Sometimes having a team of writers is better for this reason, even if it results in some dud episodes.
The writing in TLA was occasionally clunky too ("It's not like I'm a preachy crybaby who can't resist giving overemotional speeches all the time, right?"), but it was definitely funnier, which I think makes the…

I thought it was similar to Iroh's lightning channeling; you risk hurting or killing yourself unless you have superb control (or flow of chi or something in that case).
Especially given the visual in the series finale, where Aang sort of releases Ozai's power into the universe rather than keeping that energy within…

Damn, is that his movie review?  I should maybe return to occasionally checking topless robot…  And in a ludicrously nonsexy way, I miss Fan Fiction Fridays…

Eh not really.  I think only in my commenting experience.

It's cool, Chartex, I have a couple friends like you who aren't straightedge, but don't drink or smoke for their own reasons, either due to personal experience(thanks Dad!) or, I think like you, they're worried about losing control of their behavior.  In my meaningless armchair psych evaluation, they tend to pour…

Hey there fellow husky.
I was too into booze to consider it myself, but my straightedge friend made it to 1/2 way through his sophomore year as well, before descending into a SoCo-fueled haze.  I lived at the freak dorm with the vegan dining hall, so the pocket of (still, temporarily) straightedge kids were kinda…

Hello Rescue Rangers Theme Song, I'll be hearing you incessantly for the rest of the day.

Fucking WORD.  That Gummi Bears through Darkwing Duck (+Gargoyles) block ruled my childhood.

Oh staircar1, you and your Archie addiction.

No no she had 2 character traits: she wanted a man and she thought she was fat.

You love Michael?  Michael!

I was into (but not into, man) Marley in high school, but now I feel I'm too cynical and depressed to stand most of his stuff, especially what's on the radio.  Stand Alone is probably my favorite Marley song.  I swear if I ever hear Could You Be Loved? again I'm gonna choke a bitch.

Ugh, thanks O'Neal, that picture makes me never want to have sex again.

Ooh thanks.  The Nick site pains me, so I haven't done any research.

@everybody: I know, I know, like I said, it's juvenile, I just wanted to see Azula actually surrender to Zuko, and a giant KO appears.  It would've been good for the guy's self-confidence.  But she cheats cause she's beaten, and I like the way things turn out, it's appropriate thematically, especially given Katara as…

I was just thinking of this cause of Legend of Korra.  In the 2nd ep, there's a scene showing a number of monks at dinner or something in the Air Temple.  But Aang was the last airbender, so now the entire population of airbenders should be limited to his children and grandchildren.  So are all these monks potential…

I wouldn't say I was dissatisfied with Zuko's ending, I just wish he had gotten the closure from beating Azula himself.  I'm happy with his sacrifice and Katara asswhomping and all, especially thematically, but a small juvenile part of me wishes the kid could have beaten his sister for once.

"No Luke Skywalker you fucking inbred!"

I didn't think the end was a condemnation of youth in particular, more of a exegesis of humanity's cruelty I guess (fancy word time!).
After all, the suits and scientists have successfully kept this ancient horror in check for all this time, for which they deserve credit, but I think the movie shows us, with the…
