Season Finale! *SPOILERS*

[midori]

OK. I'm such a nerd. I took notes!! Overall, I love love LOVED IT! Was it not the most awsomest thing EVER?! Here's what I have summed up;

Iroh -- Trip to Spirit World must explain his vision of Roku's Dragon/Aang everyone's been debating about.

He has/had a SON! Wow. Zuko might have known him. Anyway. I cried.

Zuko -- He mentioned Azula! Yeah.. I just freaked. Zuko was just the awsomest! But what else is new?!

Katara -- Got to give her props on the Zuko one on one.; No one's a match for him!!

Sokka and Princess -- sweet, but yet somewhat annoying at the beginning. It got touching at the end. Tears. Lot's of tears.

Heh.. for a moment I thought the Moon and Water Spirits were Katara and Sokka! They do balance each other out!

I love Habi. He was so hillarious! ^0^

The Creature was so freaky I cannot put it into words. Reminded me a lot of no face from Spirited Away.

I just overall love the Ying and Yang theme.

Aang helping Zuko I loved. Hey! You got to return the favor o.~

Zhao was so annoying. I believe Iroh thought so to. Or was I the only one who got that impression o.~ heh... Zhao's invincible to all but lemurs!!

Iroh mad .... EEK! Iroh: You've been very naughty Zhao! BOOM!

Aang as water spirit--thing ---- WHOA O.O DOOD.

Zhao VS Zuko -- Zhao never stood a chance! Once you have angered the mighty Zuko, you have no shot!

Zhao's pride was his downfall. HE HAD IT COMING TO HIM! Zuko... I'm so proud of you. I could have never been that noble.

Ozai is my new public enemy number one now that Zhao's taken care of. Azula is such a daddy's girl >.< CREEPY...

*Ahem* OMG! IT WAS THE BEST! MORE MORE!

[corny]

God, I can't put it into words how good it was! I'll probably end up watching it a thousand and one times tomorrow (I recorded it ) and wind up drawing a butt-load of fan-art.

[midori]

I got one word for ya; Tivo

[chinagirl7594]

Dude, now the enemy I'm giving the evil eye is Zula now that Zhao is out of the picture... *Stares Evil eye at Zula*

[sakurako]

Okay, I'll give you guys the play by play on my commentary.

Zuko-- (Of course he is first! ^.^) He was SUPER awesome. I finally began to see his point of view, especially when he was talking to Aang when he was in the spirit world. I almost cried when he said "My father said she was born lucky. He said I was lucky to be born." Aww...ZUKO!!! *hugs* Zuko: Let go of me, you random peasant. Me: NEVER. Ooh, he looks hawt when he's stealthy. o.o

Iroh-- Woah, a SON??!?! WTF? That was a surprising twist. Also, I was like OMFG, GO IROH! When he was throwing fire balls all over the place at Zhao. WICKED AWESOME. He is actually not an idiot, unlike most fire benders. I also loved his cloak. Nice sense of style.

Yue--I actually give her respect now. Her sacrifice was unbelievable, and I was so sad when she said good-bye to Sokka. I felt really bad for him, and a few tears slid down my cheek. I was like, ooh....that's why she has white hair. I always wondered that. The twist was great, and I REALLY want a screenshot of her flowy angel form if anyone could find me one. It was so pretty!

Sokka and Habi--Habi was hilarious. He couldn't even say Commander Zhao's name right, and when he went to attack him, he was pretty much destroyed. Hehe. Reminded me of Sokka in the first ep. with Zuko. Habi was such an idiot that he made me laugh so much.

Katara--Wow, she made some SERIOUS progress, but I thought it was a tiny bit sketchy how she became so good at waterbending in such a short period of time. But she was totally on with the Zuko fight scene. I agree, though, Midori, that NO ONE could EVER beat him. She hath awakened the rath of the hotness. xD I noticed how she and Zuko's speaking was definately shipper-provoking, and I can tell that the shippers will be going mad by tomorrow. -.-

The Moon and Water Spirits--It was a really cool concept at first. Originally, I thought that it was Sokka and Katara, like Midori, but then my friend realized that it was the fish. 0.o She ruins everything...-.- Also, I was so pissed at Zhao for killing the moon spirit. What a loser. All he did was brag about how he would become a "legend." Pah. And cows will fly.

The Spirit World--A very different interpritation of what it was like before. Amazing, absolutely amazing creature, Ka. I thought that the bit about the avatar trying to kill him was so intruiging. My theory was that it was Roku, who fell in love with a woman like his face was with the long, flowing brunette hair. She was pretty, and I also thought of Spirited Away, but I thought that he looked more like the River Spirit than No Face.

Zhao--A butt-hole, as usual. He was so conceited, and right when he was going on about how great he was in the oasis, I was like, "One of his soldiers should attack him." But who else came to the rescue but MOMO?!?! It was wicked awesome how he attacked him. I was so proud of my darling Zuko for being a good person and offering to help Zhao, and I shunned him for not accepting his help. As said before, his pride was his downfall.

Foreshadowing--A lot about Azula that had been unmentioned earlier. I think that she will presume the role of Zhao as the antagonist, and she will be the one who will weasel her way into the group and somehow gain Aang's trust because the fire bender in the title looks like her. ((See my thread Craziness? on FB)) I also think that somehow there will be a major battle thing between Zuko and Zula. w00t!!!!

OVERALL:: I thought it was the best episode ever. Yet. My all-time favorite. At this point, I don't even think Ozai will take back Zuko even if he captures the avatar. I hope Zula dies. -.-

Sakurako's Rating:: The BEST. Ever. Forever and ever.

[ichi]

God, I missed it! Are they playing it again tomorrow?

[chinagirl7594]

They're showing it again on Sunday, 11:00 AM. Well,, at least that's what the schedule says.

[ichi]

*Phew!*

[jialingjin]

......Was the choir concert worth missing Avatar? ......No way. Great.. Now I gotta wait till sunday! ><

[The Lion Turtle]

Okay, I watch it once through, and the second time it came on (I have two Nick channels that have different schedules), I accutally took notes. It filled three pages in my notebook, and that's without the extra stuff I'm putting in right now. Original notes are in italics. It goes in chronological order, and some are just random stuff I scribbled down.

Part I

Ash raining from the sky... yeah.

This is probably from the fires burning in the ships. Probably coal. It was cool nonetheless. Animated very well.

Kiss, damn you!

I'm still decideing (at this point) whether or not I'm a Sokka/Yue Shipper.

OMGAANGANDMOMOCUTENESS!

Yeah.

Zhao so vain (he probably thinks this song is about him).

Seriously, is it just me, or does Zhao get more manic throught the series? Even though the episode?

Cheesey Sokka face.

You know, when Yue breaks up with him. It's so cheesey with the zooming on the face and such.

OMGBRAVESOKKA!

So proud!

CRY, B!TCH!

What is Yue crying for? He's going to okay, and it's her fault she dumped him.

OMGBRAVEAANG!

He's awesome in this! My favorite catapult destroyer is when he ties the two together and they destory eachother ^_^

KICK ASS APPA!

We get to see MORE Awesome Appa.

Side-burns!

Hee hee. Zhao's middle-aged with side burns. How sad.

Zuko scene: 'Nuff said.
Iroh-development/Zuko-development

Oh, jeeze. A glimps into Iroh's past, but as soon as we see it, the book is shut on our nose. Son, huh? How's he die? Did Zuko know him? I guess Zuko and Iroh are that close. And Zuko seems to think on a similar line. Iroh HUGGED him! And the look on Zuko's face was priceless! He had a very soft, very loving look on his face. It was wonderful to see that side of Zuko. He really does have a heart. >.< Of course, that was only for his uncle, so don't get any ideas!

Spiritual area -- extremely beautiful.

I wish I had that place. And I ABSOLUTELY LOVE the yin-yang. Ask my girls from PZFN ^_^ Anyways the koi fish were beautiful....

Zuko in the cavern -- I'll help you breath!

-^_^- *glomps Zuko*

He's very determined, even putting his life on the line. It's almost scary, but it's also very admirable.

"Be quiet!"

And he still shows his true colors -_-

Zuko/Katara fight.

Wow. Katara's grown, but even with that, Zuko can still hold his own. It was wonderfully chorographed and just amazing to watch. I didn't see any hints of Z/K, though. YAY!

Part II coming soon.

[sekar]

Oh Snaps! thats is what I was thinking. The best eppisode ever! The Mythology content in it was awesome. Koh the face-stealer, that was a cool beast. Hei Bai, he returns XD. The mediating monkey was hilarious. Hahn, I wanna slap the mo'fo. He acted like Yue was some kind of trophey. ><; Speaking of which, poor Sokka. Two weeks ago I was like. YAYAYAY! Go Sokka! but now...awwwww T_T poor Sokka-kun he's so heart broken, but Yue had to do it. I knre Iroh had some sort of child!! Zuko, OMFG! That was one cool battle with Katara.

[jialingjin]

ZOMFG!
*Runs through the halls of her college dorm, screaming*

.........TOO MUCH FOR MY BRAIN TO PROCESS.

Thank you.

[jialingjin]

I noticed something odd in Episode 19.

Does the Animation seem off to anyone? It looked like it was different, espically in the faces and how Aang moved. I dunno.. the lines always seemed thicker.

Could have just been my comptuer (since I have yet to see it on TV)

[siyuki]

Sakurako basically got all of my exact thought,s but I'll go on anyway. ^^;

My highlights:

-The spirit world. Ko was awesome, reminded me of Spirited away. And (as pointed out on TV.com) One of the faces looks like a younger Iroh, and the beloved girl has a very small resemblance to Katara. I'm not thinking related, but I am thinking familiarity, since Aang really likes Katara. Oh, and the yin-yang fish were awesome. I love how they circle one another.
-Zuko. 'Nuff said
-Katara v Zuko. The match we've all been waiting for (or maybe that was just me)
-Zhao's pride was his downfall. Of course.
-I really respect Yue. In ep 19, she confused me a little, but she's really brave. And her goodbye to Sokka....wow.
-Iroh. Wow, who knew he had a son? And the whole "spirit" thing explains why he saw Aang on Roku's dragon. Poor Iroh, he's kind of troubled.

All in all, it rocked my socks. A lot.
*hugs writers*
Once again writers, I love you.
