In other news:
• 101 "The Boy in the Iceberg"
While fishing, Sokka and Katara discover Aang and his flying bison Appa icebound floating on the sea. After freeing him, they discover that Aang is an Airbender from the Air Nomads, a race of people assumed to have died out a hundred years before. Later, he reluctantly reveals that he is also the Avatar, the only person with the power to manipulate all four elements. The Avatar is reincarnated generation after generation and would be the only one who could prevent the Fire Nation from conquering all the nations, which is why the Fire Nation exterminated the Air Nomads. Meanwhile, Zuko, the banished Prince of the Fire Nation, is patrolling the seas in search of the Avatar. While exploring an abandoned Fire Nation ship, Katara tells Aang about the war that had been going on for the past hundred years. They accidentally set off a light beam in the ship, which alerts Zuko to the village.
• 102 "The Avatar Returns"
When Zuko locates the Southern Water Tribe village where Aang has been, he demands the Avatar be surrendered to him. Aang returns into the village, despite having been banished, to surrender himself to Zuko as long as he agrees to leave the village alone. Aboard Zuko's ship, Aang is at Zuko's mercy, but he eventually manages to maneuver away from the guards and to battle Zuko. Katara and Sokka take the flying bison Appa to go after Aang. Aang and his friends manage to defeat Zuko and his subordinates. Katara and Sokka decide to travel with Aang to the North Pole so that Aang can learn Waterbending from members of the Northern Water Tribe.
• 103 "The Southern Air Temple"
Due to an interest in reliving his old memories, Aang suggests a visit to the Southern Air Temple. He tells stories of his old mentor, Monk Gyatso, as well as sports and games that Airbenders used to play. At the temple, Aang finds a flying lemur, whom he names Momo. Upon arrival, it becomes clear to Sokka and Katara that the Fire Nation have slaughtered the inhabitants, but they keep Aang in the dark to spare his feelings. When Aang discovers the truth for himself, he becomes angry and enters the Avatar State. Luckily, Katara and Sokka calm him down and he is forced to accept that he is the last Airbender. Meanwhile, because his ship was damaged by Aang in the previous episode, Zuko needs to stop at a docking area to have it repaired. There, he and his uncle run into Commander Zhao, who manages to learn that the Avatar has been found. Zuko challenges Zhao to a duel (known as an agni-kai) over the right to track the Avatar, which Zuko wins. Zuko spares Zhao's life; Zhao in turn tries to kill Zuko after Zuko turns his back on Zhao, though Iroh stops the attack in time.
I was really surprised by how good this was. I think I always steered clear a bit from the series because I didn't like the protaganist's appearance and all the media where he looks SUPER SERIOUS and all, but the series is really, really engrossing, and Aang, Katara and Sokka are all really really great characters. The animation was way, waaay better then I expected it to be, and the main villain, Zuko, seems interesting too, but he's not really grabbed me yet (I'm trying to think what other characters the VA's done, lol). Comedy was fantastic and the action scenes were very, very well done. My favourite character so far is probably Sokka, I have a soft spot for the powerless underdog type characters, and he reminds me of Xander. XD
Can't wait to watch the next three episodes ;A; Only problem is that the dvd has terrible image quality with some bad interlacing effects that are only really avoidable when the screen is shrunk down really small on a computer. On tv, it looks unwatchable, which is lame. D: Hopefully it doesn't affect all the dvds!
And lastly have another song!
