k_puffOkay, so I've been rewatching the Avatar series lately, because... I wanted to. So I'm through seasons 1 and 2 and halfway through season 3. I'm rediscovering all my favorite episodes, and it's WONDERFUL.
1. Cave of Two Lovers. It's got everything. Hippies! Singing! Mythical backstory! Sokka being sarcastic and surrounded by idiots! Sokka being naked! Appa being adorable! KATAAAAAAAAAANG.
2. The Beach. This episode has it all: LULZ and angsty backstory without hitting you over the head with it. These kids (with the exception of Zuko) talk about their unhappy childhoods with a certain casual matter-of-factness which is, to be honest, a little bit chilling. And then there's Ty Lee, being Ty Lee. And Mei, being Zuko's "cranky girlfriend". And Azula, EPICALLY FAILING AT BEING A TEENAGER. XD Azula lulz bring that episode out of 'great' and into 'I could watch this every day and still not get sick of it'.
3. The Blind Bandit. This has always been one of my favorites, because TOPH ILU. T_T I want to be Toph when I grow up. She's so awesome and brave and determined and she doesn't let her crappy home life keep her from living up to her potential. <3
4. The Headband. The epicness of this episode can be summed up in five words: AANG THROWS A DANCE PARTY. I love how he opens up the Firenation Kids' mind to being independent and not always assuming that you have to live your lives the way your elders' tell you to. It's an important concept, especially in the case of this kind of war, and I'm glad the creators recognized that and dealt with it in a heartwarming way. Also: SOKKA WITH A BEARD. KATARA AND AANG'S SEXYDANCE. These are things not to be missed.
5. I'm saving the 5th spot until I finish the last half of s3, because I think that if I don't I'm going to miss something.
YAY AVATAR. HOW I MISS THEE.
