It IS kinda creepy to see Zuko smile, though. NOW WE NEED MORE SOKKA.

Oh, I just saw the latest Avatar episode, The Firebending Masters, and it was truly a thing of beauty, both stylistically and plot-wise. S3 has been sort of lazy, but episodes like this one, The Awakening and Day of the Black Sun pts. 1 and 2 save it

Oh god, that episode was one of my favorites. Stylistically so beautiful, and the Dragon Dance and the Mayan-like sun people... <3. I loved Zuko in this ep, too; he's reasserted himself and he's obviously not going to be a *complete* pushover. XDDD

Yay Avatar!

Oh, it truly was. The dance! The Epic Music of Awesome as the dragons 'bestow their teachings over them' (if there isn't a less dorky way of calling that) and OMG SO MANY AWESOME CULTURES. ALL TOGETHER. EEK.

Zuko was pretty awesome in this - just as angsty and emo-tastic as I like him, lol. He'll never be my favorite, but him being BFFs with Aang is making him go way up in my awesome scale, haha.

Hee, Avatar! I watched part of an Avatar marathon when I was at my cousins' house over Christmas break -- we had nothing to do, so we stumbled upon it and thought, "Oh, more bad anime," and watched it anyway. And it ended up being kind of AWESOME. :D

IT IS MADE OF SHINY! I kinda love it immensly, because it's bot fun and ~epic~, lol. Do watch the entire series if you can - no one can resist its charm, promise *g*

Quite honestly? I didn't like it. The solution was Deus Ex Machina (oh, yeah, we have this ruins of $advanced_culture right there!), and Aang's speech.. Of course, the lack of Tokka didn't do anything to meliorate my feelings.

I wouldn't exactly call it a bad episode, but after ToBS, I think I was slightly disappointed.
*shrugs*

YMMV.
