    Dear god what a missed opprotunity

    I know they got some time to interact in Western air temple /Ember Island

    but dear god how awesome would a full on Zuko and Toph episode would have been

    The Aang episode was fun and insightful, Sokka's was action packed, and Katara's was emotionally heavy (see the theme here)

    the potenial for a Toph/Zuko episode to be the most utterly badass episode in the series was obvious, I really wish they'd made that episode, even if it was fillerish

    I wanted one myself but she already trusted him. The main reason for him helping Aang, Sokka, and Katara was to gain their trust and she had no problem with him already.

    Too much filler in the beginning of Season 3. They did have their moments in The Western Air Temple and The Ember Island Players but I would also like to see more.

    I'd like to see more scenes, but an entire episode? It would seem like such a repetitive storyline by then, and it would be unnecessary too.

    Aang/Zuko's: Funny
    Sokka/Zuko's: Bad@ss
    Katara/Zuko's:Insightful


    Toph/Zuko would've definetely been hard core. Oh well *sigh*

    ARE YOU INSANE! as long as the episode was good (and dear god how could they have screwed it up)

    I would have watched it....this season already has two extra episodes AND they made us wait half a year between Black Sun and Western Air temple (for NO REASON, the episodes were complete long ago, they'd even aired in other countries/comic con/dvds)...whats another 20 minutes worth of the shows two most AWESOME characters

    Ahahaha. There really wouldn't be anything to do. It could've been a trip back to her parents, though.... But why would Zuko come along, anyway?

    that would have actually been a good idea, both Zuko and Toph have mommy and daddy issues

    I'd love to see a POST-ZUKO-in the group episode dealing with that loose end (really wouldn't her folks still be looking for her)

    I never said I wouldn't watch it, I said that it would be unnecessary, especially since she had no beef with Zuko in the 1st place.

    They got that message from Hawky in The Runaway, so I guess they decided to leave her be.

    It wouldn't have to be an episode about Zuko gaining Toph's trust there was never any beef between them EVER!

    (I'm pretty sure never even meet him until Westen Air Temple...yes they were around eachother early in S2 but they didn't talk, the groups split as soon as Azula escaped)

    I'm just saying , those two characters are so aweome, there is no way a filler episode, with just them 2 on some random quest could be a bad idea. Everyone else got one (and Sokka's was a two-parter) why leave Toph out

    well there is an epic 4 part episode today. Maybe I'll get a little of that

    FBM through TSR focused on Zuko gaining the group's trust. Toph never had a problem with Zuko since she mostly dealt with Azula. This point was proven when she urged the gaang to let him join them. Although it would be nice to see how those two interact, there really is no need for a whole episode and there is nothing for them to accomplish together.

    They left Toph out because there was nothing for them to do together.

    There is a limited amount of episodes they can do a season, and since Toph/Zuko have no problem with each other, why dedicate an entire episode to them? And something more than just cause they're awesome.

    Cause they're super awesome? xP

    But yeah, I agree. While it would've been great for Toph and Zuko to go off and do their thing (no idea what they'd do for fun, they have fighting and aliasing in common, could be a starting point) it wasn't necessary for them to bond, seeing as how they're both fine with one another.

    i think in one episode of the movie that toph should go hustle some people like in the runaway that would be wicked!!!! zuko could tag along but aang or sokka would have to go as well because they did it before
