Dylan here reporting that Nick has pulled "The Thriller Plan" as predicted by DF member Nico. Nick magazine (top right) says 312, "The Western Air Temple" is confirmed to air Monday July 14th, and "a special 2 hour episode" we can only assume to be the finale will air Saturday July 19th. Here is what we can assume the schedule to be: Monday July 14th: 312 - "The Western Air Temple" Tuesday July 15th: 313 - "The Firebending Masters" Wednesday July 16th: 314 and 315: "The Boiling Rock, Part 1" and "The Boiling Rock, Part 2" Thursday July 17th: 316 - "The Southern Raiders" Friday July 18th: 317 - "The Ember Island Players"
Saturday July 19th: 318-321 - Unconfirmed Series Finale Titles (We will not be releasing them)
All Episodes will air at 8:00 PM.
So, there you go. The epic conclusion to our favorite TV Show ever crammed into a week. I've probably been the most supportive person in the fandom of Nick, but all I have to say is, shame on you Nick. Avatar deserves better than this on it's last episodes. I didn't know you had lost faith in the show. Thanks so much to earth_lizard from the ASN Forums for the scan!
Note: At the bottom it says that the dates are subject to change. -Edit- Turbo Nick confirms the July 14th premier date for 312 as well as the finale airing on July 19th. It also reveals the times for all the episodes, 8:00 PM. Thanks to Toph982 for the link!
Jake here, and I want to comment on Dylan's above post. If you've followed Nick in the past couple of years the "final episodes in one week" thing is nothing new, it is essentially Nick's sending off of the show, the last harrah. Avatar won't be back on TV with new episodes again, or at least not for a very long time (should they decide to go ahead with those specials) so what good does it do Nick to break the final 10 episodes of Avatar up when half of them have already been seen by a good deal of the fandom? It'll be better for ratings, and a nice send off, for them to do it this way. So it will all be over in a week, that's unfortunate. But this isn't Nick really losing any faith in the show IMO, it's traditional Nick sending off a show which will no longer have any new episodes. You can't "lose faith" in something that doesn't really exist anymore. Nick is done with Avatar (almost) and it's on to Paramount to milk the Avatar movies for all they are worth.
