A topic for the discussion of Doctor Who, Arrow, and The Flash. Beware possible invasions of iZombie, Sleepy Hollow, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi, superhero, or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect adult content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.

Thoughts so far: Katara is totally awesome. Toph? Also awesome like an awesome thing that inspires awe. I love the fact that Sokka isn't just a fall guy, or comic relief - that they've let him grow and develop and mature just as the others have, and that he does get to have moments when he's all heroic, take charge and idea-having. He isn't the Zeppo. This is nice.
This is all true!
I continue to adore Zuko and Uncle Iroh, and am also thoroughly enjoying Azula, May and Ti-Lee (because this is what you'd get if Daria was an evil princess).
Mai and Ty Lee, FYI. Dangerous Ladies FTW!
And I have to say - I was UTTERLY SLAIN when Aang's Fire Master Teacher made his 'Hi, I'll be your fire teacher?' speech.
The practice scene was hysterical. So brilliant. Oh my God. I smile just thinking about it.
le nubian - I think I'm around episode 16? Going to catch a few more eps tonight - quite likely finish of the disk.

Yes! And, my God,
he had more lines in that episode than in THE ENTIRE 3 SEASONS PRECEDING, I swear!
It was terribly disarming. Although I was rather choked by the way that he kept
trying to think what Uncle Iroh would have said to help him in various situations.
And indeed by the whole business of
making and serving tea for the gang. Gah.
It slays me.
I really want to know what happened to
Zuko's mother.
For a while I was even speculating wildly that she was the same person as
Katara's mother,
before realising that this definitely couldn't work. And I want to know where
Uncle
is! For he is awesome like a thing that is awesome! And Zuko misses him! And, God, I really don't want him (or
Zuko) to have to take one for the team!
some hours later
OMG! Yay for
Zuko's reunion with his Uncle! And for Team Geezer! And for the all the midair highjinx in airships!
I particularly loved the way that
Sokka
got to be all heroic, and
Suki
really is the best
girlfriend
EVAH! And it's so nice that
Sokka
has an awesome girlfriend! And that we have the whole
Zuko V Azula thing, with Azula being the badass enemy
and - really, you've got to give this show mad props for its take on gender roles. Oh, and another YAY for
Zuko and Mai getting back together!
They're so damn adorable!
And, OMG, how could I have forgotten that crazy episode with the
amateur dramatics! And fandom! !!!111!!!!
And the whole
Deathstar Canteen moment aboard the fireship, with the supposed birthday!
I almost peed myself laughing!
Also, genuinely hadn't seen Aang's sneaky choice to
turn Darth Firelord into Hostile Seventeen
coming.
Nice move, little bald dude! (And how thoroughly badass was
AvatarState!Aaang, with the whizzy hamsterball of elemental power?
Pretty thoroughly gosh-darned badass!
In conclusion:
Avatar
is for the win.
(And I still heart Toph!)
Was that Flight of the Conchords playing on Chuck?
OK, Fay's ahead of me on
Avatar
because we've had to really ratchet back on watching. So I just skipped your posts, Fay.
We just finished the ep with Roku explaining what happened to him.
Here's why we've slowed our rate of consumption (other than not wanting the series to end):
1. We sent Mal to time out a couple weeks ago. When I went to release him, he turned his face away and said "I'm banished. Like Zuko. I need a reclaim my honor, but now I'm banished."
2. A couple nights ago Mal was really upset about something. I asked him what, and he said, "I need to find my destiny."
"Uh...okay."
"But I need it!"
"Sweetie, your destiny is something you have to find for yourself."
"But I want my destiny! Aang has a destiny, and Zuko has a destiny, and I have to have a destiny."
(pause) "You're going to have to wait until you are a teenager like Aang and Zuko to get a destiny."
(hands me his foam sword) "Take this to my quarters."
Summer Glau knocked it out of the fucking park tonight.
Raq, I've never seen Avatar, so I have no idea who any of these characters you're talking about are, but I am filled with mad love for your Mal.
Summer Glau knocked it out of the fucking park tonight.
Yeah, she was awesome. I'm also wondering what the deal is with Shirley's "daughter". Mini-me T-1000, the original's real daughter or ?
Crap, missed the first five minutes of SCC. We've come in right when the pregnant woman is in the hospital, talking to the doctor. Did we miss anything important?
