*GINORMOUS SPOILERS* Season Finale

[naru]

ZUKO CHOSE THE DARK SIDE (for now... *smirks evilly and begins to cackle*) It was good but not nearly as exciting as I thought it would be, good bending, Aang almost died and the Avatar Cycle was almost destroyed, The Earth Kingdom was conquered, AND WHO WILL BE AANG FIREBENDEING TEACHER!!?!?!?!? MY THEORY FOR THE FINALE WAS OBLITERATED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[hikari]

Wow, so much to take in at once. *Can't sort out thoughts* I was dissapointed in Zuko, one step foward and two steps back again. -_- He's going through a conflicting period in his life, I'm sure he'll snap out of it. I'll post more when I can get my thoughts sorted.

[jialingjin]

There is hope for my Azula teaches Aang Firebending theory! NOMATTERHOWSMALL!


and OMG..METALBENDERS ><!

[naru]

not really what Toph did took INCREDIBLE skill and her special method of sight contributed greatly

I know. Metal benders. Here we go >>

I think people have to be at a very high level to do this though. And I mean very high.

That was such a cliff hanger, but I loved it personally.

[rairii]

<--- Such the insensitive dork

I was laughing through the entire episode. Laughing like the sadistic-minded maniac I am.

Well, except for when Katara offered to heal Zuko's scar. >< That was just stupid.

But I even laughed when Aang died... and then came back to life. Wow.

Of course, what pwns all it what I did as soon as the last line was uttered;
Earth King: The Earth Kingdom has fallen...
Me: *fistpump* Yesssssss! I love happy endings!"
Seriously.

I know you're all giving your monitors weird looks, somehow hoping I'll see it.
Well, I can't. But I know you are still trying.

So, the finale was everything I expected and more. Because I was one of those losers hoping Ba Sing Se would fall. *pelted with rotten fruit* >>

As for the metalbending... Our lives are about to get real miserable.

[yumi]

I sort of was hoping for that too. It makes it more interesting. Happy endings don't always make good endings you know. Hopefully, it will get more interesting later on. A lot of theories are coming in mind now.

Laughing like a sadistic-minded maniac?
Same here.

Felt Katara healing Zuko stupid?
Same here.

Laughing when Aang died and came back to life?
Same here.
While wondering if he obtained any brain damage seeing as he was more or less "dead" for some time.

Cheering at the fall of Bai Seng Sei and the Earth Kingdom?
Same here.
While hoping there will not be an army of cuddle creatures to fight against the Fire Nation in the third season.

Feeling a tad attracted to Azula for some reason?
.... I guess that's just me. <.<;;

*shrugs and plays the Fire Nation national anthem, or at the FN theme(s)*

And I too faer, yes faer, the metalbenders.

*yells the word "shimmels" at Aden*

[naru]

Well I have to agree I would kill ppl if Katara HAD healed Zuko scar, in fact that was the constant topic of conversation between Sanzoku and I

[jenjae]

I liked the finale. But it upset me. I like the Earth King..he's so..enthusiastically dim. And silly. But in a good way.

Iroh > all. Seriously. Um. I'm about to watch it again in 45 minutes. *Has two Nick channels on different schedules*

Right before the guru started talking about all the elements being one, I was like.."Hey..metal IS from the earth, right?" Then Toph was all "SCREEEECRUMPLESMASHEEEee"

O Snap. =o

[aden]

I personally thought this was an excellent development in the storyline. Now there's really almost no place left to run for the Gaang. I was also surprised and somewhat pleased by the descision for Zuko to turn to the proverbeal 'Dark Side.' If he'd decided to fight Azula, without planning to capture Aang afterward, I would have screamed cliche. I think his choice might have been motivated by his deeply-rooted desire for his father's approval. The only thing I really couldn't figure out was exactly why Azula had deemed it necassary to have Zuko's support for her plan to succeed. Ah well... SHe's canniving and her plans seem to be circuitous at times, so maybe it'll be revealed sometime in the future...

In other news, getting a glimpse at the Southern WT warriors was pretty cool. Ty Lee and Mai were also pretty humorous throughout the ep, though I got a little tired of Ty Lee's a$$-kissing... It seems like she's really terrified of Azula. Also, I'm guessing the Gaang will have a new addition in the form of the Earth King and Bosco. It'll be strange to see how that changes their little family, suddenly having a King without a Kingdom among them who's probably never roughed it a day in his life.

Iroh PWNZ j00 ALL! DRAGON OF THE WEST! *Flaming Inferno*

*Ahem*

and finally.....

*yells the word "shimmels" at Aden*

GAAAHljsdnvlLKNlkjvnsdklanlKNDLKBNAK;;KDFNB DKL NKL!!!!///oneonelevenslash!!!

I can't garuntee it, but Toph may very well have been the first metalbender in the Avaverse. I will personally shank the next member who makes a metalbender with a rusty butterknife...

[yasu]

Okay, woah. I mean. Woah.This finale was so good--And I can't wait till Season 3. Umm, okay, Zuko disappoints. Majorly. THough now his firebending skills are like over-the-top. And I'm pretty sure its because that storm raging inside of him from Bitter Works is gone along with the metamorphesis. Now he might be able to do lightning! And what the heck was he thinking going against Iroh like that?! And Katara after she offered to heal the scar his father gave him (honestly wasn't looking forward to healing Zuko's scar, so glad it didn't happen) I love how when Aang nad Iroh break into their cell, and Katara hugs Aang, Aang flashes Zuko this NASTY look. Kind of like: Back off. I laughed so hard, rewound the Tivo, and watched it five more times. Just because it was so funny. I'm pretty sure it didn't have anything to do with Aang being overly-protective of Katara...but still. Katara was oftly close to Zuko when they broke in...maybe Aang got a wrong idea?

Toph can bend metal! OMG! I was like: Woah, and we thought it couldn't be cannon. Obviously it can. ^^;

And IROH! OMIGEE! He's litterally the Dragon of the West! Cause, dudes, he breathes fire! From tea? ? I dunno. But DUDE! IROH PWNS ALL!

The Fight: OMG! Awesomest thing ever! Katara was awesome and I was so glad that we finally got to see some true-blue master waterbending! And Azula was actually caught off gaurd! And...And...

"I thought you changed!"
"I did change!"

AAAH! Poor Katara! I think she might've liked (not loved, but liked) the new Zuko. Plus when she left with Aang she glanced back at Zuko and Iroh.

Anways, what else? Oh yeah, we met Hakoda. I liked him. He had big-butt muscles. :3

What else, else? Ummmmmm....I can't think of anything else. Besides I think Ty Lee is the most hilarious person ever when it comes to Sokka. Though I think she had a few unnessacary suck-up lines to Azula. XD

[kura]

I was in such shock when Zuko decided to team up with Azula, but after watching it again on youtube, I've decided it's very fitting. The only thing I don't like about it is that he betrayed Iroh! After all that guy has done for him, too D:

I gotta say, I love Azula even more after this episode. She's so deliciously conniving. I laughed when that Dai Lee agent said she was "terrifying and inspirational at the same time" XD And when Azula was going on about how it was her divine right to rule, I flipped out ^^ As for when she asked Zuko to join her, I couldn't help but feel that she was up to something... I sense a double crossing in the future.

I <3 Iroh for serious. Does his fire breathing abilities have to do with tea? Because that would be really funny if it does. And that was so sweet when he gave Aang advice. He's so wise and caring X3

Toph has reached a new level of pwnage. But metalbending, oh noes! I can already see the horrible Sues that are about to come forth D: (Also, did anyone else notice that when they were heading to Ba Seng Se on Appa, Toph was holding onto Sokka's arm? I know it was probably because the saddle was gone and she can't see, but I had a double-take at that moment.)

Ty Lee and Mai cracked me up. Ty Lee's overly cheerful flirting with Sokka ("it looks like we're dancing!"), and Mai's "whatever" attitude ("just take the bear") were thoroughly enjoyable.

But what happened to Suki??? They never say.

Finally, there's the fight scene <333 Zuko and Azula worked surprisingly well together o.O When they were standing side-by-side, both poised for attack, it just seemed so right somehow >.>

It was so cool how everyone fought everyone. First it was Zuko vs. Aang and Azula vs. Katara, then it switched to Zuko vs. Katara and Azula vs. Aang. It was great seeing all the different attacks. Zuko's definately improved his firebending, even though he hasn't exactly been practicing. Those fire whips were pretty sweet. And when Zuko protected Azula from Katara, it's like it could almost be interpreted as big brother protecting his little sister. Or maybe that's just me >.> Those two rarely, if ever, show any sibling affection, so yeah...

Okay, well, I'm done spazzing >.> But I seriously can't wait for season 3.

[vice]

Toph can metal bend!?! I was completely shocked, but it was kinda obvious after "Even metal is...." I knew at that instant she could. I don't even think she was being big-headed, she is the best earth bender in the world. And from what I saw so far, no other water bender is as good as the current Katara. The part when they are escaping from Azula, Zuzu(Azula's pet name) wants to take her and the Dai Li on, I thought he was going to put up a fight and have a cool moment, but noooo.

I hope Azula doesn't take all the credit, and ruin Zuko's chances of being bad again.(He already screwed the good guy thing unless he kills his sister or father, or helps get the city back.) As soon as Zuko aimed his fire at Aang I was like @#$%!

[taka]

WOW.

I LURVE AVATAR. ;D

However, there are still questions in my mind left unanswered. And I have to wait for... how many months again? Too many.

Aang and Katara: Aang 'let her go' to enter the Avatar State. Was he able to 'regain' her, at the end, as it seems to say as they embrace? Or has he truly lost her forever? Can they be together? I think the creators have made it abundantly clear this is THE ship, whether or not people want it. But will it be able to happen, via restrictions of the Avatar State? Perhaps in this new form of enlightenment, Aang is able to be with Katara BECAUSE he let her go.

Suki and the other Kyoshi Warriors: God bless their souls, they're STILL stuck somewhere.

Zuko and Azula: The new doubleteam is undefeated in tag team bending matches. Can anyone stop them? ;D

Iroh: Will HE be Aang's firebending teacher? I can see an early episode next year being the Gaang freeing Iroh, and he joins the Gaang.

The Earth Kingdom: It is defeated. It has fallen to the Fire Nation, and now, the only nation left 'free' is the Water Tribes. Will they be attacked? A return to the South Pole is perhaps in the future for our friends. I think that we will return to one of the poles before Season 3 is over.

The next move: Who does it belong to? The Gaang needs a firebending teacher for Aang. However, they have now lost their surprise attack on the eclipse date, and they have lost their means of doing so. Are they going to do it alone?

Bumi: He's going to blowout the Fire Nation in Omashu one of these days. But when? How? Why? What will he do afterwords?

The Gaang: All back together again. Where the heck are they going?

The Fire Nation: Do they attack the water tribes after failing to defeat them a few months previous? Such an attack would be risky. They might lose their whole fleet.

Metalbending: WTF?! This had better not happen again! ( ;D)

And, finally:

Bosco: How the heck is Appa going to CARRY all those people? It makes no sense to me.

Ah well. ;D
