    Old School Kirk could spank Zuko's butt, then emote to him about true pain...TRUE . . . suffering! He could help the poor...lost man! He could...heal him!

    We need a crossover.

    Bill O'Reily is gay if the top evangelical Christian leader (Pastor Ted Haggard) turned out to be gay then there really is no gay-basher that you can trust.

    Thus Zuko the manliest man of the show, is gay



    Oh My God... The assumption you have just proclaimed has made a true a** out of you. I respect everyone's opinions, but that is out of line. Without a doubt. I need to hit something really hard and pretend that it's you. I see now why your icon is Fry. The assumptions you make on every board anger me.

    Okay, now without yelling does someone want to explain to me WHY JIN IS A SUE? There are characters on the show that I definately see as Sues and I HATE SUES, but that's why I'm confused, Jin didn't seem like a sue to me, just some girl that Zuko went out with, and is it fair to call her a sue if she's been on the show for one episode (not even a whole episode).

    Well I don't know, I'm not advocating that she is, but maybe she is seen by many viewers *cough fangirls cough* as a hotter version of them selves getting a date with zuko. I don???t understand that, being a guy and all, I don???t want to date or screw any of the characters and I don???t idealize any of them (though I would like to see azula, ty lee and mai in a three-some, but I digress). Jin is very likely never going to be seen again, I don't understand why some people whin about her still, so what if zuko got a little action? People normally do that: we live in a very serial monogamous world which means most of the time people are sleeping with many, just one at a time.

    Like I said no one really knew the extent of Suki's importance in the story when she first appeared...so I can't just write off Jin just yet...although personally I could care less about whether Jin and Zuko hook up since I don't give a damn about the romantic part of this show, if Jin's return means more chances to see Zuko whoops some ass then I'm all for it, but other than that it's a *shrug* from me

    I think her purpose was to show Zuko is still straight, even through all this time.

    Well Katara, Sokka and Aang all have an obvious love interest in the show. Zuko doesn't so I guess the writers figured they should give him one, even if it's just for an episode.

    Pooldude, if you could get my word to the inside THANK THEM FOR ME!!! Jin, gods I think she saved us from a flood of Zuko/Jet fanfics.

    But knowing Yoai fangirls that won't stop them. -__-

    I'm so glad we saw the romantic, awkward side of Zuko. YES, he isn't like the rest of those brooding, above girls misunderstood jerks so often seen in anime (Hiei, Sasuke). He has hormones, he's human!

    Thank you Mike and Bryan! Thank you for making Zuko's character??more dimensional.

    They needed That Girl to do that?? Couldn't we've just met his mom instead?? That would've been cool!!

    It felt thrown in to me. In an episode without substance. The whole BSSBS left a bad taste in my mouth, actually. But Jen brings all of that out as a nice clean scapegoat.

    I'm still holding out the belief that Jin is going to ruin Zuko, much like Saffron attempted to do with Mal in "Firefly". Seriously, watch that series and tell me if the persona doesn't work.
