I'll probably have to put my flame shield on for this one, but honestly, I was a bit disappointed with the finale.

With all the build up with Aang stressing over how he was going to defeat the fire lord without killing him, to have the Lion Turtle just come in randomly and give him a way out seemed like a cop out by the creators because they couldn't have Aang kill anybody considering its made for nick, which is a children's network.

Another thing that makes me question the Lion Turtle is that the Avatars have been around for thousands of years, and the ones that Aang recalled when he was on the Turtle, Roku, Kyoshi, and the air and water ones, had no idea what the turtle was. In all their thousands of years the creators want you to believe that NONE of the avatars in the past came into contact with a giant floating island?

Also, Aang being able to go into the avatar state seemed like the creators were trying to have their cake and eat it too. The guru said that unless Aang gave up Keitara he would not be able to go into the Avatar state again, yet simply because he hit a rock he was able to go into the state? Even if he had a physical barrier or whatever, wouldn't that mean all that time ago when he was woke up by Keitara he wouldn't have known who she was? Because he went into the Avatar state, which means he should have forgotten who she was, right?

Just a few things that struck me, I'm a big avatar fan, so I'd appreciate it if you guys didn't flame me for having a different opinion than you.

Oh, and another thing, I was a big Zutara shipper, so I didn't like that either. I thought that Aang would have gone into avatar state to fight Ozai, and then finish him off in some insane way, like making a volcano explode near them or something, and that would leave Zuko open with Keitara.

I also found it weird that the Order of the White Lotus was able to retake Ba Sing Se even when it had (presumably) hundreds of fire benders at their strongest states. I mean, I understand that the benders that were there, Iroh, Pakku, and the others, were very strong, but the comet allowed the fire benders to completely annihilate the air benders, who weren't exactly weak, and yet during the comet the White Lotus, which didn't have THAT many benders, was able to defeat the fire bending army that was supercharged.
