    The lyrics to Iroh's song! (They may not be exact, but it's close)

    BTW (For Slugg)... it's pentatonic. Starts off C-D E A G

    It's a long, long way to Ba Sing Seh

    But the girls in the city, they look so pretty

    They kiss so sweet, you'll really want to meet

    The girls from Ba Sing Seh!


    Boy, who knew Iroh was such a good singer? He should try out for Fire Nation Idol.

    I wonder if Iroh ever had a romance with an Earth Kingdom woman. After hearing that song I can't help but wonder.

    AWESOME Episode yet again, like the "Return to Omashu" I felt that it was starting to foreshadow upcoming events and new powers. I love the blue spirit theme by the way. I kinda felt bad for Sokka though

    "I saw Yue, I think about her a lot"

    Oh and Iroh's song he shoudl be the next William Hung
    The first thing I thought of was SAVE A HORSE RIDE A COWBOY
    hhaha poor Zuko, his pride can't take anymore bruising

    *exhales* Ahhhhhhhh....... Now I can finally discuss this episode.
    Big spoilers below, if you didn't see the episode then too bad for you, exit now.

    So... that ending was kind of a big cliffhanger. Why did Zuko return as the Blue Spirit, and what exactly is he planning to do? (If he knows, ha) I've come up with four possibilities in no particular order, some are much more likely than others in my opinion:

    1. He will simply use it as a disguise so that he can steal whatever he and Iroh need. That way he won't have to deal with people's handouts and his uncle's begging.

    2. He has decided to go help Aang, possibly to protect him from Azula.

    3. He has decided to go capture Aang. The Blue Spirit persona would be a good way to do that, since Aang would probably assume that Zuko was there to help and would choose to trust him.

    4. He's going to turn into some sort of vigilante-justice and/or Robin Hood kind of guy, stealing from or fighting the rich and powerful (be they Fire Nation or Earth Nation) to help people like Song.

    Please discuss and share your thoughts.

    Hmm, you never know what he will do. But, all we know, is that the Blue Spirit is back, and he is going to do...something. Oh, and this episode was awesome because it had rednecks!*Squeals* Sorry, they had southern accents, or at least to me, and I have an accent similar to theose guys.

    Loved the rednecks. Although it sounded like a lot of people I know. Looks like Katara and Sokka have new family members.

    Since the other thread was locked, I'm going to re-post my reaction here. And then I'm going to bed @.@

    So, as previously stated:

    OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD!!!!!!!

    *deep breath* okay, I FINALLY got to see the swamp. LOVED IT. One of the best in the season so far!!! I'll get to my opinions on the plotline and stuff later, but those of you who know me a little bit probably can guess what my favorite part was:
    That's right, RETURN OF THE BLUE SPIRIT!!!! I've been waiting for this for so long! I'm seriously happy beyond all belief right now, I'm so happy I could CRY. My brother said he looked over at me during the last few seconds of the episode when we see the guy in the alleyway, and he could see this gigantic grin slowly spreading across my face XD *sigh* so happy...

    Obviously, The main plotline was great also. I LOVE the whole "being connected with the earth" lesson. Being into environmentalism, (don't call me a hippie, I swear, I'll come after you >D) I obviously thought that it's definitely a lesson that many people need to learn.
    Is anyone else scared by that little screaming bird?
    Oh, and I LOVE the idea that waterbenders can bend plants with high water content. Never thought of that one. I knew that masters could control people with the water in their bodies, but not plants. Oh, and the koi/crocodile cross was awesome XD

    And KATARA. Man, she was just AWESOME in that episode. I'm loving the fact that she's finally getting the chance to show off her waterbending skills.

    Oh, and also, no one else seemed to point this out: I think that it would have been obvious to lots of people that the female airbender mentioned on the ATLA TCG site is the most likely culprit to be the person Aang saw in the swamp. The tornado? The flying pig? Come on!
