oyceterWhoa! That was much plot!
Anyway, I loved the puppetmaster episode, which was truly creepy. I wish the show had done more with the medical stuff you could do with bloodbending (strokes! heart attacks! clots! gah!) and less with the puppetry, but I guess that's what fic is for ;).
I'm a bit amused by both Aang and Sokka's crises of confidence; do Toph and Katara get any later?
I was also wondering how they were going to wrap up the eclipse storyline; I couldn't really see the show going into peacebuilding and treaty-making, alas. I sort of wish they had... Oh well! I loved all the action, even though I didn't pay as much attention during the big fight scenes. Am less enthusiastic about Katara/Aang, but oh well.
The Sokka and Toph show continues to be awesome, though I think of them in a non-shippy way. It's the age differences! Two years aren't very big later on, but when you're teenagers, it feels pretty big! Maybe it is less big to them because they travel together and aren't in school. But yes, every time Sokka was like, "Toph! What would we do without you?" I cheered in agreement.
I also loved Azula's manipulation and the fact that she had the foresight to bring earth benders from Ba Sing Se. It was also really cool seeing old one-offs from previous episodes, even though I didn't remember most of them. I especially liked seeing the swamp benders again, given![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
kintail's commentary.
Speaking of which, how exactly is the bending distributed? Via nationality? Race? And if so, what do they do with expats, or multiracial people? My pet idea is that the Avatar must be multiracial; I doubt it's supported on the show, but that would be cool.
And! OMG! Iroh breaks out of prison! Awesome! Zuko SWITCHES SIDES! Zuko, I mock your emo at times, but you have earned a lot more respect from me now. If only you developed a sense of humor...
On a totally shallow level, I am going to miss everyone's red outfits.
But anyway! Zuko! Switches sides! And goes off in an airship to find Aang! This is going to be soooo interesting!
