    I have know idea where some of this is coming from, but then again I haven't been a member all that long.?? (By the way, the comments were funny)

    Anyway, "Sleep like Mother" Ursa made a criticle decision like Zuko did.?? Could she have fallen to the illness??? If she did, I think she listened to the blue dragon.??

    In some other thread we brought up the old shows we used to love. I just picked up the series. PrimoNation has been singing all day long, I wanted to keep that up. Hence, my rambling.

    Oh, and whiskey also plays a part. Hic.

    Metallica is overrated. Sure they were good, but for the love of god, retire while you still have laurels!

    You too, Madonna. What the hell? Do you still have an age, or is just a symbol now?

    That's not true, they hit there targets alot of the time, it's the fatal ones that miss.

    No, EVERY time Mai throws her little arrows of doom or spiky things or whatever, they eaither just get smacked away, miss, or pin someone's clothes down to a fricken tree. Ty Lee is the only one who can hit someone in the cut a few times, but god forbid one of Mai's arrows hit a leg or arm of something. Don't show it on camera, but have someone get hit. Same thing for Azula, all her fire never really hits anyone, beside Iroh and maybe one or two other instances.

    I recall in "Appa's Lost Days" Mai threw a handful of arrous at a Kyoshi warrior pinned to a tree. We never did see those land, so that might imply something.

    Oh, and anyone rember this one?

    Since the dragon had Azula's voice I'm thinking Zuko subconsciously blames Azula for her disappearence...and futher proves to me that Azula represents his struggle...did anyone in here watch Justice League Unlimited? I remember this episode where in the very start of the??episode??"Dead Recokoning"??you see a character shoot another point blank in the face and he falls dead...they probably got through censors by not showing the man's upper body, but they did show him falling down, and it's pretty obvious Devil Ray(the guy who shot him) killed him...now while I'd LOVE to see something like that happen...we'll be forced to see Mai pin people to trees...maybe she'll actually nick someone's arm...

    I don't think Ursa is dead, but because this was in Zuko's dream, he probably believes that she is, and that Azula is somehow responsible.??I hope somewhere in season??3 we'll be able to see Zuko's mother alive.??God, it's so annoying having to speculate, I wish they would just tell us what happened already.

    Zuko's dream was so confusing, but you could be right.

    BTW, Jake (pooldude256) did say that the 'pool' part means the game.

    I thought so... (about 'pool' in pooldude).... starts to hum "Mack The Knife"

    as for Ursa... I had a theory about this awhile back on the thread listed below.. check it out if you like:

    I think that the "don't close your eyes so you know what's going on" theory is 2nd most accurate to the sleep=death thing. What if azula somehow killed Ursa?

    They didn't say that one. But Kyoshi in Avatar Day did say murder I believe. *clears wax out of ears*

    I thought she said, "Yes I did it. I killed Chin, the Conquerer."?? and then went on about her people ....

    yes/no?

    they did say murder in The Northern Air Temple.

    Katara's kid: Mama, where do babies come from?
    Katara: Uhhh...The show won't let me say, so go ask your father.

    Okay they said murder, killed, and in the first episode Katara said died-which is closed to death. Also, "we lay you to rest," in Zuko Alone kinda shouts someone died. So I think everything was mentioned except sex.

    As for the Sleep like mother thing, I think MAYBE Ursa is dead and Azula had something to do with it. I wouldn't put it passed her.

    let's recap... we've had died, death (I think), sexist, killed, kill and even 3 drops of blood across Zuko's head when Azula scratched him in the "Avatar State"..... overall its been a good season for walking the wire....

    what can we expect from the finale and season 3... it can only get more realistic... I thank the writers and animators for their creativity with every situation and hope they continue not only bringing us intrigue with the storyline but imagination with they way the are manipulating the ratings system??
