I seem to have lost a Netflix. Dammit. I can't find the envelope anywhere. I know it arrived. I hadn't opened it yet. It's GONE. I must have accidentally thrown it away. Dagnabbit

You're making me really curious about this alternate ship! I'm only halfway through the second season, so the fact that there's any controversy about Katara and Aang seems absurd at this point, but I know my preteen sister was flipping about something in the third season... Well, we'll see. I'm excited. :D
Zuko/Katara is HUGELY popular. But yeah, I agree that it made pretty clear throughout the series from the beginning that the creators were developing Aang/Katara.
I just love Zuko with Mai so much that I can't get my head around Zutara. Plus I grok the Epic Lifesaving Worldchanging True Loff that the creators were going for with Kataang (not everyone does, natch).
I don't know if this speaks to your question, but after experimenting with lots of things, I've come back to the following:
buy small filter cone plastic thingie and cone filters buy coffee grinder, cheap, small, nothing fancy buy fresh Starbucks beans in blend of your preference heat water four mins. in Pyrex medium measuring cup in microwave pour small amount over small amount fresh ground beans, let go thru pour in more, until have cup of coffee
ENJOY. It is always so, so good. I zap the water as I'm near the end of my going to work routine and drink on the way to work. I make another cup at work in the afternoon with the mirror supplies I keep there, as I don't have time to leave long enough to get any, and work has no or crap coffee.
Just a thought! I used to spend money and time on coffee I bought, but this is better than anything except maybe Starbucks and a few other places, and on par with them.
I'm at the beginning of season 3 (rewatching, so I know how it ends) and wow, I am more violently anti-Aang/Katara than I remember being. I don't necessarily ship Katara/Zuko, but I definitely prefer it to the alternative. Aang's crush on Katara was always pretty obvious, but I was so clearly reading it as a childhood thing to be gotten over that when the show kept going with it I got really confused and weirded out. D:
To me it kept getting deeper and more interesting as the series went on, on both sides. So I was grokking the creators' vision on that fo sho. But I totally get how others don't see it, actually. For me? It's like reading HP except the Harry and the Hermione got to get together. :-)
I only watched Avatar through for the first time about a month ago, so I'm still knew and finding my way in the fandom. Seriously, these people are as bad as the crazy Harry/Hermione shippers!
And, just like it was with Harry and Ginny, it was obvious from the first moment of the series that Katara and Aang would end up together, because they're a sweet couple and Aang has had the biggest crush on her forever. But, from the very first season, Zuko was my favourite character, even when he was 'evil', because he was the one with all this amazing personal growth going on and was just so COOL. And there were enough scenes here and there to indicate that maybe Katara would have been good for him.
So I'm a bit of a Katara/Zuko shipper, at least in part because it seems more INTERESTING than Katara/Aang. But as someone who used to read a LOT of HP slash, being fanon doesn't change anything. ;)
More big news just broke, too...in an interview about the new series, the creators just revealed that Tenzin is indeed Aang and Katara's son.
I think there's a lot to support Aang/Katara from her end, too. It wasn't all about his crush. She had hero worship of him from the start and he represented this great hope she had, then she started to like him as a person. People pull out the "but she was maternal to him" card a lot but she was like that with *everyone,* and there are lots of examples of her treating him like a romantic equal throughout the series.
And hey, *I* was a Harry/Hermione shipper! Which I think is part of the reason I'm an Aang/Katara shipper. Very similar.

i really hope zuko's still around, albeit as an old iroh-type.
