Recap: Oh, merciful God, I'm not even going to try.
My rating: 7.5/10
These episodes were brilliant, flawed, and brilliantly flawed in so many ways one after another that it's a wonder my head didn't just explode. Epic and thrilling to any Avatar fan, and yet failing to excel with some if its plot twists... I felt like so much needn't have happened and that so much more could've happened...
Azula had it all perfectly planned out, basically winning the entire battle in one fell swoop. Ozai played it smart, Zuko had (yet another) character turn, we didn't get to see Iroh's break out, all the old characters we know and love are pretty much screwed (do you REALLY think they would recieve mercy if it were an actual situation?). The whole Gaang made many fatal errors....
Automatically assuming that there would be nothing to finding Ozai...
Aang and co not killing (or at least tying up) and actually believing the man that supposedly led them to the Fire Lord... How stupid can ya' get, Aang? He tricked you. He could've not tricked you and then ran off (unprevented) and pre-warned Ozai of your coming.
None of the main characters seem to display any of the super-strong bending they had in previous episodes, and yet still met really no resistance until after the main section of the fight. Funny, how the bombs and big guns were really only brought out or given effect when the twisty storyline needed it. Aang, the super-powerful-when-he-needed-to-be-in-older-episodes Avatar, seemed suddenly wimpy against a defenseless albeit suddenly and miraculously fast Azula. I know Airbending really has no "big" attacks, but come on! Aang, Toph, you did NOTHING! As usual, the writers have yet again twisted premises from previous episodes to fit their "new and improved" storyline.....
Most of the humour was unoriginal and not really funny, especially that of the "old faces"... Kataang kiss happened too quick after the just-previous faked scene (I know, odd hearing that from me, eh? ;D ) And worse, she didn't even really react...
Could've been so much more... and yet was perfect at the same time... *headdesk*
