO BA SING SE!!!!!!!!!! OMG SHE IS SO MUCH BETTER THEN ZHAO, SHE IS AMAZING!!!!!! but think, sokka said that the warriors were "trustworthy" and he made a special point about it, so when he kind of goes back on his word about who they are, i dunoo, someone finish, i started it!!!! holy crap, over all, it doesn't beat siege of the north, but the last 10 or 15 minutes wipes it away in a land slide!!!!!! holy crap that was awsome.........wooooooo

    Something has been bothering me since "The Drill". Why don't the earth benders (or in "The Drill" Toph specifically) sink the drill into the ground and close the earth over it? In the drill, if toph had dropped the earth below the drill it would have started to drill down instead of toward the wall. Similarilly, if the Dai Li wanted to get rid of the drill, why not just bury it?

    I know, I'm glad I actually had to suffer through the Neutron show. Otherwise, I, and the VCR recording the show, would have missed the first 10 minutes. Then I would have to wait until tomorrow to catch what I missed. Quit doing that Nick!

    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.


    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.
