Unbiased reaction
Really great review from a non-watcher of the show:
http://cleolinda.livejournal.com/892319.html
"The thing that killed me the second worst was when Zuko's all like, "Hey, kid, come and tell my uncle why the prince, who is totally not me, can't just live among the people and give up on this Ahhhvatar thing." And you're sitting there thinking the kid will say, "Because the prince is a dick and we hate him! We would totally kill him on sight!" But instead, the kid and Zuko do this tag-team flashback thing where they explain to the uncle how Zuko got his scar and got booted from Fire Nation society. A flashback in which the uncle has multiple reaction shots. Which indicates, if I am not being clear enough here, that THE UNCLE WAS THERE. WHY THE F*CK DID YOU JUST ENLIST SOME RANDOM KID TO TELL HIM SOMETHING HE ALREADY KNOWS BECAUSE HE WAS THERE? I "
"And I don't know how the bending works in the show, but apparently you gotta bust out five minutes of tai chi before you can so much as splash someone. Really complicated elemental blasts may involve voguing. Really? Is this how it works? I just. Wow. "
