Not that the five shows included on this disc lack seriousness: the long-running series now finds young Aang (the once and future avatar destined to reunite the world's four estranged nations) and his traveling companions behind enemy lines in the Fire Nation, disguised as colonists. In "Awakening," Aang arises--with a surprising headful of dark hair--from several weeks of unconsciousness (due to the injuries he sustained during a battle for Ba Sing Se) aboard a captured Fire Nation warship. Though he finds old friends Sokka, Toph, and Katara nearby, all urging him not to take matters in his own hands, Aang ultimately feels compelled to go head-to-head with the Fire Lord before he is ready. The result forces Aang and the others to remain incognito, setting up subsequent episodes in which the heroes are forced to lay low and find something else to do with their time besides fight adversaries. In "The Headband," Aang enrolls in a Fire Nation school, where his eyes are opened to such ordinary experiences as dealing with a campus bully and getting a hard time from strict teachers. In "The Painted Lady," Aang, Sokka, Katara, and Toph visit an impoverished fishing village and have to repress their typical instinct to help lest they be recognized as outsiders. (An alternative is found.) "Sokka's Master," in some ways the most enjoyable episode here, finds Sokka feeling useless because he doesn't possess powers similar to his mates. His solution: talk a master swordsman into taking him on as an apprentice. Finally, the most unexpected story in this collection is "The Beach," in which Prince Zuko, Azula, Mai, and Ty Lee--all of whom are back in the Fire Nation, too--take an awkward holiday but end up learning a lot about one another. Meanwhile, Zuko--following his extended banishment from the Fire Nation--discovers that his father welcoming again, but only because his manipulative sister, Princess Azula, has falsely told everyone that Zuko killed Aang. Fearing that his father will disown him again, Zuko chooses not to tell the truth and works on having Aang quietly assassinated. Where Zuko had been more of a complete human being during his exile, he's back to being a monster again, going so far as to keep his dutiful uncle, Iroh, in a dark, dank prison. --Tom Keogh Average Rating:
 Rating:  - 3rd Season is amazing - can't wait for next DVDI'm a 42-year-old mother of a 7 1/2-year-old and I love this series in my own right. I have every next DVD pre-ordered. The story line is psychologically intricate and interesting. The martial arts are well done - particularly with the isolation of one particular type of move to represent the different nations. The focus is not even on the fighting but on character development and interactions and plot development. This is a great series not just for children but for adults as well - even adults ...

(a bit late huh?) for a while it looked like aang had wandered into another iceburg... until this came on. Now aang, the kid who can bend air has hair! a shocking fashion change for avatar fans! The kids now go undercover in the fire nation to plan the invasion of the fire nation so aang can defeat the fire lord and save the world! the first ...

But book 3 is shallow and dumb, too much focus on dating and popularity contest. Not suitable for little kids. Rating: - Love It!The whole family loves the Avatar - "the boy who can bend air, with no hair!" Rating: - Avatar the Last AirbenderMy family love to watch the collection of Avatar, it is good teaching of positive and negetive power within everyone. My boys like to be the hero as Avator to save the world. |
