Do you think Maiko will get as much screentime and effort put into it as Kataang? I think it's pretty likely. Maiko is the second most likely ship in my eyes, though my inner Kataangian is hard to repress.

^^^That's like the third or so reason almost every person will say that is against Maiko . I really hope they get the screen time, but it's most likely they will only get it when Zuko is still trapped with his sis in Ba Sing Se, besides that, if Mai and Ty Lee decide to leave Azula and join Zuko then we can see more screen time . But it's so hard to tell right now.

I think that Mai/Zuko is likely to get a fair amount of development/focus because I think that it's essentially going to be Zuko's romance just like Aang/Katara is their romance. I definitely think it'll be important to his overall arc, particularly since we don't see Zuko connect a lot. And him being emotionally entangled with someone for an extended period of time is something we haven't seen with him with anyone but Iroh. So, it'd be interesting to see how that affects him and his behavoir.

I don't think we'll spend any time in Ba Sing Se in season three at all. I'm pretty sure it'll open with Zuko and the Dangerous Ladies back in the Fire Nation.

Yeah or on their way over back home. I was thinking, we've discussed Azula's effect on a possible relationship between Zuko and Mai but how about Ozai? Will he affect the relationship or Ursa. could she impact it as well?

Well... Ursa might be dead. I hope not, but let's not get ahead of ourselves. I'm assuming any disapproval on Ozai's part will be irrelevant considering daddy dearest is probably trying to kill Zuko. Although he might try to use Mai to get at Zuko.
If Ursa IS alive I think she'd be a foil to Ozai's disapproval and love the idea.

I have no idea what Ozai will do considering his character is still a mystery. But my gut is telling me that he might try and use Mai to get to Zuko or would really care less because he wants Zuko gone anyway, regardless if Zuko is with Mai. Ozai has no compassion for anyone, I doubt he cares if he hurts Mai's feelings.
As for Ursa, she would be for it, I can't think of a reason she would be against it except she knows about Mai relationship with her crazy evil daughter. So it make take some convincing before she believes Mai is trustworthy.

Even if Ursa is deceased, her memory will have some impact on Zuko. If he thinks that Mai would be the kind of his mother would approve of, I think it would help the relationship. his mother seems like the kind to approve of anyone Zuko loves though. I think Ursa would have more of an influence than Ozai since Zuko's definitely a Momma's boy.

The other night a friend and I were talking and an incredible Maiko Scene developed in our heads.
Mai is practicing with her throwing knives/kunai/stilettos/etc when Zuko happens to walk by and see her at it. Zuko, being impressed with her accuracy comments "Wow, you really know how to handle a blade."
Mai, glad to have Zuko's attention, smirks and comments, "Oh I can handle a lot more than that." winks, and walks away.
Zuko, being the classic dweeb that he is, blushes and forgets his legs are supposed to go forward when you walk. Mai smirks again as she's walking away thinking *He's a dork...but he's my dork.* XD

Wait....Stilettos...classic But maybe he really would be impressed with her, because she is still a good fighter and he seems to look up to those who take pride in their fighting skills and of course those who are really good at their chosen style of combat. He could learn from her....ooooo the excitment

I liked that scene. ^^
I wonder if we'll ever get a chance to see them sparring together ((or fighting other people.))

^^I would love to see Zuko and Mai fight against eachother or other people. That would be hot. Wow a fanfic idea just popped in my head !!!!!!!!!!! But I hope if they fight eachother, it doesn't leave them on a bad note, and totally ruins the ship.
