Mark Spoils: Sunday Summary - May 8 - 14

Sunday Summary - May 8 - 14

What does Mark have in store for us this week?

Well our review schedual shall be
Monday - Doctor Who: The Curse of the Black Spot
Tuesday - Avatar: The Deserter
Wednesday - The Northern Air Temple
Thursday - The Waterbending Master
Friday - The Seige of the North Part 1

So a pretty good week of episodes and ONE HELL of a cliffhanger for next Tuesday. That said, does anyone know when Mark was planning on watching the movie? Since it only covers Water we could be watching the movie as early as Wednesday. (And for the love of your sanity get the Rifftrax version. It's the only thing that makes it bareable.)

Also, starting Monday we're going to be starting our new 30 day meme! The full list is up in Friday's 'Bato' post, but our first five days are as follows:

DAY 1. Favorite Episode

DAY 2. Least Favorite Episode

DAY 3. Favorite Character

DAY 4. Least Favorite Character

DAY 5. What is your favorite outfit that any character has worn throughout the series?

For the record, spoilers are allowed, but please be kind to our watching along friends and put a spoiler warning in front of your post if it refers to the future! After all, if we can't tell the Doctor how he died, we can't tell everyone about the episode where Zuko and Sokka profess their love for each other, steal Appa, and get married in Omashu. Wait.... SHIT! Retroactive spoiler warning for that last bit!

I don't know why everyone goes on about the whole Zuko/Sokka getting together thing. I personally thought it was very fitting. But come on, the part where Momo accidentally stabs Katara with a knife, and Aang vows to enact vengeance on all lemurs, bats, and similar flying mammals? That was just weeeiiirrrdd.

But yay, 30 Day Meme! Also, Mark is so unprepared. Not just for the season finale cliffhanger (How does he always manage to get a weekend between two parters?) but because of that movie. Ugh, the movie. Distilled pain.

I have really conflicted feelings about the movie viewing. There are lots of jokes/pictures that I'd like to make/post but would be unable to because they have spoilers for the other seasons.

On the other hand, if we watch it after we finish the show, it will be the ending note of the avatar blog and that would leave a bad taste in my mouth :(

Really I think I'd rather continue to pretend it doesn't exist (truly, there is never a good time for TLA), but I do have a lingering morbid curiosity. And Mark seems set on watching it, so....I guess I'd prefer watching it after this season one finale. And then I can post the mocking pictures with spoilery things as they become relevant. We'll have to see what he decides!

(And I have a small hope that he will pull out an amazing double review on Friday or something because COME ON you can't just stop after that!)

Yeah, I'd rather not end the series itself on that horrid note. I too think if he really wants to watch it, it should come after the season one finale.

I am hoping too for a double review for ATLA this week, and to do the movie maybe the upcoming weekend.

Like I posted in reply to affableevil, I hope he chooses to do the movie after Book One's end, not after the whole series is over. I don't want to see him end the Avatar reviews with that travesty.

I'm not going to be able to give a good answer to day three of the meme, meanwhile. I have no one favorite character, because I just LOVE THEM ALL SO MUCH.

My objection is that the movie makes a reference to Hama. Specifically that she grew up in the Southern Water Tribe. That would kinda spoil the first act of that episode. (As if Mark won't hate the movie enough on its own merits. :P )

Not to mention THE SECRET LIBRARY!!! Did you know that Zhao found this scroll containing the ocean and moon spirits' true forms at THE SECRET LIBRARY!!! Because he totally stole it from THE SECRET LIBRARY!!!

P.S. THE SECRET LIBRARY!!!

Wow, that ref went right over my head, I missed that and forgot all about her mentioning Hama. Would that I could forget the rest of that horrid movie so easily.

But the advantage of seeing the movie after watching the whole series is that he'll have seen Ember Island Players and thus can make the proper mental comparisons. Plus we can have fun with it in the comments.

So is he going to do Siege of the North in two pieces, or all-in-one? Because yeah, that's one heck of a cliffhanger there.

Also, they were aired together as one big TV event thing. Didn't he say he wanted us to let him know when two-part stories were aired together, so he could watch them the way the audience did the first time around?

I'm still making my way through classic Who and oh god I love Romana I. The Pirate Planet is wonderful.

Moffat's been getting his snark on over on twitter.

(And he has responded to a number of 'stop killing Rory' tweets, but I liked this one best.)

The movie is spoilery about Hama so he shouldn't watch it until he's watched all 3 seasons.

Also, he has a busy viewing schedule and, quite honestly, I don't think he needs to watch it at all.
