avatar (city of walls & secrets) -- made of awesome, yes?
Avatar last night.
Amazing.
Just utter fabulous.
Sokka: [british accent] Avatar, how you do go on.
Katara & Toph's make-over were so amazing! They looked like little asian porcelain dolls. XD I loved Katara's mischievous face after the guanrd didn't let them into the party.
Zuko showed a few signs of his character loosening up a little bit. I think he's beginning to accept his predicament, and will soon realize the answer to all his problems. And the solution will EVENTUALLY bump into him in the city.
With the rolling of the eyes, sarcasm, and his temper not so hot nowadays, Zuko's personality is slowly but surely returning to what it was when his mommy was around.
He's cooling down, and that's a good thing.
Aang was just Aang in this episode. Except for "you look beautiful" compliment that he gave to Katara, and the blushing when Toph bumped into him and Sokka, not much shippiness.
The "you will not see Appa again if you talk about the war" threat by the Secretaist at the end was harsh. I felt bad for the kid. DD:
And finally:
OMG Jet! Could he be more obsessed with the Fire Nation?
But we got to see a little of soft side when he was talking to Smellerbee/Long Shot about how they were left homeless and parentless after the FN attacked their family. That was sad. Poor Jet.
The Jet/Zuko fight was OMG NO WAI YAY. I loved the matrix parts, haha.
And the brainwashing! of both Jet and Joo-Dee were utterly creepy. WTF Ba Sing Sei? The music at the end. *shudders* omg creepy.
All-in-all, it was very good episode that, in my opinion, is setting up somehting HUGE for the Season Finale.
Which brings me to some predictions.
Can you believe it? We're at episode 14 already! The Season Finale is just around the corner.
From what we know, only Zuko/Iroh and Aang&Co know about the war. I'm thinking that perhaps all of them are going to join up and (somehow) defeat the Secretaist/Dai Li's system of silence that they have going on. They'll win, Aang will tell the King about the eclipse and they'll start preparing a plan to defeat the Fire Nation.
Then Aang will say "OH SNAP I NEED TO LEARN HOW TO FIREBENDZ" and Iroh being conveniently there, will be like:
"I WILL MY WAYS YOUNG GRASSHOPPER."
And since the King will be "THX FOR SAVING ME AND MY CITY", he'll let Aang&Co + Zuko/Iroh to train within the many walls of the City, and thus, Season Three will begin!
Huh? Huh?
I think it's a pretty good theory, but knowing my smarts, I will be completely OFF. So in reality, Zuko/Iroh will die and Aang&Katara will get married and have many babiez who will "repopulate" the Air Temples. DD:
So I watched the preview for the next episode, and some chick is asking Zuko out.
She's pretty, I admit. And possibly, a very nice person.
But Zuko is still not ready. DD:
I mentioned above the he's becoming "normal" but he's not there yet. He still has issues.
He may reject her, and come back to her AFTERWARDS. But--I don't know.
I know I ship Zutara, but I mainly want Zuko to be happy. So even if Zuko never even considers Katara as a feasible option, I will be happy if he ends up with someone.
So that's pretty much all I have to say, which is a lot. O_O
But hey! This episode was very inspiring and suspenseful. It definitely brings me back to the days when it first aired on TV.
update: I'm still sick. D:
