Dylan along with Jake, Alisa, Josh, and Michelle first discuss the recent early release of the Sozin's Comet book in the news segment and then go way in-depth into "The Western Air Temple."...see more
Dylan here reporting that in the latest issue of Entertainment Weekly, Kate Ward reviewed "Sozin's Comet" giving it the grade of a B with a generally positive review. A criticism she gives is that the plot isn't heavy enough for 2 hours, but she praises the animation. Click here to see the review. Scan by me.
Jake here, and I wanted to make this point again - the finale was written for 90 minutes, not 2 hours. The creators did decide to make the animation double for episode 320, giving us 321. So that could go to explain the critic's point of the plot not being "heavy enough" for 2 hours. This could have been a Nick decision or a decision by the creators, we just don't know, but the good thing is the animation will be amazing.
From the edit of this post, we have 6 days, 7 hours and 55 minutes until the finale airs on the East Coast!
Click the link above, and click on the bubble that says "Top Rated" and it is the first video that will play.
Thanks to RayRay for the heads up!
Also - with only one week until the big epik amazingly awesomeful terrific super-duper suspenseful finale, I'm linking to a finale trailer which is up there with the finale in terms of epicness. It's a series finale trailer by the fandom's own Ravenhpltc24. Check it out!
Also, as a side note, I'm looking into organizing a fandom-wide finale chat on the Avatar Olympics site on the night of the finale. If you have a good chat script to recommend, email me at
I'm also considering using just an IRC client, so if you have knowledge of that please let me know as well! And we will be in need of mods for the night (we want to control the spoilers in the live chat) so also send me an email if that's something you would like to do! Thanks!
Dylan here and Nick has come out with a second advertising flyer for Avatar. It can be seen here. Important things to note are a confirmation of something Avatar at SDCC, another mention of the global Avatar game coming out in the Fall, and a "series of mini-episodes on-air and online." So there may be new less than 30 minute episodes in the works slated to come out Spring of 2009. Thanks to Avatar_Mom for finding this!
