You all need to catch up on Avatar: The Last Airbender right now. Because it's getting GREAT.

I just watched episode 2x17 "Lake Laogai" early, because even though it hasn't aired yet it is online at Turbonick [on the main front page hit "top rated"].

It's the best episode of season 2 so far. The best since "Seige of the North" at the end of season 1.

I can't believe how much this show has grown and improved in just 27 episodes. I adore the Ba Sing Se subplot and once again I love the overall continuity of all the character arcs and the parallels and the timeline of events.

My favorite line of the episode :


Zuko: "Out of my way, skinny!"


I also caught movie references for 2001: Space Oddysey and Silence of the Lambs... you can argue with me on the last one but I'm pretty confident on the 2001 ref.


I gushed a lot to [livejournal.com profile] akavertigo while I watching watching... except for the last 9 minutes, which I could only watch and stare at in uninterrupted glee. Non-spoilery, but here is an excerpt from our conversation. I'm posting it for posterity's sake, and to remind me not to make assumptions because you know what happens when you do.


[livejournal.com profile] rashaka: [Zuko] can't wear that hair as well as Jet, who has the longer face.
[livejournal.com profile] akavertigo: true
[livejournal.com profile] akavertigo: and Zuko's hair is finer so he'll never have that volume
[livejournal.com profile] rashaka: probably
[livejournal.com profile] akavertigo: ....are we talking about hair and volume?
[livejournal.com profile] rashaka: I was. you have a gutterbrain // [livejournal.com profile] akavertigo: we're going to talk about shoes next aren't we?
[livejournal.com profile] rashaka: oh, nevermind
[livejournal.com profile] akavertigo: ......
[livejournal.com profile] akavertigo: ......................
[livejournal.com profile] akavertigo: I'm laughing right now
[livejournal.com profile] rashaka: ...
[livejournal.com profile] rashaka: go suck dead eggs
[livejournal.com profile] akavertigo: and grinning
[livejournal.com profile] rashaka: mange-moi.

I'm glad you found it! And what an episode to cap your marathon.

you know what it's like to be on a new fandom high, right?


Oh yes. You should have seen me two years ago when I came back from Fanime Con twitching all over because I'd seen the first 15 episodes of Fullmetal Alchemist in a row at the con, starting at midnight. I was whacked out from that delicious combination of NEW FANDOM! and NO SLEEP! combined with excessive amounts of diet coke.
