OMFG AVATAR
Okay, first of all, I want to thank the people who watch Avatar on my f'list for being so considerate with their icons and posting, because even though so many of these episodes aired in the U.K. months ago or leaked last week, I was able to watch them tonight with my whole family completely unspoiled. And it was awesome.

This show, you guys! I just love this show so much! Zuko was adorable, but not in a lame way like I worried he would be! And I loved that Toph trusted him first, because she has the least Zuko-related baggage. The story line about fire bending made so much sense and redeemed fire bending to the audience (and Aang), plus Zuko and Aang bonding over their mutual bending problems was ridiculously smart. And finding out how Iroh got his nickname? AWESOME. So completely awesome!

AND THEN OH MY GOD, THE PRISON BREAK. Which, okay, bored me a little at first because it seemed like Sokka was being uncharacteristically stupid. No way would his dad have wanted him to leave Aang and Katara to come after him! But I can forgive that, and SUKI LIVES and is still completely hardcore!

But the most awesome part by far was thinking all sorts of colorfully resentful thoughts about how much I FREAKING DESPISE AZULA and how she always FUDGES EVERYTHING UP, except then Mai turned on her to save Zuko! And then I just instantly fell in love with Mai and Mai/Zuko for the first time ever, because I really have not cared about her at all up until this point. And then Ty Lee turned on Azula to save Mai, and HOW RIDICULOUSLY AWESOME WAS THAT? Too awesome for words! For the first time ever, Azula got taken down, and it was her "friends" that did it. And Mai/Zuko! I am a believer!

So, yeah, I LOVED IT ALL. I can't wait for new episodes, only now I have to wait even looonger than July, which sucks. It is too bad Nick is such an inconsiderate network, because this is such a phenomenal little show.

Also omgomgomg I think mu favorite part of all four episodes is the Sokka-Zuko bonding, because it's like ... neither one of them has had a guy friend their own age before, Sokka 'cause all the other boys his age went off to fight the war and Zuko because he was (1) such a momma's boy (2) isolated by virtue of being royal and (3) banished and they're just such total dorks together and then SUKI IS KICKASS Y/Y?

Alsoplus, how amazing was - well - just absolutely everything? The third season has finally hit its stride and I am loving it.

Aw, look at you with your Sokka/The Ladies icon! And, yes, ITA!

I never had a problem with the stride of the third season, actually, but it is definitely gearing up for the end!

It took me a long time to get into S3 - I don't know whether it was because of the unforgivably long hiatus or the overlap with the end of semester doldrums or the sheer amount of filler, but it just did not kick me in the chest like S2 did.

But the Disc episodes absolutely kicked me in the chest like whoa and I'm totally not sure what my favorite bits were - Mai and Ty Lee's HeelFaceTurn were most assuredly not among the things I'd predicted, and the amount of prison-related darkness they injected into Boiling Rock was ... wow. BR2 made me fall in love with the show all over again.

man, I keep hearing about Avatar! A friend of mine actually forced me to sit down and watch the first episode, and I liked it, but then I got so busy I couldn't watch the rest. I really ought to hunt it down.

Hee. You should check it out whenever you get the chance. It's got a complex and ambitious narrative, so you'll have to start at the beginning, but it's worth it! It's an adorable show with great characters, and it's really, genuinely awesome.

Yeah, it does suck. The next volume of dvds is not being released until July 29. And I'm a bit bummed because the case picture had some major spoilerage on it. Gah!

Favorite Zuko moment is with Sokka having a boy conversation about girlfriends and him revealing, "My first girlfriend turned into the moon."

"That's rough, buddy."

Tehehehe!
