    Okay I know it is early to ask but when can I get season 3? I know, I know, I am being incredibly impatient. But you know you want it too. I just want a ball park. Should I get my hopes up for real soon or for in about 3 months or 6 months.
    The reason I ask is that, as any Avatar fan knows, the show's schedule is finiky. I remember Season 1 went on hiatus for seemingly forever, and then came back and finished the book. I remember everyone (at the time) considering season one over after episode 13 (the super kick ass, the Blue Spirit). Then 3 months later new episodes. Then after Book 1 ended, 4 months later season 2 starts up. Then after "the Desert" there was a 2 month hiatus. Then it picked up again. I am just saying kind of confusing. So is there any word at all.

    And if the creators of this show actually read these boards, I only complain because this show is so good. This is why people watch television. Characters that have depth and nuance, side characters that exist as more than extensions of the main characters, and surprises that astound, confound, and are profound. Also the whole asian themed culture and mythology make the show exotic and different, but the characters make it very accessable to an american audience.

    Any way, I gotta know what happens next.

    Yeah the show's schedule sometimes is very odd. I think maybe a month will have to go by until we can see new episodes. Till then they'll just repeat the episodes like they have done until now. Owell. That's what i think.

    The 3rd season will definetely start in March, if not sooner. They have been working on it since early June, you know....
    The reason season1 went into a haitus is that the producers were so overwhelmed?? that the show was so succesful, they wrapped up season 1 quickly and got work to season 2 earlier than normal.....

    Ugh...I'll say it again. The first episode of the new season won't even be COMPLETED until April. So that means no Avatar until at least late April/early May. At the moment of this post I have probably explained this 458 times in the last month or two. So we're looking probably at a minimum of 6 months waiting. Writing began in April, and the first ep won't be done til April '07, so a year of production for one episode makes me think we'll have one heckuva premiere!

    Also...reason for the other hiatuses. When Nick orders a show they only order 13 episodes to start, and based on ratings and stuff, they order more. I believe they actually ordered the backend of 7 episodes of Book 1 shortly after The Southern Air Temple aired in February, so I think we got The Fortuneteller right off of the production table. That's not official by any means, I've just been thinking that.

    Nick doesn't show new episodes during the summer anyway, except TV movies, which accounts for the hiatuses from spring to fall.

    Stop giving people heart attacks Freakish. It's a grim possibility with not much chance of happening I think. We'll have some new episodes before summer of next year I believe.

    well, we shouldn't push it. if we have to wait two more months for a much better episode, i would trade some wait time for it.

    Ooo, sneaky, pooldude XP?????? Thanks for giving the info, by the way. Now, I agree, if the first episode is going to take a year, imagine the finale! Dun, dun, dun. I'll just live off of fanfiction, threads, and mass viewing of episodes. But APRIL?? It's like SotFN all over...

    @Freakish: God da---Don't even joke! That'd be more than a year ;_;
