Huh...well, it still won't feel as long as the last one as we'll have more things to talk about and things to do.

I rather like the ponyless summers (as long as they don't go too long) because that's often when fan creativity hits its stride. While the season's going on, we're basically in receiving mode; but when the off-season hits and we all start digesting, so to speak, that's when a lot of the really good creativity and conversation start manifesting themselves.

I enjoy it because it allows us to reflect on the previous season and its episodes in a more relaxed way. Having one right after the other can make it somewhat difficult to have a full opinion.

Maybe I'll find some other show to watch over the summer. Like, by now I've heard tons of good things about Avatar: The Last Airbender, and that show finished up years ago so I could just blow through the entire series. Our dear leader sure seemed to love it, at least...

I still have some university work over the summer, including a week field trip to Santiago in July, so I should be pretty well occupied during the summer.

I always go to Maine in the summer, there's a Hot Topic in the mall where we go so hopefully some more pony goodies for me. :-I

If you like badass girls, elemental powers that make Jedi look weak, wise writing and a series-wide myth arc, watch it. For me, and for yourself.

It has its occasional lapses, like some climactic dialogue in overly simplified language, but it's awesome all the way through. And it's funny as well.

Toph is best character

I haven't seen Avatar: The Last Airbender in years... I followed it up till about Book 2 and then lost it. :fluttersmith: It was a good show though...

WITH LIMITED KNOWLEDGE:
The Uncle is the best character.

That sounds entirely reasonable, and I'm expecting October too. I'm sure we'll have a much clearer answer at SDCC when it'll start, depending on what they say there.

Boy that's sure a way to misspell Toph. However uncle is pretty radical, no doubt.

To be honest, all of the main characters and some of the side ones are so awesome I can't really pick a favorite.

There's only one character who can't clearly see why uncle is the best character. :gotcha:

What if they took uncle and Toph and combined them into a single being? Could the universe handle it?

The one thing holding back Avatar is the anti-violence restrictions. Not like it needed to be a splatterfest or anything, but too many instances the writers/animators had to show fighting & defeating without killing, even if it made no practical sense in context.

But that's literally the only downside of the show.
