The "startle" is that Zuko is related to both Sozin AND Roku.

Another I suppose is that Roku and Sozin were friends in their youth, only after Sozin shares his ambition of world domination does the friendship end.

And finally, the reason Roku died is because Sozin betrayed him. I'll leave those details for you to see for yourself, although I wouldn't get too excited, it's not that great of an episode.

yah i just saw the trailer i actually think it gives you a lot info on that too. How roku is trying to tell Aang how the war happened and stuff...yah thats pretty awesome

A second trailer on youtube has been aired! Not much more has been revealed except that roku comes to aang in a dream. Also someone leaves Zuko a note as well talking about understanding his destiny. I Hope it was Iroh Leaving the note. Again here's to Iroh Kicking butt. ooooh Yeah

yah i hope ihro's voice is similar to the old one

Though I don't like Iroh being muscled (?!) like that, I prefer him being a big cuddly bear!! lol. I hope Iroh gets some good fighting time! And ofcourse I want him to SPEAK....though it wont be Mako....sigh.

lol these are all good idea's i hope everything that everyone has said so far is on this friday's show. Like i hate waiting for the new episodes to air. i just want to see them all. but the idea of Sozin and Roku really sounds good. i wonder what did happen but im sure nothing since everything went down hill from there like roku did not stop him since there is a war now and thats why everything is on Aang's shoulders but that boy can handle anything coming his way. Thats why we all love him :]

Wouldn't it be lovely? It's like a lovely Chiasm (mwuaahah); the generation where it all went wrong; Roku and Sozen being childhood friends knowing each other well, but growing apart, turning out enemies, world balance with four elements and nations disturbed. Aang and Zuko being 'childhood enemies' from a distance or something (at least zuko), growing towards each other, turning out friends, world saved by restored to it's balance of the four nations and elements. See it? It's so symbolical and adds to the idea of karma resolving problems throughout incarnations and generations or stuff like that...reformulate please if you know more about this 'way of thinking', I'm not good at it lol.

From the clip that i saw so far. It seems that Avatar Roku and firelord Sozin were childhood friends. Sozin had an idea to turn the world into one giant nation by force. Roku disagreed in time had to warn the firelord. He only let sozin live because of their friendship. The question is after Roku's warning what happened. I guess we'll find out more about the comet in this episode. Here's to uncle Iroh Kicking butt.

i love in the preview how roku just closed his eyes and went into the avatar state and aang has to almost die.
Posted 10/22/2007 4:14pm
haha i so agree on the suki point. wow i cant believe i even forgot about them lol well i hope they are ok and i really want to see whats the deal with iroh and who's butt he is going to beat and better yet whats gonna happen between him and zuko....wow im too excited!!
Posted 10/22/2007 3:24pm
btw. I DON'T want suki to be dead! WAAAH! I hope she and the other Kyoshi warriors who got attacked maybe somehow are sitting in the same jail as Iroh. Theory could be maybe the White Lotus Clan (if there's going to be one) is going to help free Iroh, and maybe if there has been contact with Sokka (he has a White lotus coin) and the Gaang, they might help the kyoshis out.....I hope lol. I REALLY don't want Suki to be dead, I mean; Sokka would go crazy if he has two dead lovers, maybe...

I think this episode is for the purpose of explaining more of the firenation's past; how things got outta hand this much. Roku you tha man! lol
Posted 10/22/2007 1:35pm
ok i found the preview and it is amazing i had forgotten it was a preview and got all into it but now because of that im even more excited than ever befor this is going to be one sweet (must not miss!) episode!
Posted 10/21/2007 5:16pm
yah im looking for a preview too..cant find one tho. uhhh im really excited! i really want to see this episode i have a feeling that something huge is or might happen
Posted 10/21/2007 4:35pm
Where can i find the preview? I really can't wait
Posted 10/20/2007 2:38pm
Sounds like a very good episode.. Exciting!!!!!
Posted 10/11/2007 3:17pm
Well i think the Episode will be about why Roku couldnt stop the war. Alot will be unreveled. I think that Solzan was the son or related to Avatar Roku and Roku couldnt find it in his heart to destroy him. just a theory
Posted 10/09/2007 6:09am
I think that the firelord is going to find out about Anag and get mad at Zuko. The guy that auko hired to kill Anag is going to meet him a town close to the FIrenation place and the guy is going to attack anag and anag will accidentally use air and then everyone will see thats the avatar and since he does not need the headband he will take it off and beat up the guy. The word of the avatar will reach the firelord and he will find out. JUst a quess.
Posted 10/08/2007 11:49am
Aang is gonna get mad at some point..like avatar state mad...Maybe they'll use Sokka "secret river" that doesn't exist to see the fire lord.
Posted 10/07/2007 4:04pm
this looks good, from the preview ive seen. its about roku and sozin having a little fight over the war.
Posted 10/01/2007 6:48am
Pooldude, you announced the title of this episode on DongBuFeng, so you might as well change it here too. Remember? "The Avatar and the Fire Lord"?
Posted 09/24/2007 5:30pm
this titles supposed to startle the fandom so maybe this is a relationship epi or an epi were someone dies or one of someone found dead like suki dead
