1. They have had so many "You/I almost died" moments. I think that, if she had any feelings for him, she would have forced herself to say it out of fear of one of them dying without her telling him.
2. If the writers have Aang beat Ozi without the avatar state, then the entire purpose of it was meaningless. The fight that's been hyped up is Comet Ozi vs Avatar State Aang. He CANNOT beat Comet Ozi without the avatar state so he'd have to beat him before the comet arrived. That nullifies the most anticipated fight.
3. She's never wrong with her predictions. That was the point of the whole episode.

1. DoBS: No smile after the kiss. That would have been the first time in the AtLA universe that two people who were in love didn't smile afterwards. They wouldn't break the formula.
Cave: Let's kiss or we're stuck in here forever isn't love.
2. Then why not have Aang learn about the Guru and the way to control the AS after he mastered fire bending? That way, they could make it so that he didn't have to give up Katara.
3. I said that no one has been referred to as "very powerful bender". The point of me stating that was that it solves the riddle.
Katara's fortune: husband=VERY powerful bender
Aang's fortune: No love
Sokka's statement: Aang= one/what a powerful bender.
What all of us looked at was: [Husband = powerful bender = Aang] But [Aang = No love in future] which meant [Aang =/= Katara's husband = powerful bender = Aang]. That doesn't make sense.
However, if one looks at it like this, it makes sense: [Aang = powerful bender] and [Aang = No love in future] [Husband = Very powerful bender =/= Aang]
The battle at Ba Sing Se was for the Earth Kingdom. Aunt Wu specifically said that it would deside the fate of the entire world. Also, Zuko one upped Aang the last time they fought at CoD. So, if Aang is a powerful bender, that makes Zuko at least a powerful bender as well. Remember, I know Zuko has also yet to be called a very powerful bender, I'm just saying that this solves the inconsistency of the fortuneteller episode.

1. I've never argued that Katara doesn't hate Zuko for now. However, "In the middle of it"? They've been travelling together for like a year now. Face it, the kid is stuck in the friend zone.
2. I would agree with you, if it wasn't for what was said in the show. I mean, did you miss it or something? The Guru asked Aang what attaches him the most to this world and he thought of Katara. That's pretty cut and dry. Plus, when he tried going into the AS at Ba Sing Se, he let her go and went super-saiyan. Katara is what he has to let go. There is no argument there.
3. Ok, first of all, if it was the most powerful, why not say that? Second, it's not splitting hairs or clutching straws. Her predictions are worded so exactly that anything added or subtracted by opinions or assumptions makes it wrong. Third, as I said before, assuming that Aunt Wu only missed the love part of Aang's future and was in too much of a shock to think to have him throw another bone on the fire and she'd look for it that time, why not say that at the end of the episode? They'd been there for at least a day or two. She seemed pretty calm by the end and Aang reminding her about it would have triggered her to remember to have him try it again. She didn't see anything about love because she looked and it wasn't there.
