    Here is another thought:
    (mah have been said before)

    in the last part(part 3) of ep 21: Avatar Aang
    at 03:34 you can see in front of the palace 4 columns of people.
    Right:red- fire
    middle right: blue- water
    middle left: green- earth
    Left?????
    Could it be the missing airbenders or something.
    Just a theory.

    Ok.... i think the lion turtle said something about a way for Aang to find another way to handle the outcome of his fight with Ozai(?). I think he said something like,"Back before the time of the Avatar, we bended our energy." Which makes sense seeing how previously Aang learned that "everthing is connected". That would also lead me to believe that is how the lionturtle found Aang to begin with and knew where to take him.

    Overall, I enjoyed everything about this show. I love how a thirty minute cartoon (maybe 20 after commercials), can have so much information and lets you imagine the outcome. But then, you get to see it! Simply AMAZING!!!

    After thought: The fight between Zuko and Azula was done perfectly imo. I mean, the violin music in the background with no firebending noise or fight move sounds was beautiful. However, I knew Katara would eventually be the one to take down Azula.

    really? i was a little dissapointed with katara, i kept shouting at the screen, waterbend!!!!! take her ass down! god katara has so much potential to be used in that final, an they showed her like they did back in season 1, before she found pakku! weak!! she got less air time than toph and sukki! toph by the way shouldl have died, would have been a nice sacrifice/heroic death! still amazing finale tho! loads more potential to take it further tho!

    So! Two things. 1) Kinda annoyed that there was no Epilogue/as a result no acknowledgement of the fact that the cycle's broken... in regard to the four tribes since there won't be another air bender.... At least as far as the show's concerned. (I've got my own thoughts on this... such as air bender's existing but just not knowing it...Which seems possible since they were monks they theoretically didn't have children of their own, and yadda yadda yadda....)

    2) Beyond that? There were only two major character stories resolved. Zuko (to the greater extent) and Aang (which was basically Katara kissing him and him winning... Which where, by the way, was the spirit world in all this? He's supposed to be a bridge! Let him support!!)

    Okay so that was really secretly like 7 things, but alas... I just felt the need to vent somewhere. And there ya go.

    Wait, no. One final thing. For an Epilogue I would have loved a montage of still shots... or to have a final narration by one of the couple's grand kids to a dying from old age Aang or Toph (who's story.. yeah not finished AT ALL). Somehow that would have felt more complete to me.

    It seems to me they almost needed one more full ep to finish up everything... sigh.

    What the Lion Turtle said:

    (This is the scene where Aang first meets the lion turtle)

    Lion Turtle: The true mind can weather all the lies and illusions without being lost. The true heart can touch the poison of hatred without being harmed. Since the beginnings of time, darkness thrives in the void, but will always yeild to purified light.

    (This is during the scene where Aang has his hands on Ozai's forhead and chest)

    Lion Turtle: In the era before the avatar, we bent not the elements but the energy within ourselves. To bend another's energy, your own spirit must be unbendable or you will be corrupted and destroyed.

    I agree. I wanted Katara to just mop up on Azula, but she was taken off guard, trying to help Zuko and Azula had the comet. Hehe, Azula charging up her lightning bolt while dancing on the roof and then shooting in a very laid back manner proves she was a bit overpowered at the time. Katara had to outwit her.

    The reason i felt Katara would take down Azula was the whole balancing of the elements. The whole earth/air and water/fire deal.

    That would never work against Azula who had the comet to tip the scales in her favour.

    I'm really surprised at how many people didn't like Katara beating Azula.

    Zuko may not have beaten her, but still proved himself the better man, er, person, by risking his life to save Katara's.

    In a finale which had nearly all the main characters beat their opponents with sheer overwhelming force, Katara was the only person pitted against a far more powerful opponent. In many ways, it actually made her victory all that more impressive; winning with brain over brawn.

    and look at it this way; what would have sucked more, Katara getting her shot at Azula, or Katara quite literally pushed to one side, watching from the sidelines and doing nothing while Zuko wins the day by himself?

    I thought it was an amazing finale.

    I watched it on YouTube (darn living in England) just now and I'm pretty sure I shouted a lot of things out. I know that when Zuko intercepted the lightning blast for Katara, I was sitting there with my mouth open I also shouted 'swearword!!' a lot, seeing as it wasn't really the best thing to actually swear with my mum in the next room XD

    Everything ended quite predictably (apart from the Ty Lee/Kyoshi Warriors thing...which I loved ) but I don't really have a problem with that. I'm a little surprised that no one died, but other than that the ending wasn't that much of a shock. I still don't like Maiko (but I know that if they'd done a couple of background episodes in the sereies instead of just shoving it in the magazine and then saying 'yeah, they're together now!' then I'd feel differently). Kataang had a sweet moment at the end, and I really liked what Katara was wearing

    All in all, I'm not disappointed. I'm about every other emotion under the sun, but not disappointed

    actually that may be true. There may actually be other air nomads.Secretly hidden.
    Either that or they will be Aang's descendents.

    No!

    That's it!

    I figured it out now!

    Aang with his newly acquired skill to spirit bend switched off Ozai's ability to Firebend. Probably Guru Patik can also do this.All the chakra talk hints something. Maybe Aang can turn some nonbenders into Airbenders the same way he turned Ozai into a nonbender. After what the Guru said( the thing that the boundary between the elements is a illusion.) he could probably turn some nonbenders into benders.Or some waterbenders into airbenders(waterbenders are most likely to share the philosophies of airbenders)

    Another theory.

    P.S. I would really like to see an epilogue!!

    Nice theory, do you reckon Sokka may be given waterebnding or with this power Aang may be able to make benders control all elements.
