Thanks to
lizbee, I have been watching the first season of Avatar: The Last Airbender. I've just finished watching episode 13, "The Blue Spirit". Now, before this episode, I would have said that I liked ATLA, but I didn't love it. There have been episodes like "Jet" and "Imprisoned" that did
not go down the usual cliched route, but actually touched on difficult issues raised by war. That was good, that was impressive; it means that the series is not as shallow as one would expect from a kids' cartoon. Good.
I also have to say that Uncle Iroh is made of awesome. But even Uncle Iroh wasn't enough to make me fall in love with this show.
However... we come to The Blue Spirit.
