timepiececlockIt's the seaon finale. It's only 1/3 over and already I'm in love with it.
EDIT: @$*)(#$*)(#@&(*%&#!###!!!!!!!!!!!!
"You rise with the moon. I rise with the sun."
EDIT 2: "You're like my sister." It's positively ridiculous how much I'm loving this season finale. All of it. Sokka. Katara. Zuko. Aang.
EDIT: #@*%#*@#!!!!!!!!!!!!CONTINUTITY! ROLE REVERSAL! ##)%&#@*%&&##@^))!!!!!
EDIT: Huh. Someone on the writing staff's a Miyazaki fan, I see. This episode was riddled with visual allusions to Mononoke Hime and Spirited Away (no-face!).
EDIT: Sokka. Sokka Sokka Sokka. ::hugs him:: It'll be okay.
Whew. So... how many people did Aang kill in tonight's finale? I need some avatar icons.
I'm now a Sokka/Yue shipper. Why must I keep shipping doomed ships?
The whole Sokka/Yue romance, especially the end, felt almost Arthurian to me. He's Lancelot to her Gwenevere. And even though they admit they're love they can't be together in the end... because she becomes the Lady of the Lake. And it's a noble sacrifice and now she's an immortal moon goddess Selene and he's the peasant Endymion and... I totally lost the metaphor and started jumping mythologies here but OMG POOR SOKKA AND YUE!
Zuko's sister is the prodigy? People have been speculating that she grew up in his shadow resenting him, but it turns out he grew up resenting her. What a fantastic turn-around. And now we have a new parallel-- gifted bender Zula compared to gifted bender Katara.
Speaking of Zuko... Zhoa is dead now, and Zuko's identity as the Blue Spirit is a secret again.

memlu: "Holy shit, Zuko is fucking hardcore. I mean, I know this isn't new information here, but oh my God."
Word.
He's like Bruce Wayne in Batman begins. He's like an ANBU ninja and the Terminator all rolled into one. He's a freaking machine.
The Zuko/Katara fight was kick-ass and sexy and whoa. Can we have entire episodes where they try to kill each other with fire and ice and poetic insults?
The parting conversation between Zuko and Iroh in the beginning broke my heart. "Ever since my son..." "I know." Iroh! Zuko!
And "I'm tired."
The face-stealing monster's voice was creepy. That was a great bit of voice casting.
OMG SOKKA. ::hugs Sokka so hard:: All my love, kid. All my love. I can't imagine you were my least favorite character in the beginning.
