Well, if we're talking about canon, Maiko has Zutara blown out of the water Hmm, then wasnt Maiko blown out of the water back when Zuko hooked up with Jin? I wouldn't really count that as a hook up, Zuko was to shy to even kiss her, Zujin was like a teaser for Zuko, IMO. Maiko FTW

Well, I always thought that Maiko was a cute idea with the flashback and the crush. However, once I saw the trailer I changed my mind about it & the episode confirmed my feelings. Bleh.. it kind of feels like Mai is using Zuko, and since we haven't found out about Mai yet it feels like they're pairing an underdeveloped character w/ a very developed one.
Lol... I don't get why we're having this poll. If anything, the episode confirmed Zucest!
Either way, Zutara forever. <3 I'll never abandon my ship.

I don't think that Mai is using Zuko, I believe that her feelings are true. However I know that she is going to have to start paying more attention to what Zuko is really feeling if there is to be hope that it will last.
In the mag there is a comic that hints at a larger history between the two of them that we are missing in the show. Hopefully we will get more flashbacks on mai's past (as was hinted by the creators, if I remember correctly).

^ I really hope so, because the first episode everything seemed so vague... but yet again, weeks did go by, so maybe we'll see what happened in those weeks.

I would probably take Maiko more seriously if one of Mai's only lines in the episode wasnt just dismissing all of Zukos personal problems.

Very good point there, I mean Azula is trying to mess with Zuko just because Azula was the one that killed Aang in the first place, and Azula take Zuko for credit for killing Aang, well lets say Mai will try to get him not to worry about Aang, even if he is still alive, I mean Maiko will be the best thing there is.

Same here, I don't mind if Maiko sales, but at the same time, I am for Zutara and personally he showed neither interest in Katara or Mai only because he was worried that Aang was still alive. But he's just acting like a total butt hole right now!

Yeah, she could have said more and just showed more... empathy. But that's her character, either way I'm going to like Maiko unless it gets so OOC I don't recognize them anymore.

Heck if Maiko is going to sale then they both need to show that they care about each other more.

Ya it is her character. and thats one of the reasons I like her.

Obviously, we're going to see some Maiko. But I'm starting to think that Zuko isn't really going to end up happily with anyone. And, sorry, but I really, really don't see Zutara happening now.
I really don't see how Katara could ever like Zuko - at least not without enough crazy plot twists and unfounded character development to fill up a few seasons. Seriously, his descision contributed to the near death of Aang - and whether you see her feelings for Aang as motherly or romantic, you can't possibly expect her to forgive that.
Really, I think that the biggest obstacle to Zutara right now is the fact that it's the third season already. And now, Katara has more reason than ever to hate him. And Zuko has more problems than ever to sort out. And there are so many things going on this season, that it would be so weird and harmful to the storyline to suddenly try to develop some romance that has no basis and no development so far.
I really don't expect any of the main characters to end up with anyone. Maybe some hints at romance, but nothing concrete.

Maiko. I'm not as devoted to any Zuko ship as I am to Kataang, but Maiko seems to be the only possible Zuko ship at the moment; I would give Zujin a good second, and Soko for the third, if he runs away. But Zutara is fanon, so it's just not happening.
Although I am starting to like Maiko more after that episode. People think the kiss came on too quickly, but I thought it was a really cute scene <3 Not as much depth as Kataang, but Mai is comforting Zuko in his depression and in turn Mai becomes happier.

Eh, I ship both. However, I do feel sorry for those who may not have read the comic. If I haven't managed to buy the magazine (Eckerds had it apparently), I would've been, "Where the heck did that come from?" The development for the kiss I mean. A family member of mine asked that and I told her to go read the comic and that'll help her out.
As for Katara never forgiving Zuko, I'd say it depends on where he goes. If he changes to some kind of good to overthrow the Fire Nation, I can see her doing the Jet Returns treatment only a little bit worse. But like with Jet, there could end up some kind of reconcilation. Not necessarily romantic but a closure like between Harry and Draco (sorry to those who haven't read the seventh book). They're not necessarily friends, Harry and Draco, but they're definitely not enemies either. I can see Zutara ending that way. Again, depends on where Zuko's character goes.
