The ending seemed rushed to me. ^ True, it seemed that way to me, too... but I don't think I could stand that scary stuff much longer. Overall, I thought the episode was quite good. The feeling I got from it was while you became aware very quickly that something was not quite *right*, you still had a sense of levity that lasted all the way to the end. Then everything comes crashing in on you and you're left feeling rather uncomfortable and not a little shocked. Kinda like you've just come back from your wedding reception to find out your house has burnt down. ^ Ah, well said.

At first I was creeped out by the end, but now I like it. I'm still shocked that Jet got brainwashed, I mean, sure I don't like the dude because of him trying to drown the village with FN/EK, but I'm actually worried about him, it creeps me out to think he is probably gonna be Mr. Happy Sunshine. I really can't wait until we see Jet again, and hopefully some more stuff with the Dai Li.

Its looking like them dai li guys dont want the war to end, so that they have the power to control anything in basing se. And the way they treat people is disgusting either, i mean the refugees and all. And to hell with that smirk woman! [ !]

I noticed the weird frame of reference going on there, but I wasn't sure why. I think you might be on to something...or maybe it was just them tyring to show Aang's face. But it was definitely a strange shot that didn't give a clear message.
I think the Aang Gaang needs to look to the proles refugees/outer wall peasants to find Appa and to figure out a plan. The people there know about the war, they're just afraid to do anything. But with the hope of the Avatar behind them...who knows? They outnumber any higher authority in BSS, it would seem, so what keeps them from doing something about this war? Fear. And Aang might be able to ease that fear.

The bottom line to me was:
No wonder they're losing the war!
It seemed best to just get out of there - for everyone. If the Fire Nation embodies the human ability to suffer, the Earth Kingdom seems to have at its core the human ability to delude itself. Very Taoist, but ultimately not all that useful against firebenders.
Perhaps a nice cup of tea is in order, followed by a quick exit to a healthier place.

The episode itself wasn't creepy, just the guides. You know what would be funny? If after the brainwashing, Jet acted like those hippies from CoTL, all pretty flowers and happy smiling. Okay...maybe that would be more creepy -___-...
Anyway, back to my opinion on the actual episode-I LOVED THE ZUKO AND JET FIGHT!!! It was nice seeing Zuko defeat somebody without using fire bending. Oh, and the apron was just icing on the cake. LOL
For my own benefit-155 posts! Woot!

I LOVED THE ZUKO AND JET FIGHT!!!! You wanna show? i'll give you a show............I was LOVED IT!!! It was like my eyes were glued to the TV.......I liked the Momo part!!! LOL!!! I liked the Suki + Sokka moment ALOT!! I also liked the part where Toph recognizes Aang's feet.
I was laughing so hard when Aang said,"General, tell your men to stop shooting rocks." General,"Whatever you do don't stop throwing rocks down there!" I loved it when Katara kicked Ty lee's a$$!!!
