I have said to myself many times that I would write something on tv.com's avatar forum once its over to congradulate and share my avatar experience with the rest of tv.com. I am a long time tv.comer and most of that time I have spent on Avatar forums, so hey if you want you can read what I have to say .
I am writing this even though I see MANY locked topics. I'm a member from the Pooldude generation and I never seemed to have seen this many locked topics. (I didn't read them all but I'm sure they were locked for good reason). (Pssst anyone remember the guy who impersinated Pooldude, he called himself PooIdude, quite a clever guy). So do what you must, mr. editor.
It was a dark stormy day when I first met Avatar Aang, I have to admit he looked kinda stupid and childish, but even though he did look like a child and it seemed to be a kids show I stoped making out with my girlfriend long enough to see my first water and firebending. It was the last episode of the second season. Katara was fighting loads of firebenders with a circle of water shaped in eight limbs to simbalize a squid, and Zuko fighting Aang. I was mesmorized by the power that this show produced in my mind, how could I not be. After Part one of the last two episodes was done I was very excited to see the second, but soon I was pulled away by my girlfriend at the time (which hey, wasn't that bad )
Thankfully I asked my GF's little brother what the show name was and how I could watch more of it! Soon I started to watch the show again. At first Avatar Aang took me to the southern water tribe and then to the air temples. I was in absolute love with this show and following it whenever I could, even to a great library in the middle of the desert where Appa was taken away (how could they!) I started downloading episode after episode (most of them were out of order) but I couldn't help myself. I put them on my PSP and watched three, even four a day! But then a sad moment happend that enlightened me even more (after I decided I wanted to watch them in order) one episode had voice and sound but the sound was so off that I just couldn't watch it. Thats when I decided to go out and buy season one, I couldn't stop then. After a time I came to that infamous episode and instead of being mesmorized by just the fire and waterbending, I was mesmorized by the plot. I knew what was happening and wanted to watch more.....
but I couldn't. Season two was over and I couldn't find anymore episodes online or anywhere!! Thats when my tv.com experience started. I came here and had a blast on the forums, make Big Brother: Avatar Edition, I really do have to go look that up one day, it should still be there. but I digress. Avatar took me to a different path where I made even new greater friends. This show is one for the record books!
Over time the AWS took over me and I needed something to take my mind off of it, I decided to join www.cybernations.com with a group called the Aang Gang, a group of tv.comers who left because of some of the mistakes and spam from the new people who joined tv.com and the avatar forums.
I loved it there (this isn't my bio, sorry I'll make it short*) and quickly grew to become a great nation. I still play and love it but I slowly began to leave tv.com.
I come back now though to share my experiences with the third season. I got the episodes every way I possibly could xbox live, internet, itunes, you name it, I watched the episodes. every episode was moving. The invasion was so sad, Aang was so scared, Katara stood by aang, everything was just so awesome and it was what I expected it to be. But in the end the last four episodes were the best episodes of avatar ever. How avatar defeated the firelord was amazing! I couldn't believe my eyes. It was sad that this series that I have followed had come to a close but I was so happy for them all and how they got through (although I would have liked to see some more of ty lee ) And what was sokka going to do with all those candles and that rose??!?!?!? LOL
Well there you have it, from yours truely Jtkode, this story touched my heart and I hope it did the same for you all as well. Avatar is the one anime I can truely say I loved and I'm sad that it is over, although I knew it would happen one day. This is to everyone in the Aanggang, and every Avatar fan out there, your all awesome and I'm glad to be in the same... forum as you? lol Peace out. This may be the last topic I ever create on tv.com and I am SO glad that I made it on the avatar forums. The Avatar will live on! Cant wait to see the movie!!!!!!!
