One last thought that came to me yesterday... Anyone else think that it was strange how Zuko referred to Ozai as Dad before their first meeting? I did! When he said to Azula that he hadn't see Dad yet I'll be honest, even if it makes me look really stupid, it took me a few seconds to realize he was talking about Ozai. I know he only has one "dad" but I could have sworn Zuko has consistently referred to him as "father". Why all of the sudden does he feel close to him? It was so weird, because even though he was back home, he was still worried about whether Ozai would accept him. Is there anything in the magazine comics that could have an explanation for it?

Perhaps he was being less formal because he was talking to his sister?

I don't know about you guys, but I for one was not expecting them to reveal Ozai's face so quickly. I was in complete shock when they showed his face for the first time. Despite how "nurturing" he may have been in this episode, you can't forget that he was the one who burned Zuko's face and banish him. Despite his appearance you can't forget that, doing so will only lead to regret.

Mike and Bryan said that Azula is a chip off the old block...Ozai is bound to show his true colours pretty soon and prove just as reprehensible as his little girl...their beauty masks their true nature...

I think they chose to show his face at this point so as to emphasis Zuko's feelings.
He hasn't seen his father in three years, and the last time he saw him, his daddy burned his face.
So we were all so shocked to see Ozai looking so calm and even soft. Zuko, likewise, must've been thrown off by that, since the last time he saw his father was when his father was mercilessly giving him that scar.
So it was a tool to get us to participate in Zuko's feelings.
That's what I thought anyway.

A person can be ugly as a mud fence, but feed the poor and house the homeless--and on the flip side, a dead ringer for Paris Hilton can kick puppies and abuse children.

We are following the storyline as Zuko goes through it for the most part, so seeing his father's "soft" face allows us to experience Zuko's shock wih him....if that makes any sense.

RP! Good to have you back. ^.^ And yeah, I think we were meant to be shocked at how kind Ozai looked. I hope it wasn't just an animation accident... But I do wonder if his face was hidden so long to mask his age? Maybe Azulon had more than one wife, or successive wives, and preferred Iroh's mother.
