Alright, so in this episode we meet an old Water Tribe friend named Bato, Sokka recount's his last moments with his father, and Zuko tracks Aang with the scent of a necklace and with the help of a punk bounty hunter, souns exciting right? Well, you would think so. This episode did not have the stuff I hoping for, but was still just fine. How about I break down what was good and what was strange:
Great things
- Sokka, he was a good asset to this episode and the voice acting by Jack DeSena was great.
-Sokka's flashback to his childhood was really sweet and a little touching
-Iroh having feelings for Jun was really funny
-Zuko and the gang passing all of the places Aang was travelling was cool
-the end battle was one of the best of season 1

Not so cool things
-All of the cheesy revelations like being seperated from the pack made me gag
-The Animation, it didn't flow smoothly
-This is something that kind of bothers me but probably not anyone else, how people on the show seem to know everything in one second, like Sokka all the sudden knew what happened by just a couple scortch marks and the nun was explaining everything to Aang about people came and attacked the abbey she said " The person was using the scent of a necklace to follow you", who cares as long as Zuko is there I'm coming, then I'll get the necklace when it drops out of his pocket!

So I give you the episode that neither rocks nor sucks.

I've watched this show over and over and it always blows me away. I have to borrow the DVD from many people though because the DVD is very expensive. The first episode was pretty funny and all the others were filled with action and drama. It even made me cry and I'm not really a crying kind of guy. This show is pretty amazing and I encourage all of those WWII buffs to watch this. I also love how they interview those real paratroopers, it makes you hate all those hippies who complain all the time that people are dying when it's for a good pourpose people! I really love this show.

My favorite show ever. Probably the best ever(my opinion). Creates watercooler gossip every episode and nothing can compete with it. It has the best writing I've ever seen and every time it arouses a question it answers it with very scientific and smart answers. WATCH IT! You need to see it and experiance it's beauty. Better every season. Now I don't want to repeat myself but I just can't explain its intricancy.

Every episode gets better and better. With incredible writing, animation and directing I can't stop watching. It has everything a good show needs, it's funny, dramatic, and sometimes... you want to throw away your TV because a character acts stupid. Say Zuko going w/ Azula?! Watch it if you have taste in television.
