    Please, someone explain to me what a filler is. As I understand the narrow minded version is, "no fights". What, huladog123, is your definition of a "filler"? Why do u label this episode as such?

    for a full explanation of my views on fillers, go to my blog . I'd love to see what your point of view is.

    For most of us, the term "filler" refers to an episode that neither progresses the storyline nor offers any character development or character back story. These are the ones that could have been left out of the series without taking anything away from the series (if you missed one, it wouldn't matter). Normally, they're used by producers to fill out a season (to give 20 full episodes), hence the name filler.

    Actually, it probably wont be completely filler. Just the first half because they need to get on the island for a reason before the episode can actually begin.

    I think that this will be the episode with Jun in it because it's called "The Ember Island Players" and "Players" could mean gamblers, or the actors for that matter BUT I think it has to do with Jun.

    Also, Ember Island is the place where Azula, Mai, Zuko, and Ty Lee discovered more about themselves, so maybe that's what part of the play was about. To show them what they seem like to others. Of course, the play was made to humiliate them but whatever. I think that the gaang will discover more about themselves there as well.

    And about the Iroh visiting Lo and Li...I've always thought that Lo and Li were on the good side anyway, so I think that they are members of the White Lotus. Just a thought.

    The Ember Island Players will be much more than filler.

    Agreed. With everything in the Avatarverse that needs to be explained, there just isn't enough time and episodes to cram in a pure filler...

    Don't get me wrong though, I laughed my guts out when I was watching the Ember Island preview.

    Same here. Though, the fangirls screaming ruined it a little bit. And I couldn't hear some stuff. At least it was uploaded on YouTube so I could watch it again and try to listen for more stuff I missed before.

    I don't think it's going to be a "filler". It's the last episode before the finale; there's bound to be some pre-showdown drama. Sort of like NaD, but less lulz since most of the episode is already lulzy.

    But, does anyone feel bad about laughing at Yue's "death" or Jet. I mean, though they played it off as funny, do you think it was a little heartless playing Sokka's grief off as lulz?

    Though I was expecting no fillers from WAT to the finale I still think this is gonna be a great episode! It's just a funny recap from the episodes. I mean the 7 minute preview gave us the lolz and I'm sure we'll have time to cover the important stuff.

    It's only filler if it's boring. From what we've seen, EIP is most certainly not boring.

    I can't wait for this episode. If they are also going to do book 2, I can see Toph's actor as the original design for her in the begining credits. I bet she will get very mad about that. She might decide to destroy the whole house with an earthquake. That would be funny. All in all, can't wait for the many lulz to come.

    Crap. Seriously? Oh well, now I feel silly.
    Nevertheless, it'll be a great episode.

    But, to stay on that topic, I do hope we get another mention of Iroh toward the end or something. If not, I sense him only being there at the finale.

    I miss that old man.

    Maybe an update ob Iroh? Or an Azula story running parallel!

    Imagine if Ozai shows up to watch the end of the play! *sucks in breath*

    Ozai has a great "I'm being a jerk" laugh. I wonder what his "this is hilarious!" laugh sounds like. It seems like so far, Ursa is the only one in that family who isn't lulz (of course, we haven't seen her enough so you never know)

    I no rite? All of the fangirls were going 'aww' at Sokka crying, and for once I was joining them. This was an emotional and heart-breaking moment for Sokka and they just made a joke about it. Suki didn't even know the full story so she laughed along too.

    Actually, I found the Yue joke to be a bit corny. The only thing that I laughed at in that scene was when Sokka put his hand in Suki's face and said "Shooosh! I'm trying to watch." and Suki turns away in annoyance.

    Not the joke itself, the fact that they made her death funny seems a little mean.

    I'm bringing this up because someone on CAPSLOCK was wondering if that stuff (not the whole episode, just the Jet and Yue stuff) should be played off as funny. Sure the kids who are watching that episode are going to be like "LOL Toph's making fun of Katara because she had a boyfriend!" When the older fans are "Aw.. Jet.. D:"

    Maybe the Jet-haters aree going to find that hilarious, but some people are might take that pretty seriously.

    I for one laughed anyway though. It's going to be good episode; and it's going to be a fuller, not a filler!
