I like your interpretation of Jeong Jeong. It fits perfectly with what we saw of him and his view of Firebending in Episode 16.

Thank you. I wasn't sure if the tone I used for Jeong Jeong was quite right, so I'm glad to hear you approve.

Very good. A part of me was hoping Jeong Jeong would be happy about the idea but this makes more sense to me and seems very in character for him to be negative about it

[darth_animus]

I can actually see what you're getting at there. Jeong Jeong's agressive way of speaking about firebending could very much come from the feeling of shame he most likely associates with his own bending.

Aang is a good student, I think. I can see him grasping new concepts easily once he's been introduced to a way of thinking. Once Aang started to think of firebending as having something good about it, he also started to see new dimensions to what those good things are.

Aang and Sokka think about the world a lot. Aang does so rather obviously, but Sokka in a more covert manner. But I think Sokka has a bit of a philosopher in him, as I can't help but think that sarcasm of that level has to have a philosophical mind behind it. XD

Zuko and Aang are a match made in heaven, I'm sure Iroh agrees. <3

YEAH! defiant!Aang standing up for his man.
And in a broader sense, and entire nation and culture formed around the art of firebending.

...
but mostly his man
that's right B)

[darth_animus]

Hahaa! Indeed, Aang's certainly all about defending his man here. At least mostly. XD
