When the White Lotus made their appearance in the Finale, what were your thoughts? Did their arrival make a notable difference or was it a little too late?

Elaborate, fiend!

XD Okay. When the White Lotus Society showed up in the finale, do you believe their arrival in the series (since we all predicted or hoped for an earlier arrival) was just in the nick of time or were you a little disappointed that they only made their first appearance in the last episode?

I don't know how else to make it simplier.

I see.

Yes, it would have been nice to see them sooner, but I thought that was a nonissue.

I REALLY would've liked an entire episode prior to the finale to have been about the OWL. They can't just tempt us with the secrets of the entire world and then not tell us.

It probably would've been sort of cool to see them sooner but i dont see really what the big deal is, they massed for an invasion of Ba Sing Se and that was pretty cool

Yeah, the White Lotus did seem to come out of nowhere even though it was foreshadowed. Its purpose was noble and beautiful but perhaps a bit more set up before FOUR uber masters appear together all at once.

The order was one of my favourite parts of the finale, especially when we saw Bumi take back Omashu.

the only thing about the white lotus' appearance that really bugged me to no end was teh fact that they never addressed teh significance of sokka receiving a white lotus tile from pian dao. the whole retaking of ba sing se was pretty inconsequential to the rest of the story, so overall it felt like they were only included for the sake of being included.

is the way of Bryke
for the most part, unless other characters were with one or more of these characters
Zuko, Aang, Katara, Sokka, Toph, Appa in his story after being taken by sandbenders or Azula(basic only exception was the story of Sozin and Roku, but even than, Aang and Zuko were either observing or reading)

they never showed others characters in themselves

they never showed Ty lee interactions with the rest of the Kyoshi warriors, they never showed Hakoda finding the people for the invasion, they never showed how Iroh escaped from the jail, they never showed the taking of Omashu by the FN, they never showed the life of June, they never showed what was the friendship of Zuko and Mai during their childhood

some "holes" might be filled by the POSSIBLE small episodes on TV and online next year(is not completly confirmed)

so it makes sense that we never saw them until they finally interacted with the gaang at the finale

It was forshadowed a bit, and kinda all ofa sudden,
But it made the final more awsome seeing differnt masters from differnt elements/arts, wearing the same uniform on the same side.
Im thinking where the OWL were when sozin wiped out the air benders, or how old the society is.
Hopfuly well see more of them in future avatar series.
If another series takes place inthe future, its be awsome to see sokka and zuco as old masters in the OWL.

I would have liked to learn more about their secret society... and I truly thought they would have been protecting Ursa but I guess not.

I was anxiously awaiting this as well. Piandao's gift to Sokka indicated that he was in the secret society, but the GAang didn't know that at the time. They could have had a whole episode didecated to the White Lotus and answered all of our questions. Too bad, I would have been interested.
