Avatar: The Last Airbender


I'm jealous lol. This show is the perfect mix of Asian culture and adventure. I'm just mad somebody beat me to it.

Avatar: The Last Airbender is about a journey of three kids that helps Aang fulfill his duties as an Avatar and stop the Fire Nation from taking over the world. However, the Avatar is just a 12 year-old boy who loves playing and riding various animals like Koi and penguins. He gains help from a girl named Katara, a waterbender, and her brother Sokka who is a goofball.

Prince Zuko is from the fire nation and is trying catch the Avatar to be accepted by his father. And man is this guy buff lol. He is aided by his Uncle who is calm and loves Asian food!

This show is amazing. It's not some pseudo anime and has unique qualities of it's own. the animation is beautiful and the choreagraphy is great. You can really tell they consulted with Chinese martial artists.

It is airing now at Nickelodoen on Fridays 8/7 c. Go see it and keep this show on the air because it is simply beautiful.

This would probably be my last post about my interests. In the next month, it shall focus solely on The Animation Show. Posted by Hello

Your right! The backrounds are amazing. And your right about Prince Zuko, he is one hot prince! I think this show is gonna be very popular and I bet it's giving Nickalodeon better ratings. It they ever try to cancel this show, I'm going to be sooo mad and start a petition. Anyway, the outfits that the people wear are very oriental and you can tell that they put a lot of detail into it. This show is so awesome and all I can ever think about is Avatar. I draw pictures and write stories about the show.

I too am nuts over Zuko! I have a couple questions if anyone can answer them! Ok, #1: How did he get that scar on the side of his face/head?! And #2: Why was he banished in the first place? Do you really think that his father doesn't accept him for who he is? Please answer! I am dying to know!

Ellen Yu said...

I think he got a scar from fighting another firebender. Sadly, I think also fighting a firebender caused him to be banished. Which is an important lesson! Don't fight with fire lol.

They haven't revealed much in the show, but I'm going to guess that his father is pretty strict. He probably felt he dishonored the family and banished him. But tis okay, I like his Uncle much better anyway.

Nicole, Prince Zuko is a stud muffin! I really hope this show stays. I really don't trust Nickelodeon (cough) Angry Beavers.

Wow thanks for posting. I'm just wondering how you found my blog? I usually never have anybody comment lol.

Ellen Yu said...

I'm guessing Nick will reair the episodes again in a marathon kind of style. Sorry...I have no idea when they rerun past episodes, but I do they will show them again.

Keep checking your local listings.
This site has an episode guide if you need to catch up: http://www.tvtome.com/tvtome/servlet/EpisodeGuideSummary/showid-28841/Avatar_The_Last_Airbender/

Also this site is neat as well:

I hope you can catch up ^^

They already are showing rerun, I keep catching it on the weekend in the afternoon. I don't remember the time does, but I do know they show last new episode before the new one appear. If any one don't mind is there any gruss about how Aang going to learn fire bending?

Anonymous said...

I don't know this is turth or not, but thrown my seach of character bio for the short, (not for a web sit, it just a old habbit of mine) well any way I heard once that the person that gave Prince Zuko that scar on his face was (there two people that is guss that ether one did)...For the first one Comander Zhao, and the other one...your right it was a firebender and that why he was banished...his- in second through I don't want to reveal him yet, Hint: he haven't appeared on the show yet, but he is talk about on the show sometime.

REMEMBER: I don't know if any of this is truth for sure.

Ellen Yu said...

lol M don't tell me who did gave Zuko the scar. I must avoid spoilers ^^

Yeah, I noticed a marathon was on today as well.

Aang, I'm guessing will have to learn firebending. He needs to balance all four elements, but the only problem is who will teach him? I guess I have to keep watching to find out :p

At Nick.com the show episode times and a short discrition

Prince Zuko got his scar from his father for disagreeing with him on something and then having a fight.
That's what I think. I believe that was talked about in the third or fourth episode.

Ellen Yu said...

Yeah, it is unclear what really happened to Prince Zuko, but I just love his scar ^^. I hope they have a whole Zuko episode.

I also really love his Uncle lol.

People may have been disappointed with Winter Solstice: Part II (I admit I was a little surprised about the comet thing ><). However, this show is so superior to anything I have seen lately...all is forgiven lol.

Anonymous said...

^-^Zuko is cool!I agree tat they should make one big Zuko episode.I've drawn a TON of pictures for the show.I'm a fanatic X-x...Well,I think Zuko battled Commander Zhao,not his father.I think he thought of his father as his idol before he was banished.Poor Zuko*cries*

Anonymous said...

I just wanted to say that Zuko rocks. He's amazing. My theory is that he's not really all that bad of a guy inside. He put rescuing his uncle over capturing the Avatar in "Solstice pt 1" and that made me fall in love with him all over again. He just needs a feminine touch. *grins sweetly*

Anonymous said...

am i the only person who likes aang? i think he's super cute. ^^

if you do too, please tell me!

oh, and i also think that he and katara should end up together. they make a cute couple.

i hate the zuko katara pairings that some fanfics have.

ughh!!! aang katara forever!

^-^

am i just obsessed or does this:
^-^
look like Appa now?

Ellen Yu said...

katarang I guess there is a lot of Zuko fans lol

I love Aang of course ^^ He's always such a jolly and carefree person. Actually, I love everyone on the show even Commander Zhao (bad guys make the good guys better :)

I guess people are so fascinated by Zuko because he's buff lol.

Katara and Aang would be cute together. But Aang better watch out for Haru, he's a stud muffin as well.

I wonder what Zuko did with Katara's pendant anyway 0.o? lol Maybe he used to decorate his room lol.

Appa is so cute (^O^)>> Making a symbol for Appa is hard. If you squint, it kind of looks like him.

Anonymous said...

Katarang, I love Aang too! So maybe he's not all buff, but he's the cutest, sweetest character in the show!

"stud muffin" Very funny :p Zuko and Haru are definitely studmuffins. But I like Aang.

Gesura said...

we finally! got to know what happened to suko's face. He was in a secret fire bender military conference with his uncle, he was listening to another fire bender strategy against the earth kingdom when he suddenly spoke without permission, his father got mad at him because he said that was "VERY" disrespectfull and he said had to dull a fire bender, "anetmikai" (i think that's how you spell it). Suko acepted the challenge without knowing that he was going to fight his father and when he found out it was to late, half of the upper side of his face was burned, and because Suko didn't want to fight his father and allowed him to attack without defending himself his father banished him from fire nation territories, and said he was only to come back when he captured the avatar, and then he would restore his honor and his rightfull place in the throne.

Ellen Yu said...

lol I'm very flattered that people liked the word "stud muffin."

Sorry Sara, I'm usually late when posting comments on this post. It's not my latest (although my most popular) post on my blog.

I recently made a really wacky review on this blog on the Blue Spirit episode.
http://hbthingy.blogspot.com/2005/06/avatar-episode-blue-spirit.html

Thanks for your comments!

I know http://avatarfans.net has a forum if you need more posting ^^

Anonymous said...

First of all, I'm not anonymous, I just don't have an account, but, anyways. I prefer Sokka over the rest for some reason, mainly because he's funny and a big goofball like my best friend. Aang is cute and Zuko is a smexeh(you probably know what I mean, aye?) firebender, but I like Sokka best. Mineth!*clings*

Heh.xD;

Ellen Yu said...

Not to sure Sarah. Since the firebenders seem to be able to shoot fire from their feet anything is possible.

If this is true, I might call Zuko "Dragon man."

And yes, Sokka is quite awesome lol. I won't steal him away. I already got a real life stud in my life....with comedic value as well ^^

Anonymous said...

I am IN LOVE with Avatar: The Last Airbender. The story is just excellent and don't even get me started on the animation. Wow, that stuff is awesome. Avatar needs some more fans here, it's a great show. Three cheers for Nickelodeon for finally pulling through! Prince Zuko is my favorite character, but not because he's one excellently drawn character. I love the conflict that he has. In my opinion, he should just drop the avatar search party. His dad's a JERK for scarring him and such and Prince Zuko would be much better off without him. Aang is a sweetie as well. :) I am very mad that Avatar is on a current hiatus. I read somewhere that it's not coming back until next year? WHAT?? Bring Avatar back!
~*~Kim~*~

Ellen Yu said...

Avatar I think right now finished it's season finale when it showed "The Blue Spirit." This episode is the 13th episode so it's no surprised that they stopped here. 13 episodes are generally a season in America. So don't worry Avatar is coming back. I read somewhere that the show is quite popular, so cancellation is hopefully out of the question ^^.

Sarah, I understand your confusion with the Blue Spirit episode. Zuko used a water pail (don't know why they have water pails in a Firebender camp lol) to fling water (he didn't waterbend) at the guards as a distraction then used martial arts to take him out.

I don't think he jumped out of the ground to cling onto the wagon. Anybody who is stealthy can cling to wagons, ceilings, and walls. It is just the law of stealthyness lol. I could be wrong. I haven't watched the episode in a while.

I hope that helped. Avatar is taking a little break. Animator's need some time to make the show you know :p

Anonymous said...

Yeah I was a little confused about the water too. The first time I saw it I was like, "Oooo this guy's a water bender." And when I saw it was Prince Zuko I was like, "Whaaa???"
But then I watched it again and figured it all out.
Sarah: Isn't Prince Zuko awesome? Haha, he definately is my favorite character out of them all. Aang is still very sweet though. I feel bad because he's just a kid. But then I saw the episode of "The Storm" and the look that Prince Zuko and Aang exchanged showed their feelings. They're both children with heavy burdens placed on them that they don't want. This show has such a lot of feeling to it. It's a nice breather from the endless antics of Spongebob Squarepants and Timmy Turner.
I heard somewhere that each Avatar episode costs $1,000,000 to make! I guess I understand why they have to take a break I guess... Still, NEXT YEAR? *breaks down into uncontrollable tears* I can't wait that long!!!

Anonymous said...

Oooo I wanna download some! But my older brother would probably kill me if I did, haha. I can only use his computer. Anywho, I'm still as in love with Avatar as ever. I mean, I really want to see some more episodes. Luckily Avatar is really popular so Nick might keep it up. But if they take it down, then I WILL sue them for their wrongs, haha. I'm so obsessed, my bro thinks I'm crazy (which I am) and so do all my family members. Ah well. What're you gonna do?

Anonymous said...

Oh well. Have yo guys seen what happen to Zuko yet? I can't believe I thought that Commander Zhao did it!!!

Anonymous said...

This is the entire story about what happend to prince zuko.(Who is sooooooooooo HOT)lol
The Storm
A storm puts everyone in danger and brings up their unbearable past. Memories of Aang's past give him nightmares and Zuko remembers when he was banished by the Fire Lord.

Aang had a normal life as a monk, until he was told he was the Avatar. Trained like mad and ostracized from his friends, Aang finally decides to run away when he thinks he will be sent away from his teacher. He is caught in a horrible storm. His Avatar powers freeze him in ice and the next thing he knows, a hundred years have past. Aang suffers terrible guilt over abandoning the people he loves, especially after a nasty fisherman insults him.

On his ship, Zuko is being ornery and getting the crew really angry, acting like a spoiled brat by acting like he doesn't care if the crew lives. One of the soldiers challenges Zuko and only Uncle Iroh manages to break up the fight. When Iroh tries to talk to Zuko and puts a hand on his shoulder, the young prince pushes him away.

The soldiers later gripe about Zuko, when Iroh asks the right to explain. He narrates the story of Prince Zuko's exile. Zuko is shown as a handsome boy with long brown hair and a sweet face. He wants to get into his father's war chamber in order to learn how to be a good ruler. He is initially refused, but Uncle Iroh allows him to join the discussion on condition of silence. Of course, when one of the generals offers a plan of victory that involves the sacrifice of a division of the army, Zuko breaks his promise and speaks up. The Fire Lord grows angry and demands that the dishonor of Zuko's disrespect be solved with a fire duel, or "Agni Kai". Zuko thinks he is fighting the general, but his opponent turns out to be his own father. When Prince Zuko sees this, he goes on his hands and knees, bowing low and begging his father for mercy. His father demands that he get up and fight, but Zuko refuses. The poor boy is shaking with fear and crying, as his father declares "You WILL learn respect and suffering will be your teacher," Iroh looks away as the screen lights up with fire and a horrible scream is heard. Zuko is later banished because his refusal to fight was seen as a "shameful weakness", and the only way to redeem himself is to find the Avatar. The crew was unaware of Zuko's punishment and feel great sympathy to him. Iroh declares that life will never return to normal, but the Avatar gives Zuko hope. Zuko is then shown meditating, remembering running in the garden with another child and standing with his father, in a happy moment. His smooth youthful face then morphs into his older scarred face. Lightning hits the ship. In a move of true selflessness, Zuko climbs up the mast of the ship to save a crew-member. He then allows the Avatar to go free, finding it more important to help his crew to safety. He also apologizes to his uncle. As Aang flies away, Zuko and Aang share a glance that show how similar they are, children with such heavy burdens on their shoulders.

Yeah, Fire Lord Ozai is really gonna earn the "Father of the Year" award, won't he now?
Anywho, Sarah you are lucky. My parents don't give me allowance... Prince Zuko is one hott character, isn't he? Even with the scar. That just gives him some more evil personality. It's like a girl magnet instead of a defect.
I'm still annoyed at his voice though. Prince Zuko is none other than Dante Basco. Otherwise known as Jake Long from Disney Channel's "American Dragon: Jake Long." I sooooo cannot believe that. From elegant Prince Zuko to chinese ghetto poser speaking Jake Long. I am very mad!!!

Anonymous said...

Haha, I know. From the moment that I first heard Prince Zuko speak I just recognized that soft almost lispy voice that he has. I was all, "Hmmm... I KNOW I've heard that somewhere..."
And then I figured out he was actually Jake Long. I'm sorry, but that show really ticks me off. I watch it sometimes because it interests me with the dragons and mythical creatures and stuff. But I just cringe when I hear that kid speak! *shudders* It's horrible! I hear that kind of talking in my worst nightmares over and over again...
Anywho, I am still very mad over Dante Basco even agreeing to voice Jake Long (Haha) and that Avatar is on a very long hiatus. I suppose I have to be patient with the creators, I mean it is a lot of hard work. But I really miss my weekly Avatar showings...

Anonymous said...

Yay, more Avatar shows! I guess Dante Basco uses a much better voice with Prince Zuko than with Jake Long. Also I haven't gotten any pictures yet. Though I will in the next school year. I'm gonna have a binder stuffed full with all anime pictures, both the ones that I have drawn and printed out ones. Thankfully I'm getting my own laptop in August for high school so I am very happy.
I'm gonna have to watch the Avatar shows tomorrow night, thanks for the heads up!

To all of your questions... Avatar is on a long hiatus and won't be coming back till next year, 2006. But give the creators and animators some slack! Each episode costs a huge amount of $1,000,000 to make. So I suppose they deserve a long break. But Avatar will be coming back. It's a popular TV show and so I don't think Nickelodeon will be cancelling the show any time soon. :)

Damnit! I can't watch the first two episodes! I'm in a theater production of, "Oliver!" and it's Tech Week. (For all the people who've been in theater before, you know what it's like...) So basically we're there from 6:00 PM to 1:00 AM and I'm fried by the time we're done... But, getting to the point, I can't watch the first one, which is what I REALLY wanted to see! I've never seen it before... Does anyone know of a way I can see them on the computer? Awww, I'm super mad now...

Haha, that sounds like such a cute name! And I love the idea of having your pet come to you when you say "Yip Yip!" Lol, that's so cute!
Anyway, I definately think your theory is right Sarah! Or the basic plot anyway. But I think that there'll be a whole lot of character conflict within Zuko mostly on what to do. He has to just drop something he's been doing for two years and finally give up on his sorry jerk of a father. And I do think that he might teach Aang how to firebend (maybe along with his Uncle Iroh). If not him, who else? Besides, Zuko has already showed a ton of progress in possibly changing his character. Especially in Episode 13, you can tell he's thinking it over really hard. ...As well as looking totally hott with his shirt off in his room :D Hehe

the only thing i'm confused about is that when they stop showing new episoids which is now about a month and acouple of weeks every episoid it says "book one water" when i first watched the show (i'm really not one those people who watches new things right away) but i decided to watch avatar the first time and i loved it and it was funny!! the cowincidence was that i was supposed to have my braces removed the next week and the secound avatar episoid was also the week i had them taken off and i was real nervous but i had something to look forward to lol!! But back on subject i thought that in each book that aang would learn each element from what the books were titled and i thought book one WATER meant that he would learn to water bend in that book i look online nick.com at there "before show clip" and it showed some person water bending at first this is crazy really i thought he wouldn learn how to do anything till the end but in the first epiosoid there isn't much to think about except that he's a guy who can do tricks with wind and katara's a girl who can do tricks with water and sokka obviously could'nt do any thing lol!! except it looked like every thing happens to him cause in almost every episoid he see's the negative side of things and then something bad happens to him perfect example in the episoid JET!
i found out a lil while ago that zuko (some one ask this question) is not the bad guy here it's his father and he's only been drivin mad because of what we all saw in "the dream" and then in the blue spirit he's the one who rescues aang but i'm not to sure of the circumstances of that except that maybe he was trying to free him because as his uncle iroh said "the avatar gives zuko hope" or maybe he was so desperate to capture him as you see in the middle but then why was he spying on zhao in the begining? and by the way who gave people the idea that it was zhao who gave him that scar you find out in the dream who it was but i won't spoil it for those who haven't seen it !!!

Anonymous said...

Hi. I bet you that mostly girls watch the avatar. It seems like at least once they talk about Zuko. I think the reason they are taking a break is because they have to find out diffrent problems. But i don't think it would be hard to draw Aang, because it shows how the guy draws him. Bu it's kinda in fast motion. I hope they show how to draw Zuko, Katara, Sokka and Iroh. I think that would be so cool.

I wonder where everybody is coming from, like what state they live in because tommorow, in VA, the Avatar is coming on at 7:30pm and since we are all into the avatar. But, it's the Blue Spirit. That's my favorite episode. I'm wondering if you guys know why Zuko saved Aang? I think i know why, but i want to hear what you guys have to say. Actually see what you have to type, but you know what i mean. But Olivia, have you been anonymous this whole time, or only just sometimes?

Anonymous said...

Wow there have been a ton of new comments since I last commented. :)
The Avatar art is actually quite complex and takes a while to make. They have to make all those different scenes one by one and the art is definately not the normal type of cartoonish art. Also, the Avatar episodes are very expensive to make, going up to $1,000,000 per episode. So you can understand why the creators of Avatar have to take a break. :)

I think Zuko definately has a good side to him. Commander Zhao had captured Aang before Zuko got the chance and so he went to the fire nation camp in disguise thinking to himself that he was only doing this so that HE could get the Avatar and earn back his father's love and his nation's glory and honor. Of course at the ending, when he's leading Aang away from the camp with the swords around Aang's neck, he was probably just going to take Aang to his ship. But he got hit with an arrow and everything went wrong. And then Aang saved him and spoke to him. So basically, Aang's words make Zuko think twice about what he was doing... Am I reading too far into this episode? Lol.

Anyway... If anyone can understand what I just said then you're amazing.

today is friday, and at 7:00 or 7:30 an episode of avatar is coming on. (well in VA)Olivia, who is your favorite character? OK, my guess was right about the whole prince Zuko thing, but i don't get this, if PRINCE Zuko is still a prince, but he's banished, doesn't people have to still listen to him? Or since he's banished, he's technically just a really cute teenager? I don't understand, because Zhao treats Zuko like a pesant, doesn't he? But Zuko can still kick his BUTT!!!!lol (well in episode i think 3) But I think it is so incredibly stupid zhao is copying off of Zuko!!!!! Why can't he go and fight the war with the others? But, if you guys want to see Zuko(just drawings duh) you guys can go to yahoo and say PICTURES OF PRINCE ZUKO FROM AVATAR THE LAST AIRBENDER and then go to the one that says fan art at the end and it has Zuko in caps. Some of them are really good at drawing. Okay, PLEASE POST PLEASE PLEASE.:)

Zuko got his scar from his father. One time, there was a meeting held by the Fire Lord. He was not allowed to attend but he asked his uncle to take him. His uncle told him not to speak. When, they were in the meeting, he opposed a general and his father got mad. He sent him to a fight. He thought he was going to fight with the general, little does he know that he was going to fight his father coz his father said that Zuko disgraced him.

Then, because Zuko didn't fight his father, he was banished. According to the Fire Lord, he showed cowardness. and so, Zuko wants to capture Aang to be able to bring his honor back.

Hey guys! I'm surprised all of you still post here. I wanted to link an article that was in the New York Times. It describes how the creators got a chance to make the show and reveals the episode count of the series.

"Nickelodeon initially ordered six "Avatar" episodes, quickly upped the order to 13 after the show's premiere in February, then increased it again to 20. Currently the first 13 episodes are in reruns; seven new installments will show in the fall, completing the first "book" of Mr. DiMartino and Mr. Konietzko's story. The entire tale runs to three books and 60 episodes - which happens to be the number that Nick likes to have in hand before "self-syndicating" a show, running it Monday through Friday to create a habit for its audience. That's the formula that turned "Rugrats," for instance, from a middling success to a phenomenon."

So they haven't finish book one yet and the offical episode count is 60. I'm glad this series has a set ending.

Woo hoo, I'm back. Because Avatar finally put out a new episode! Wow, I don't think I've posted for about 2 months...
Anyway, it was a really cute episode! I ain't putting any spoilers in here, but for all of those who haven't seen it yet, it is definately worth seeing. Aang displays some seriously awesome bending moves and there's a nice Katara/Aang moment (well sort of). But I'm not putting anything more in there.

Anyway, if you didn't see it last night, I suggest you go and find the time listings for your local area and watch it! It was a really nice beginning to a new season... Or I think it's a new season... So, happy viewing!

Oh, I guess it's not a new season then. I was sort of hoping it would be, but if they're gonna expand more on the first book then that's fine with me. I'm not complaining at all. Avatar has been a really great show so far and the episode that showed an hour ago was so sweet! Go watch it people!

eh ive seen better like Naruto,Bleach,Code lyoko but this is up their wit my favorites i like aang hes cool but funny

I just wanted to say that I really enjoy Avatar. I've seen many episodes and have come to appreciate the fact that it is not stupid or pointless like some other shows [cough] Ed, Edd and Eddy. This show actually shows good plot and intruiging premice. The art on Avatar is great and the affects and music in the fight between Zuko and commander Zhao was tremendous, I get chills whenever I see it.
I do hope it stays on, I think they should cancel some of the other shows on Nick just to keep Avatar on the air. I hate having to wait untill the weekends to see it, it's way too cool.
I think Zuko should give up on the fire nation [since they gave up on him]. I also thought the Blue Spirit was awesome, every epsiode seems to give more insight into how Zuko is really just a troubled teen trying to gain his Father's trust. He deserves better, don't you think?
We as fans will have to post a lot more requests to keep this show going I think. Are you with me?

It's been awhile since I've been on a computer, but I had a cool dream last night! Zuko and Iroh switched personalities for some reason, and Zuko was all drinking tea, and playing Pai sho, or however you spell it, and Iroh was all, "I need to capture the Avatar!" It was cool. The last episode was really a cliffhanger at the end. I won't spoil it, but it freaked me out! Also, I liked the episode when Aang learned firebending, because,
SPOILER WARNING ALERT!!!!!!!!
he made Zhao burn his own ships with his own fire!!! That was cool! But I'm with the last anonymous, and I think Zuko should just quit trying to capture Aang, and team up with him or something. Cause when Aang kicks ozai's butt, Zuko will be the fire lord anyway, so long as Irih vouches for him. And he could call off the war. I don't know, it's just a prediction.
One last thing, HI KIM!:)

Hi! It's Sarah again, but I still don't remember my password. I just wanted to say I thought the one episode where Aang learns firebending,at the end, was funny!
SPOILER WARNING ALERT!!!!!!!!!!
Sokka:"Oh, and how about the time I had two fish hooks, IN MY THUMB!
Aang:"Two?"
Katara:"he tried to get the first fish hook out with another fish hook."
Anyway, just saying!

Anonymous said...

Hi! sarah again! But NEW AVATAR FRIDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It looks way cool! But I don't get this one thing because the commercial said there was going to be betrayal in it, and it showed Zuko wide-eyed, and then Iroh saying to this one masked guy:"If you go to the North Pole, the Avatar, will be yours." But that would mean he was saying that to another guy since it said betrayal, and I was thinking, "Man, he wouldn't do that to his nephew? Right? I said am I right!?"

Anonymous said...

okay Iroh was talking to Zuko in that preveiw. He got his scar in a fire duel. He had disrespected the fire lord and then during the duel refused to fight.

Zuko is the hottest thing on that show. ^_~

So its the day after thanks giving and Im still stuffed with terky,anywho... i waz watching the thanks giving special of the avatar when they show every episode of the avatar so far. they finaly mad it to the north pole.-_-(FINALY) I cant belive Saka liked that princes lady thingamejiger(funny word). In my opinion she is UGLY! By the way for those who do not know Zuko was 14 when he was punised/scared and is now 16. Cause his uncil says " in all your 16 years this is your stopidist idea yet"... what his idea was I can not remember. Oh yah Saka is 15 and Katara is 14.

Mr. Kaelin,

I'm not to sure what you mean by using the images on my website? You can use them as an example or reference. Most of my images are personal digital pictures so I wouldn't like them to put it on their own website. But they can use it as a reference.

My blog is a little mediocre compared to other websites I visit. I really like this website:
http://wardomatic.blogspot.com
It's a blog by an animator in Atlanta.

I hope your class enjoys making their own webpages.

Note: Some images and language may be inappropriate. I have a lot of nude drawings I recently posted. I would recommend visiting Wardomatic.

The North Seige Parts 1 and 2... Two words... Absolutely fantastic.
I was blown away. I laughed during the episodes and I got really touched at the ending... I was so heart-broken for Sokka... There was so much emotion and seriousness from him in this episode, which is strange... And that one scene where he says goodbye to her and they... But then again, no spoilers from moi. Let me just say I loved it. The animation was great. Two thumbs up.

We got to learn more about Zuko in these episodes! About his sister and how he was always living in her shadow...
And the ending of North Seige Part 2 was so good! Big cliffhanger for me. I wonder what's gonna happen to Zuko and Iroh once... Well, I won't say any more. xD

This show just keeps blowing me away. Every now and then I get disappointed, but then something like the North Seige Parts 1 and 2 just blow me away and make me remember how bloody AWESOME this show is. I'm still freaking out over it!

Can't wait for the next part!
Hey Sarah, I haven't spoken to you in like... Months! :)

i'm shocked after the end of the first book, specially when Zuko talked about his sister and when Aang became the spirit of the ocean, i can't wait for the second book, and i love Zuko

Back again to comment! Although I don't think anyone comments here anymore... Ah well, I keep coming back. ^_^
I am in honest anticipation of the 2nd Season which is coming out tomorrow. I'm so excited it's not even funny. The teaser commercials that they keep putting up are driving me insane. I MUST see it. 24 hours has never seemed so long to wait for...
Well, I hope everyone enjoys watching it tomorrow or any other time!
Ta!

Just finished watching the first episode of the second season of Avatar! For those who haven't watched it yet, you're in for a treat. It's VERY good, and a great start to the new season. I was practically an inch away from the television screen.

And the advertisments for the next Avatar...! Aang and Katara may kiss to escape a cursed cave or some sort. *shakes in excitement* Well, I hope you all enjoy it as much as I did!
