    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.

    1) I LOVED that show!! Why'd they take Firefly off?? It was great....And the movie they made of it was f'ing awesome!! And I can almost see it, buuuuuuuuuutttttttt....
    2) I would be perfectly content to ignore any mention of Ba Sing Se throughout the whole season. My GOD it was lame!! The war's been going on for 100+/- years, how old IS that city AND the Dai Lee?! **Rants for a few hours**
    3) **Happily makes Jen the official scapegoat for all the screwedup-ness of BSS**
    4)**Prays to all the god/desses in Avatar that they WON'T BRING JEN BACK!!!!**

    Forgive me for saying this, but if you don't shut up, I will hunt you down, tie your arms to four seperate cars, and drive them as fast as I can toward four different cities. Then, I will take your arms and feed them to any poor wild dogs I run into. I'll allow vultures to feast on your legs, but only after they are infested with maggotts and worms. I'll then slow roast the rest of you over a volcano, then chop you into pieces and feed you to homeless people.

    I'd forgive everything about Jen if she turned in Zuko and lured him into a trap for Azula and claimed the bounty on his head, and when Iroh threatened to interfere she poisoned his tea. I'd even accept that she has a boy's name.

    and I'll pluck out your eyeballs and drink the vicious humor, blah blah blah, I???ve heard it before. They would never have an openly gay (or even hint at it) character on a American cartoon, Americans are to homophobic; but I can still dream it.

    Jin will give Zuko something to fight for. And because of this he'll be able to manipulate white fire and white lightning. This will seperate him from Azula and other firebenders, making him the 'ish.

    Sounds like a fanfic doesn't it?

    Wow!! DumbTvNut is pretty famous on this board. But I like the "...to show he is not homosexual..." suggestion. Honestly, I could care less wheter or not she comes back, as long as she does it with some pizazz ( yah, baby). Otherwise I'll have no choice but to act like MasterofAeons.

    *sigh* What a sad, sad fate.

    I like neither idea. Jen, like Song, was a filler. Put into the show because it'd be flat for them without it.

    Jin enters the new teashop cradling her enlarged belly, zuko quickly ducks away and runs out the back of the store in a panic. Iroh yells at him ???Zuko come back!, you got to be a man and owe up to your responsibilities!??? Zuko keeps running, screaming. How that for pizazz?
