Another new episode last night.
As interesting as the whole "corrupt regime" angle for Team Avatar was, the fight between Jet and Zuko was a lot more enjoyable. And undoubtedly proves that even without his firebending Zuko is one tough customer.
Considering we're coming into the last stretch of Season 2, I'm thinking the corrupt regime bit is going to play a major role in the season finale, and possibly pave the way for Zuko to join Team Avatar as Aang's firebending teacher; not sure about Iroh given that his original VA, Mako, passed away some months ago.

Dog,
Other than the fight between Jet and Zuko, trust me you didn't miss that much. That being said I am pleased by the return of a great villian VA in Clancy Brown. His Gorath and Lex Luthor were among the best villians I can recall in some time. This new one reminds me of Lex's subtle moves with Gorath's "cultural purity". I am looking forward seeing the next new one. And yeah we are into the home stretch. It is sad that Mako isn't among us any more...but maybe Jeong will instruct both Zuko and Aang instead of Zuko. (Zuko's fire bending skills aren't exactly stellar. But his fighting skills are truly impressive.)

Considering that he's been able to hold his own against at least two other masters (beating Admiral Zhao twice and doing pretty well against Azula, who is considered a prodigy), I'd say you're selling Zuko short; he's come a long way through struggle and determination. Besides, long before Katara was officially trained in waterbending she managed to teach Aang a fair amount, so it's quite possible that Zuko could do a decent job of teaching Aang, if it came down to it.Nightfall said:
Jeong was good for a single episode character, but I don't think he'd cut it as a series regular.

Picked up the box set this weekend and re-watched the first episode last night. Zuko is shown going through his exercises and getting lectured by Iroh on technique. It will be interesting to see how his current predicament will end.
Here's my bet on the season ending cliffhanger - Iroh becomes Aang's teacher for a short while and then dies or is killed defending the group. Circumstances are unclear to everyone about this and Zuko renews his promise to take the Avatar down as revenge for his uncle's death.
For those of you who picked up the box set, I noticed that the DVD video quality on the first episode wasn't as great as when I watch the show via DBS. Anyone else notice this? I'm hoping it's just the first episode, or the first DVD perhaps. Let me know your experience with it.
Thanks.

Bento,
Nice theory but I think you're missing a good bit of what's already occured in Book Two. For one thing, even if Zuko does as you suggest, it won't help him that much. But your other theory certainly has merit.
Eh maybe Don, but until I see it, I'm not sure I'll believe it.

"Tales of Ba Sing Se"
A series of vignittes for each of the characters.
Including a very touching dedication to Mako at the end of Iroh's vignette.
I think I heard Zuko fangirls around the world cry at the end of his vignette. Smooth operator the boy ain't, but you've got to give him credit for trying, especially towards the end. I guess he's just too emotionally screwed-up right now.
Aang has certainly come a long way in terms of Earthbending.
And it would certainly appear that Sokka is definitely channeling essence of Kirk when it comes to the ladies after his impromptu performance at a haiku theater
Next episode deals with where Appa has been these past few episodes.

Don,
I must have missed the preview for the next ep. It was confirmed we'll get a new ep next friday? Cool!
*also loved the dedication to Mako in the Iroh vignette* That totally rocked.
He was channelling Kirk? I thought he was channelling Marshall "Eminem" Mathers's Eight mile there...
