That's the response of any reasonable person.

…this is the same company that declared back in 2007 that movies with female leads never sold enough tickets and decided to stop making such movies. They cannot see the forest for the greed. (My phone autocorrected "trees" to "greed," and by golly I think it works!)

Yeah, I couldn't get through the first one. It left me feeling sickened at the gratuitous pointlessness.

Yep. "Transethnics," in this context (and not the traditional context, where it's used for people of one ethnicity adopted by a family of another) are white kids who have heavily fetishized aspects of non-white (often Asian, but sometimes not) cultures, and therefore decide that they ARE the other race. And then…

They need to listen to Porgy and Bess recordings and all of Burt Bacharach's hits. That's what all nonagenarians love. And Jeopardy!, that's totally hip now.

Or the "transethnics," which this seems to be most closely referencing.

Well, guess that's the end of the Zaheer/Ghazan friendship.

Same experience here, and the books I had to repeat were My Side of the Mountain and something about the Plague and monks that was set in medieval England and had 0 female characters.

Yep. The Northern Air Temple was one of the Gaang's final stops (possibly THE final stop?) before the North Pole. So it's WAY up there on the Earth Kingdom continent. Zaofu is relatively close to Ba Sing Se (it was built in the place where Toph discovered metalbending), and Misty Palms Oasis also can't be too far off…

I wish he would have sucked the life out of Zaheer right then. I know Tenzin's an honorable guy and that's not his style, but What Would Monk Gyatso Do?

I guess not. Jake and Jerome looked pretty babylike in their carriage, but maybe they get active faster than humans. Jake did have his little dance, but then he went immediately to sleep.

Well, but Glob isn't just Glob, he's also Grod, Grob, and Gob. So "gods" could still make sense maybe? We've heard Simon using Grod before.

That is also a possibility. But wow, those must have been some tired dog parents with 3 babies.

Well, I believe Jake's about 14 years older than Finn (I remember reading that he was 28 when Finn was 14). So I assume this was 29 or 30 years ago that this happened?

Seriously. That's the thing I hate the most that some people do: "I don't like X, or I haven't tried X but it doesn't LOOK like something I'd like, so IT IS SHIT!" It's so rude and arrogant and close-minded.

"[She's] not mean [she's] just a thousand years old and [she] just lost track of [her] moral code"

Yeah, but the Fire Nation seems more egalitarian in that way: in "The Siege of the North," remember, Yue, even though she was the only child of the chief of the Northern Water Tribe, was being forced into a marriage…and her husband would be the next chief. I don't know what the Earth Kingdom's rules are. (And…

Seriously? HAPPINESS!

Yes, and I get that. But there's a big difference between "my father died when I was [age]" or just not talking about the father and saying "we never knew our fathers," which introduces a lot more weirdness, mystery, possibly something sinister.

I guess you could say that's what I'm saying.
The writers kind of put themselves in a weird place with that line they gave Suyin. Easiest explanation is that the fathers are dead. But Suyin doesn't say that, so she either doesn't know what's up or…they're not dead.
They also put themselves in a weird place giving Toph…
