So excited for this review today!! This is my favorite episode of season 1!
I love The Storm so much and I can't wait to read the comments later!
My next episode is the last episode and I DON'T WANT IT TO END.

WAH.

Shouldn't there be another book titled 'Air'?

Sigh.

I should not be so nervous over finding out whether or not random strangers on the internet enjoyed a half hour of television as much as I did.

AND YET I HAVE ALL THESE JITTERY STOMACH BUTTERFLIES

I can never tell if the review is late or if my computer is just not showing new posts again... can anyone confirm for me what's going on?

Mark's watching the episodes via the DVDs, right? By Netflix? Because I watched the episode on TurboNick to GET HYPED and they added a "Previously on" that pretty much outright says HEY ZUKO GOT THE SCAR FROM HIS FATHER IN A DUEL

Why couldn't The Great Divide review have been late instead? ;_;
Oh god, what if he doesn't put the review up today? That's not going to happen, right?
When the "Southern Air Temple" post was late, it posted at 1:40. So I'm guessing it'll be up in twenty minutes.

My new theory is that he broke his keyboard smashing on it and now he can't upload the review :(

I don't want to post in in Watches for fear of being rude, but "AND FIRE LORD OZAI IS PRINCE ZUKO’S FATHER." made me lol.

Hay ELSOS (and I guess anyone else who cares)

I'm just wondering how you're feeling about the future of Classic Who posts? I so love reading your posts, and I'm still going to be making my way through Classic Who for a looong time to come and I could talk about it for a long time, but if there isn't a lot of interest from others I wouldn't really want you to do them just for my benefit. I mean if you want to keep writing them by all means please do cause I love them all the same, but if you'd want to stop after tomorrow I totes understand.

I take it one must be a member to pose image links?

But yes, Ozai manages to earn the Ikari Gendo Parent of the Year Award here.

Zuko's story impacted Mark so strongly that it sort of breaks my heart. I know he had some rivalry going on with his sister, where he felt like his parents loved her more than him. THIS SHOW WILL DESTROY MARK OH GOD.
