      Episode 3: I tend to hate "refusal of the call" storylines because the writers oft make them so over-simplified and a-psychological. But this episode understands the complexities completely. For it's not that Aang simply "doesn't want to" or is "scared," but instead

      4 episodes done! The first two combine for a perfect pilot in setting up the characters, work, stakes, and mission. But there's the old saying with ensuing eps "now show me how you're a show." And already it understands how to execute episodic storytelling within a serialized arc

          1. That was a remarkable episode of TV 2. There's a lot of you who really need to cut it out with the spoilers or even vague allusions. I've never had a thread be filled with so much "wait til that character does x in y" and even worse. Seriously, what gives?

          Earnest inquiry: do UK people just snicker when they watch the show and mentions bender / bending? Also I have no idea what the state of that term is these days or if it's a slur, so please consider this a serious question.

          Episode 7: So far Uncle is an amazing character, but it's not just because he's funny and lazy, it's because there's all these wonderful little bits of understanding his psychology and thought process sprinkled throughout it, all hinting at deeper wounds and history. I love it.

          Disc 1 complete! Necessary stake setting, but Solstice eps proving my ongoing belief that lore-and fate-heavy story focus makes for the most dramatically inert version of storytelling.

          Episode 9: the pirates are all fun as hell, but I feel like the messaging was a little off and weird? I mean understanding the false heart of jealousy is very important and all, but getting into the notion of "talent" is tricky because I really don't believe in it so much.

          The thing I like about Aang so far is the same thing I like about Peter Parker. Yeah, he's gotta do hero stuff. Yeah it takes noble sacrifice. But he's not going to put away his desire for a normal life and having fun to do so. He's always fighting for that part of his life.pic.twitter.com/pxfUDWkjbI

          The Great Divide: the problem with anytime you're doing a "waring peoples trapped in endless cycle of violence" is that it A) inherently becomes a metaphor for real life examples where B) the solutions of "you're both being idiots!" simply can't be dragged out of entrenched cost

          and this matters because often C) it is a solution that is never afforded or understood to the main thrust of the other war plotlines in these same shows. The fire and earth kingdoms aren't going to be hit with a "you're both being idiots!" solution, cause that's not what it is.

          Anyway, that's the reason those episodes tend to suck in tv shows. It's false, reductive, and oft patronizing moralization for something that usually driven by more complex human behavior (that these same shows are often down to explore in other ways).

          The Storm: "things will never return to normal." Oof. Aang and Zuko's mutual backstory episode is so beautifully done. You have the inkling as to these events, but when the details are made clear it is far more haunting and empathy-invoking than you can imagine.

          For all the imagery and allusions to storms / cycles / repetitions, really it's about quelling the storms that rage within, letting ourselves evolve from the moments where we once froze, to moments we can now glide on air... All with killer funny lines and delivery along the way.

          The Blue Spirit: Holy Crud. Just impeccable, loaded with meaning, and all the little internal movements that character development that feel like legions of change before characters are ever ready to admit it. Just beautiful.

          The other thing I can't get over is how much this show taps into all the motifs and influences I loved as a kid (elemental magic a la final fantasy, kingdom maps, geography, culture creation, etc) but it never feels like those things are the point. It's drama over lore. I love it

          So many shows do the "Friendzone: Let's Back Up This Notion!" and the "The Fortuneteller" thankfully doesn't but there are so many little moments that come close and it's always like this big dramatic meta-game I have watching this stuff.
