Hey, it's part of the anime rules. Every neutral/bad guy in anime has to have a sad backstory so fangirls will sympathize and love him.
Works every time. ^^;

That episode shows a lot of the past, and without the episode we wouldn't understand some of it. I hope that makes sense^^

:-*I love Zuko in this episode you see a side to him that you would hardly ever get to see through the show. And wasn't he cute!!! I do think that girl was his sister-she didn't look old enough to be his mother.

This episode is the latest I've seen and it is, in my humble opinion, the most captivating installment thus far.
Every fandom has an episode like this that becomes notorious amongst the fans. These kinds of episodes tend to revolve heavily around the development of a specific character, like the way the Teen Titans episode 'Birthmark' focuses a lot on the development of the character of Raven and is thus a fav of the fans.
In the case of 'The Storm', there is a lot of revealing going on, which is most likely why it strikes such a chord. We have our central character, Aang, as well as the dynamic character Prince Zuko, both getting the development treatment. What I find interesting here though is that while Aang takes an active involvement in communicating the events of his past and actually undergoes a character arc, Zuko is himself oblivious to the fact that his story is being related by Uncle Iroh. The arc which Zuko undergoes during the course of the episode is in fact minimal, and he ironically takes something of a backseat as Iroh does the revealing and the ship's crew do the reflecting. In contrast, poor Aang has not only to actively recount his past to Katara, but also to learn a valuable and difficult lesson (that dwelling on the past does no good).
Anyway, there's just so much more I could say about this episode, but I don't want to seem like any more of an obsessive over-analytical oddball than this mile-long post has probably already made me out to be!
I did have a question about this episode though and I'd be really interested to hear what you guys think (bearing in mind that I haven't seen any episodes past this point, so please try not to drop any major spoilers). The question is this: Uncle Iroh seems to be such a wise and kindly character; if the Fire Lord is his brother, and his brother treated Zuko so appaulingly, why did Iroh not speak up on Zuko's behalf? Surely he has some influence over his own brother?

I'm waiting for Canada to air it. I want to see it so bad! It sounds so good!!
*sighs* At least I have the Internet... But it's just not the same as seeing it yourself.

I hope the creators show why Zuko and Zhao hated each other so much.

I really enjoyed seeing the past of Zuko and Aang. I hope they do more episodes like 'The Storm' for some of the other characters.
