kind of late question but does anyone know why Katara and Sokka didn't go with aang to see their dad and Toph stay to "Watch over the king"? I mean couldn't she of visited her mother and still stayed with the king?

yeah, probably. but since Long Feng is gone, the Earth King probably needs a new advisor by his side 24/7. though i thought Sokka would stay behind, cuz he is more of the strategist...

I was mildly dissapointed that Sokka allowed Katara to insist that he go in her place, even after hearing Suki was there. At the same time, if he had I know it would've ruined the ending, but still.
The Toph thing had me going 'WTF?', too. It made sense to me for her to watch the king, she's certainly not uncapable of doing so.

I thought the same thing. But she probably wanted to be with her mom more than help the king with the war.

Katara stayed for storyline reasons. Toph went by herself for storyline reasons. I just hope she returns.

I thought so too. I guess sokka at least now will get some cool fight scenes with his dad. If he doesn't, I will be seriously po'd.

You know, I thought the same thing with I saw it. Maybe Toph had to go way to the other side of the city or something, that's why Katara had to stay there.

That is true, it is a big city with obstructing walls. That, or it could be random plot.

Actually if you think about it Toph has never really fought firebenders aside from the group fight vs Azula. Even more so I don't think she has a grasp of firebender tactics either. Both Sokka and Katara were at the siege of the north and know more about FN seige tactics. Aang obviously can't stay since he has to go to the guru.

Very true.....also, by the way Toph said her mother sounded as if she finally understood her, maybe she was planning on going back home with her. *shrugs*

also, Sokka might be going to his father in order to set up the scene of the invasion of the Fire Nation. After all, the Fire Nation is a group of islands on the other side of the world, and who best to bring them there other than the Water Tribe? Earth Kingdom navy is horrible...plus Sokka knows firebender tactics probably by this point

Yeah...i think that Toph just wanted to be with her mom. After all, wouldn't you want to see your mom after a long time?? Katara stayed because she knew how much Sokka wanted to see their Dad. i might be wrong though...

Also, Katara thought that it was actually her mother who had a change of heart. Apparently she had a say as well as her husband, so Toph felt that they respected their daughter the way she is: a tough Earthbender. After feeling rejected from almost everyone except the Gaang, this is something new, and she finally feels accepted.

Katara stayed for storyline reasons. Toph went by herself for storyline reasons. I just hope she returns. I agree completly, *remember the characters don't have a choice ;D
