I'm sure there's some Avatards lurking ;) I love Avatar so much! I adore how it pleases me without condescending me, unlike many other present day cartoons would. It's witty, funny, even romantic in some parts, and all of this greatness is wrapped up within amazing animation.

But guess what fellow fans. The adventure is coming to an end. "New" episodes will begin playing on July 14, and the 19th will mark it's two hour season finale, ie, the end of Avatar.

I'm excited for this, and the fangirl in me is storing up many a squeal in anticipation, but I'm also a bit saddened. As cheesy as I'm being, the journey of Aang has been quite an epic one, and I know that the epic capacity will increase by over 9,000 during the finale.

So, if Avatar fans exist on this side of the interwebworld, flock! Come here, and let's all discuss a show that warmed many hearts, and touched many lives  ;D Also, is anyone planning any "Avatar Finale" parties? I know I am  ;)

I knew I couldn't be the only avatard here ;)

Remember those ooey gooey dough-cookie-things from "Avatar Day" way back in season 1? I'm going to replicate those for consumption during for the finale ;D I also want to make some variation of cactus juice.

Watching the series finale trailer from NYCC pumps me up so much! I'm especially curious to see how the "Smexy Sokka" clip at the end will be included into an actual episode  :D

Linkage: http://youtube.com/watch?v=pmRY2s25PvQ

(^ The "Smexy Sokka" clip starts at 2:00. How manly is Sokka that he set up his tent with a sword;D)

Someday I'm making myself one of those big thick fuzzy Northern Water Tribe coats. I want one so bad...

Gads, I can't wait until next Monday! I'mma bake a cake and put the symbols of the four nations on it! It's so cool that Jun's back, though.

That comic makes my heart lul  :D I'm sure Suki's intently observing for research...

A fuzzy water tribe coat would be awesome! But I think I'd enjoy the air nomad's flamboyantly obtrusive orange robes and whatnot.

Cake sounds really yummy. I mean copy right infringe you and bake an avatard cake too. I think I'd doodle a chibi Aang face on it :)

Jun... eh... she's alright but I didn't really like her when I first saw her. What we need is more hippies like Chong! And of course more smexy Sokka! ;)

As long as they don't bring back Jin, I'm good.

And I mean, Jun is pretty cool in her own right. She's got a giant mole-badger-anteater-thing that she rides, after all.

What I really want is a set of Dai Lee robes. Those are awesome beyond all doubt. And, you know, a big fluffy Water Tribe jacket. That would be cool.

Avatar fan over here and I'm a big-time shipper to boot (can't help it).
But don't worry.  I'm not one of those fans that will bite your head off if you disagree with me.... well, maybe if you're a Tokka fan.  (I'm a Taang fan)

I've been looking forward to the finale for a long time.  I still wondering why they waited to show the finale months after the last aired episode.

I loved Jin! She was so mello, and she just went with the flow and played along with Zuko's crazy fool child self!  Maiko? Pfft, Zujin is where it's at. I think we can all agree that between "u"s and "i"s, "i" is superior  ;D

Personally I think it would be fantasmical if the airbending staffs existed in real life. But I guess I could just grab a normal staff, go the way of Aang, and just bend air into it  :) That would be...succesful.

Le Edit~ Taang... I'm not sure if I should go there  ;D

I think the reason they waited so long is because they weren't exactly finishe with the episodes. Either that or Nick doesn't know how to handle quality shows  :-\

Taang, Sukka and Zutara FTW! : D I'm such a pairing tard when it comes down to it.

Anybody ever read rufftoon's 'Water Tribe' fancomic on Deviantart? I'm not much of a Zhao fangirl, but it's still all kinds of funny.

My Appa is the one on the left, surprisingly my other dog acts a lot like momo.

It's hardly a spoiler, they said it halfway through the second season. Around the same time they unveiled the first Avatar Season 3 DVD cover, actually.

I heard they already had the episodes finished.  One person on an avatar forum I go to said they know someone who works for nickelodeon and he knew the ending back in January.

Huge marathon starts the 14th (next Monday), and goes to the 18th (next Friday). They're showing one new episode each night, with a series finale of chapters 18-21 in one big movie event Friday night.

Yeah, that made no sense to me whatsoever.  They released it on DVD... THEN they air it?
The only reason I can think of for that is they thought some people would be so desperate that they would buy the DVD just so they could find out what happens next.

They did it because the dvd was released by the canadian company that owns avatar. Nickelodeon gets it from them. Its nickelodeon that is dragging it out so long. The canadian company didnt want to wait for nick so they released it on dvd.

Technically, new ones start Wednesday. But they're still playing The Boiling Rock 1/2 on Monday and Tuesday. Since they've been out on DVD, and on the internet, and on tv in Canada... They're not actually new.

Me too, it's much more satisfying watching Avatar on the telly, than it is when it's all blurry and pixelated on the computer. And I could watch Zuko's spiel a million times and still laugh during each viewing ;)

Btw guys, if anyone has read the Avatar "Sozin's Comet" finale spoiler book thingy, could we please not speak of the spoilers within it? I've been really wary of my Avatar scrounging on the internets because I don't want my epic finale viewing to be epicly ruined by some childlishly written bull crap.  :D

Okay, I caved and watched WAT last night out in our disgustingly icky living room ;D And oh my friggin gosh, even though I've already watched it a billion times it was still quite amazing. I reccomend everyone watch FBM tonight; it shall be epic.

I'm really pumped up for Saturday, I'm having an Avatar finale party sleepover with all my avatarded friends. I'm SO pumped up!

Btw, anyone else see the Avatar commercials on Nick? If you haven't, then watch Avatar tonight! They're really amazing and contain scenes from the finale. And they even say the word "die" instead of "end"! Man I love Avatar  8)

I watched FBM, and it was so epic! I love the *slightish spoiler* beautiful flames. It's also quite enjoyable to see Zuko and Aang's "friendship" blossom ;D Actual new episodes are only two days away! Southern Raiders... here we come!
