Mark Watches 'Avatar: The Last Airbender’: S01E05 – The King of Omashu

NOTE: Due to the untimely passing of Elisabeth Sladen, this week's Classic Who watching shall be an episode from her career as a companion. I've changed the poll to reflect this. As we don't have much time to prepare, please get your votes in early and often so we know what we'll be watching Saturday morning.
