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.

I still think the series need more permenent characters to stick with the series becuase they all eventually all come and go during only one episode. I just hope Saka remains as the only annoying character, he has enough of it to make me want to cut that rat he calls a hair cut >_<

OH MY GOD

Dude, I just watched episode 2 and it's incredible *__* Hooooollly fuuuuUUuuuuuck

In reference to your spoiler though, here are my thoughts:

Spoiler:

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.

Now, my general thoughts for the episode:

Spoiler:

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....

Jam it back in, in the dark.

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.

and thats all I got to say about that ^_^
Although I'd like to see a few new characters brought into the story that are a more permenent part of the plot. I'd like to see another "prodigy" that has the elements of a "fake avatar" in which I mean he can control all elements in some way.

Hmm, you have a point, but:

Spoiler:

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...?

I do think it's kinda weird how Aang visisted Bumi, but didn't learn any earth bending. Then again, he probably didn't know about the how comet thing, and might've been taking it easy, I suppose. Or maybe there's a reason to keep to the specific order?

EDIT: Oh shit, I just remembered!

In episode 16, the Deserter, Aang tries to learn fire-bending before he learns water or earth first, right? But it didn't go according to plan:

Spoiler:

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

So, does that mean that, for an air avatar, fire has to be last because it's the most conflicting element, or the hardest to control without learning the other three first? >_>;;

There's nowhere I can't reach.

And you got a point about lightining creating fire, but thats when it strikes something. I'll wait to see if she can actually create fire as well.

Oh, did you? My mistake! (And it's been a while since I watched that episode too ^_^;; )

I'm sure she can create fire; after all, she's a prodigy, right?

And I looked at the Avatar homepage, and (I'll put it in spoilers, although it's right there on the Nick site):

Spoiler:

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...

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I am totally going to buy the DVDs. Although I have all of the episodes on my computer, I'd rather have it in much high quality, and without the silly Nick logo -_-;; (plus, I'd be supporting the industry...or something!)

Anyways, who watched the episode 7, 'Zuko Alone'?

Spoiler:

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.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

So, Season 2 has been over for quite some time. Who here's watched it?

Spoiler:

WHAT THE FUCK.

Ba Sing Se, the last stronghold against the Fire Nation, has fallen. Aang and friends retreat after getting their asses handed to them, and Zuko, after some soul-searching, decides that his status as a Fire Nation prince is more important than saving the world and sides with Azula.

YEAH.

The season finale was pretty amazing, I was totally not disappointed. (Though the hug at the end was kinda lame, but hey, it IS a kid's show...?) Sokka parting with his father again, Katara almost healing Zuko's scar, Toph METALbending, and Aang-kinda-dying seriously blew my expectations away.

I don't know when the third season will start, but I wonder what's going to happen, with the solar eclipse and Sozen's Comet and whatever -_-;;

I was speaking idiomatically.

Er, I've been seeing a lot of torrents for episodes that haven't aired yet, which makes me a little suspicious to their nature. I know it's always possible that it could've been stolen or leaked early, but it seems that Nick is pretty strict about things like that.

Anyways, 'The Puppetmaster' was fuckin' awesome. Took me 'bout halfway to remember that character that was in the card game (I think it was a guy though?). It's episodes like these that make me wish that Avatar had a more mature rating. Still, they managed to put a LOT of dark undertones and implied brutality for the older audiences.

BLOOD-BENDING DX

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Season 3 WILL be the final season. Meaning episode 21 of S3 is the series finale.

Wait, Wikipedia is never an excellent source for concrete information, but if this book is the last season, I'm gonna be super upset (w-wh-what about the Air book!?)

Man, I want more Avatar episodes D:

Most amazing jew boots

Everyone's watched Boiling Rock, right?

Fuckin' awesome. I'm so glad the hiatus was broken by two excellent episodes~ I TOTALLY did not predict the ending at all:

Spoiler:

Mai turning on Azula (and her own country) was a shock, but seeing Ty Lee side with Mai was killer. Must be tough for the perfect Fire Nation princess to be betrayed, eh? Wonder if this will bring change to her character/personality at all?

After Boiling Rock there's only five more episodes, right? How the hell are they gonna end this series in five episodes??

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?
