I had never thought about Katara as being the only healer. I never realized how much the Gaang would benefit from Song.

It was kind of a cop-out by not having Katara use her bloodbending, the same way Mai and ty lee were not seen at all during the invasion.
Katara has her own issue to deal with the bloodbending, it would make sense for Song to come in to fill the void of not having a healer in the group.

I'm not doubting she was upset...but as being something of a 'Mai' myself I don't think she'd cry...I just don't see it as something she'd do. I couldn't tell you the last time I cried...though I can tell you it was due to physical pain...

I didn't say she was going to cry, I just said that IMO I thought her facial expression appeared to have wanted to cry. I also don't think its in Mai's character to cry.

I guess the reason she doesn't look so heart-broken like the other two is because...she's Mai. The emotion is there--just to a lesser degree because that's just how she is, I suppose.
But I will say this--Song looks crushed and disappointed--Jin looks resigned. Mai actually comes off looking somewhere between sad and frustrated. So kudos to the animators on these details.
I actually had a huge post somewhere on just what and how Song can really give the Gaang a bit of an edge, but I'll have to search for it later. ^^

^Really compare the three Mai looks like she's on the verge of tears. Funny... some people think the same of Song as a reason for her being too 'weak' for Zuko. (Truth is, there was not animation on the iris to indicate the gathering of moisture equalling tears. The only time that has ever happened was as a joke, otherwise tears stream down the face :/) You should also remember that they got back together fairly quickly afterwards.... So the emotion was fleeting. I'm sure Song's disappointment lingered for longer then an hour or two (if that in Mai's case.)

Come to think of it ,It would have been really funny if at the point Zuko and Iroh were riding off, that Song rushed out and Earthbended them into the next village...

^I really don't like the idea of Song being an earthbender... her normalcy and non-fighter-ness makes her relatively unique within the cast and her being a bender sort of shatters that...

Well that's what I would find funny, then again that's me, and I once thought Jethro Tull was one of the Beverly Hillbillies!
Joke too old?
