    Thats because the writers just needed to get rid of everyone but the gaang plus sukki. Wait come to think of it nothing happened with Chit Sang what a waste.

    the preview didn't show as much as the players as comic con fans got to see, actually what it showed was more shiping foder than this ep did in just one line or two. the actress playing katana meets up with player zuko and says that player ang is more like a little brother... then they clip to a very intresting discution about relationships between Ang and katana.

    that was pretty much the jist.

    um..one episode till the "movie" and no lotus no Iroh...where are they?

Aside from the part that saw Katara give up her hared from Zuko we gained nothing at all from this episode. They wasted an entire episode to clarify one thing that we all knew, that Katara's mother was dead...and just further developed the character of Katara.


    It raises questions about the final battle and finishes up the story ark of Katara's mother.

    Lets see about Kataang in the next episode, BTW, what were Sokka and Suki going to do? Hmmmm.........nuaghty nuaghty.


    Iono but it seemed like some light foreplay ...

    I agree with others about this episode being short and crammed.. I have to say I really enjoyed the line about Katara getting her chance at having a fieldtrip with Zuko. I wish Toph could've had some bonding time with him though... she still needs to dish out her payback though I don't see that being appropriate for the episodes to come after EIP. Oh well. *Is still waiting to see Iroh*

    Are you kidding? We finally found out the details of Katara's mom's death, plus there was huge character devolopment for Katara, an exciting attack by Azula, and Zutarians will claim this an episode with Zutara evidence. Plus, it was really exciting and funny. I guess everyone's a critic.

    My thoughts:

    1. Dang, Sokka needs to wear his hair down more often.

    2. The curious part of me would like to know what Sokka and Suki were planning, but my avid Tokka shipping is telling me I'd rather not know.

    3. Nice job completely cutting out Toph in this episode. What did she have, two lines?

    4. "Kya", rofl. Why couldn't they dub that over?

    5. I must admit, Zutara is pretty appealing. I'm sort of a Kataang/Zutara cusper as I really don't like any of those three characters.

    6. Katara = total effin' psycho pmsmonster who kind of frightens me

    7. Azula = not enough screentime. Nice to know she's just as insane as she always is, though.

    8. LUL @ THE MAJOR ZUTARA FANSERVICE

    And... that's about all that comes to mind.

    First off all this was a great episode, I loved the main story of Katara wanting to get revenge on this guy, and who could blame him after actully seeing the scene when he killed her mother. She used Bloodbending, I knew she would.

    Katara didn't need to get revenge on this guy, because life beat her to it, leaves with his mother, what a sorry excuse life. And him saying you can kill my mother, just pathic. But Katara is right, he is not worth it.

    Though am I the only one who finds it so wrong that Katara's mother is voiced by the same person that voices Azula.

    The comic relief with Sokka in that position in the tent, that was priceless. I liked Aang's line about it being Katara's turn to go on a field trip with Zuko, I love the writers for writing that line, it shows they don't think the audiance is stupid.

    And I thought Azula's line of celeberating becoming a only child, might have been her best line in the series, and she has many great villain lines. And I love her with her hair down, she looks like a whole different person. And you notice Zuko actully showed concern for her well being, when he said "She is not going to make it."

    And the ending wraps everything back to the main story, and it is about Aang and weather he will kill Ozai, and sets up the finally beautifully. Though I say this to Zuko, "What are you going to when you face Azula?" It works both ways Zuko. I hope somebody either Sokka, Katara, or Toph ask that question.

    And yes this episode was a tearjerker.

    10 out of 10

    It develops Katara more, which to me seems to be a pattern in this season. It shows that she's willing to use blood bending, and she has a different side that not everyone's seen. Also, the gAang has been seperated, and that Azula is on the verge of going crazy. And, of course, that Katara and Zuko's relationship (FRIENDSHIP WISE) has been repaired, or built, or whatever.

    That was amazing! The whole Sokka waiting for Suki in the tent thing was hilarious! My favorite line was, "Can I ask you a question? What are you gonna do to my father?" I'm so excited for the finale! Who knew EIP would be about so cool looking? I thought it was filler but looks like there will be some action in there too. ZOMGLOLLMFAO!!!!11!1

    WHAT HAPPENED? This is getting annoying isn't it?

    summary:

    in the beggining azula and a bunch of warships attack the Western Air Temple. toph digs a tunnel through which Hakoda, Chit Sang and everyone escapes through except for the Gaang (which is aang, zuko, sokka, suki, toph, and katara) because aapa doesnt like going underground. zuko decides that he'll hold the warships off thinking that its azula. azula and zuko get into a fight in which they're equal and both of them get blasted off the top of a warship. zuko is rescued by Appa and the Gaang. azula seems like she's about to die but she propels herself with firebending and hangs on to the side of a cliff.

    It cuts to a scene at which the Gaang is camping. they're sitting around a campfire when aang decides to start a cheer for their hero zuko, in which everyone except for katara joins. katara then walks away and zuko follows. katara goes on to say how he betrayed them in Ba Sing Se and says somethings about her mother. zuko wanting her to trust him decides to go to sokka and find out how their mother died. which leads to a hillarious scene in which zuko is going to sokka's tent and finds suki outside, suki goes away after zuko asks if she needs to see sokka as well. one inside the tent sokka is laying on the floor with candles surrounding him and turns around to find zuko at the opening of his tent rather than suki.

    can anyone else summarize the rest i dont want to type more

    Yeah, how DARE the creators care about character development and background closure! That's not what good storytelling is about!

    Oh wait, that's EXACTLY what good storytelling is about. What would you have them doing in this episode? Fight for 24 minutes with Azula and the Fire Nation?

    People found this episode sad? ...Wow. Maybe it's my strong dislike of Katara, but I found nothing about this episode to be even relatively emotional.

    Ah, and I forgot to mention the scene where Zuko saved Katara from the blast & she got mad at him for not getting off her faster. Totally cliche, but that did trigger some little part inside me that ships Zutara. :v
