The avatar series consist of four elements but now I see how zuko (not sure if thats his name or if thats how you spell it) said something like "my father said my sister is a prodigy and so lucky to be born with such skill....and that I was lucky to ever be born" Now I can see why, his sister is the only person that can shoot lighting and even though its sort of cool, wtf is up with that. It kinda ruined the elemental circle @_@ Zuko is still one of my favorites becuase he fights, not to get rid of the avatar, but to capture him to gain his fathers love and respect. And even though he is kinda mixed up and selfish I feel he will join up with the avatar or atleast help him along the way and eventually fight his father in the process.

Well, she's obviously a prodigy, but you can that their uncle could manipulate lighting as well. Personally, I think lighting is a category of fire, much like ice is to water, stone is to earth, and wind is to air. It just probably takes a large amount of skill to manipulate the sub-categories (like how Katara makes the cool ice stuff) I don't think Sohka's an annoying character. Sure, he's the comic relief guy, but so is Aang. And, like the avatar, Sohka has plenty of moments where he's a dependable and responsible guy.

Wow, that general guy was a fuckin' bastard. He pretty much treated Aang like a weapon rather than a person. =/

Ooh, a Sohka looks like SUCH a surfer with his hair down, especially with that choker XD;;.

I'm surprised to see how truly brutal Zuko's sister (still can't remember the name) is too. I can't wait until Aang and her face-off...

But seeing that Zuko and his uncle are now officially outlaws running from the Fire Nation, maybe they'll team up with Aang and co.? That way, his uncle can teach Aang fire-bending after he learns from Bumi.

Speaking of Bumi, maybe they'll all meet at Omashu? It's pretty much one of the only strongholds left against the Fire Nation, and I can see King Bumi the type of person who'd welcome anyone into the country. But, I also wonder if Bumi is still alive; I mean, he's more than a hundred years old, although there's no guarantee what the death age is in this world. Still, it would be interesting to see another earth bender that would help Aang....

I see what your saying about different elements being combined from one like water with ice, or the way earth is created into mud but I dont see how fire creates lighting. I would think that Lighting would go along the lines of water or maybe wind but fire is different from my point of view. "Uncle" I think Can't Create Lightning he can only manipulate it, thats why he grabbed her hand and sort of Projected the attack to another direction, but zuko's sister can only create it out of her own body. So I still think she's a "one and only".
I was surprised to hear that he needed to go to back to his friend Bumi for training, He should have sought it when he was already there but I guess he needs to learn them in a certain order for him to control the next properly so he wont cause the problem as when he tried to learn fire bending.

I personally think lighting is a better sub-category for fire instead of water or wind, since lighting and fire both have "energy", y'know? And lighting creates fires, much like how ice will eventually melt into water, or how stone is "earth" particles...

...>_<;; Well, maybe that didn't make much sense.

Anyways, Zuko's sister (STILL can't remmber the name, argh. I should just rewatch the episode) is a total bitch, I love her. She a really interesting foil for Zuko, and I wonder how far she'll go in order to capture the avatar and her brother and uncle.

I forgot to mention this, but poor Zuko! He was so happy that his father wanted him back, but now he knows that he's seen as a worthless failure. I wonder though, since there's probably no way he can (re?)gain his father's trust, will he even bother to hunt the avatar? Or, will he be even more determined to capture him before his sister...?

When he burns Katara's hands, he demonstrated that he couldn't control the wildness of fire.

The dude said something about learning the other elements first becuase fire is too wild to control

Suuposedly, super strong water benders can manipulate people like puppets because human beings are composed of about 2/3 water. That being said, I wonder if Katara'll manage to do that?

Ugh, if Avatar had a high rating, it'd be interesting to see if a waterbender can make someone explode. But that's pretty greusome...

I think Zuko's my favorite character. I love how much character development the creators are putting into Zuko. They give him a tragic backstory, but they don't change his current personality. Love his new hairstyle too XD.

But who were thinks his mother died? Or did she simply run away? Did she kill Fire Lord Azulon?

I also want to see more Earth-Bending Toph! She's going to be an interesting member of the party; I wonder how she'll interact with the rest, Sokka in particular.
