Up to date, hwah!
Now am caught up on Avatar, finished the Day of Black Sun and all. Thanks for everyone who took time out to assure me that it stopped sucking after The Beach, y'all were very right. XD
Blood-bending episode was utter win. Nicely creepy (I like that Toph heard people screaming underground :3 but why did they stop?) and full of evil. It makes sense in a horrible sort of way.
The invasion was awesome, if somewhat improbable. I can put aside my disbelief long enough to accept that Sokka and the Mechanist invented the submarine in who knows how little time, but I find it difficult to believe that at the end of season two, nobody actually had a conversation with anyone else. Here are examples of conversations that could have happened:
"So, about those girls who turned out to be from the Fire Nation and who took over my kingdom, I kind of told them all about our plan to attack them during the eclipse."
"Hey, Earth King, about those girls who turned out to be from the Fire Nation and who took over your kingdom, did you tell them anything of critical strategic importance?"
I was very pleased when the arrival of the Fire Nation balloons indicated that, yes, we still remember when that happened. But Avatar is good at not forgetting those kinds of details. On the other hand, I might have forgotten something. Like, why didn't anyone ask the Northern Water Tribe for help? Last I checked they had a powerful kingdom and an army of waterbenders. Why did we recruit hillbilly swampbenders, but not the army that's held the Fire Nation off the north pole for a hundred years?
I'm pleased that Zuko is getting his act togetherand ditching his sorry girlfriend and was trying to help Iroh, who is now at large with or without his help.
I love watching the bending; it's so beautiful and creative. I guess being an acrobat is kind of helpful, though. There were some mighty impressive ninja feats going on in the fight with Azula. Did she eat Ty Lee's brain after the heart-to-heart on the beach to steal her flexibility?
What happened to Suki damnit. :(
I don't know where or when the episodes actually air. (Uh, okay, I can guess it's on Nickelodeon.)
