(Also don't worry the glare on my screen isn't bad, it just happens when i get close at the angle when I record with my phone).

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.

Bato of the Water Tribe: Love that it understands you can have your characters make bad choices, you just have to properly motivate them. I love how the lessons are starting to stack and help the characters evolve too. Really good Sokka episode.

I kinda have issues with this ep. Aang acts really controlling in a way that's OoC, and the ep doesn't do much to address it I feel? Everything with Sokka, Zuko, and Iroh is great. Plus the end fight.

I don't think it's OoC at all though. People/friendship is everything to him and also he's so so so young. And they really do build up how he hates the lonely feeling and it motivates that choice completely, and it is def in character with how quickly he comes clean.

I guess I'm bothered by how this ep ignores the side of Aang that's really welcoming of diversions and happy for his friends. Maybe if this had been a 2-parter and they had more time to realize Aang's sense of isolation, it would feel less jarring to me.

But this isn't a diversion along the way, this is them leaving him, plus he now has all the urgency time after the solstice.

I really regret using the term "OoC" because now I realize that it's a critcism that's rarely accurate (like Mary Sue). Aang wasn't OoC in this ep. What really bothers me is how this show usually sends it characters through the ringer when they make mistakes like Aang did here..

...and this ep was one of the few cases where that wasn't so. I realize that this might be a personal preference, and it really only started to bother me when I looked back at this ep in comparison to the rest of the series.
