Okay, I’ve seen some people complaining about the lion-turtle at the end of episode 319 (that’d be The Old Masters), saying that it was a deus ex machina plot point. That the whole concept of the lion-turtle was included just so Aang wouldn’t have to finish the job, that is, kill Ozai.

Well ladies and germs, last Saturday yielded what could probably be the most amazing episodes from Avatar: the Last Airbender.

The best thing about it is that we were all treated to two hours’ worth of glorious AtlA goodness. From the build-up in The Phoenix King to the final climax at the very end (with the countryside-spanning battle between Aang and Ozai OMG), everything was pretty much perfection. The creators really outdid themselves with this final season.

If you missed it, and you consider yourself an Avatard, then you just missed the entire point of your fanaticism. Wait for the next showing, or buy the DVD when it comes out. It really doesn’t get any better than this.

So now that AtlA is over, what else do we have to look forward to? Well, here are a couple of things:

1. The Last Airbender - the feature films by M. Knight Shyamalan are pretty much still in the oven, baking. There’s always the question of whether the films will turn out good, but it’s something to look forward to at least.
2. The creators plan on coming up with something new in the Avatar universe. A new series, perhaps?

One thing’s for sure, though: this is the last we’ll ever see of Aang and company.

This commercial aired after “The Western Air Temple” came out in the US:

Do I really need to say anything else?

In just a few hours, ladies and gentlemen, we will be witnessing the rebirth - well, it’ll pretty much be the end of the series, but it works either way - of the final leg of Avatar: The Last Airbender. Technically speaking, most of the net-oriented avatards would have seen the first few episodes that will be airing in the US by July 14 (that would be the episodes "The Western Air Temple" thru "The Boiling Rock II"), but hey, the show could use the added ratings, so check em out as they air, folks!

The real action begins on Thursday, when "The Southern Raiders" finally airs to the public, and the last remaining uncharted territory of Avatar Aang’s journey to avatarhood is breached. To get all of you pumped up for the finale, though, here’s a nice little fan video made by one of the regulars of DongBu Feng:

Forgive the double metaphors. But really.

It’s less than two weeks to go before our favorite series finally comes full circle. Let the commercial from Nickelodeon do the talking for me:

Isn’t this exciting or what? XD
