    If episode 19 is called The Guru, and episode 20 title hasn't been released...if it was an hour finale, wouldn't it be The Guru part 1 and 2??? Is there going to be a half hour finale this time?

    Guys just because the second haft hasn't been updated doesn't mean...okay let's put it this way the season one finale originally was this

    1.19 The Water Tribe

    1.20 The Seige

    But they were re confirmed as "Seige of the North" so quit worring.

    The rest of the season will probably be in Ba Sing Se, its the most time they've spent in one place in the whole series. They were only at the North Pole for 3 episodes. Does the Drill count though, they werent really in the city, just defending it

    P.S. I dont think they got any thanks for saving Ba Sing Se from the Fire Nation's trump card

    ??

    Yes, but they had reached their destination, so IMO, it counts.

    I don't know about everyone else, but I think of all the last 3 episodes of Season 1 as one story/saga, and most of the movie makers on youtube who make trailers for "Siege of the North" use eps 18-20, even though only 19 and 20 were officially the two-parter. Avatar isn't structured like other Nick cartoons; its structured more like authentic anime: one continuous story told in segments, every episode a cliff hanger to some degree. Regardless of whether or not the Season 2 finale officially stretches across 1 or 2 episodes, Season 2 is, when you think about it, one 20-episode long arc, just like Season 1.

    So I don't think it matters what they title the last episode or two of Season 2; it's all part of the larger story.??Avatar isn't??in the pattern of most American cartoons where plots are contained within episodes.

    I heard that Lake Laogai and The Earth King were going to be put into a 1 hour TV movie. It's not impossible, since both episodes have to do with finding Aapa and fighting the Dy Lee. I think that the season finale will have something to do after Aang finds Aapa, and Aang talks to the Guru, and the Fire Nation using the hot air balloon shown as the Fire Nation brining back at the end of a previous episode, and mabe making more of them to get into Ba Sing Se.

    It may be possible but I think it should be an hour long finale.

    It's not about seperating the last episode as a different plot. Everyone knows it's just part of the whole story. The question is what makes a bigger BANG at the end of the season, a half hour episode or an hour length episode. Personally I think a full hour would be a more satisfacting than half an hour. I DO NOT want to watch the two last episodes seperately. I would much rather watch the whole thing at once.

    We've been watching a 20-episode long "episode" for the past few months.

    Hmm. Good observations. But I think that Season II is several arcs, so that while overall Season II is much better, it's not as good as Season I in terms of a consistant arc.

    arc #1: Find an earthbending teacher (this could actually be considered two arcs, though: "find Bumi," and THEN "find an earthbending teacher")

    arc #2: Get the news of the eclipse to the Earth King, slash, find Appa who was kidnapped.

    I'm telling you, they're gonna meet up with the Guru, he'll tell Aang his great plan to Earthbend Sozin's Comet into the earth to destroy the Fire Nation and Aang will have to kill him. That's why it's not an hourlong episode.
