I suppose that's the problem, then. Extremely healthy relationships = boring television ;x
Most people want to see the wild, passionate flings.

True, true. There can be as many romances as there are characters in a story, and numerous variations of how they progress.
I suppose that slow and steady does match Toph's element.

However, even if it would be a slow to form and seemingly unentertaining growth of love, that is not to say it would be all together boring. It would be the kind of love that comes without warning. All the while figuring eachother happy as simply friends, until something motivates them to become closer, or threatens to pull them apart. Also, if they both are trying to act as individualists, feeling that they should not be romantically linked. Thus it would offer a great deal of romantic(for lack of a more mature word) tension as they try to be "just friends".

I suppose it helps if their enteraction is, in itself, entertaining to watch. Positive moments, negative moments (those are important), all to keep you wondering.

Im doing my mod job buddy, but I cant help indulge myself in conversation XD.
EEEEE...
Katara does not cater to his needs as if he is making some requests :::::headdesk:::::. She chooses to assist him in him journey despite the big risk she is taking in doing so. Now you know I could not pass up the opportunity to respond to this ( I have no gun xD). Seeing how this is the Taang board, I know I am going to be disagreed with. Its quite apparent that Katara does have some liking to him, (must I go through this again?) Getting all flustered in a love cave and them nearly taking his head off when he says the wrong thing is an obvious sign that something is going on between them xD. I am surprised it scares you, M&B has formulate this relationship from the get go, and we will just have to seee where it goes from there. And yes she can see him as the Savior of the World, but that does not negate the fact that she considers him something more. Ill end this portion here.

I am surprised it scares you, M&B has formulate this relationship from the get go, and we will just have to seee where it goes from there. That much has been clear, but just becase it's been thought of since the get-go doesn't necassarily prove that it's going to end this way. Heck, Iroh was meant to become the future Firelord since the "get-go" and what happened- he got dethroned by his own brother. Things happen and even if Katara and Aang do get together in the end[Kataangs: YAY^^] or not[Taangs: YESH!] one things certain: no matter what they'll always remain very good friends. what more could you ask for? *gets shot*

Im doing my mod job buddy, but I cant help indulge myself in conversation XD. You're job is to tease girls? Do you get dental with that? Figure you'd need it for when they knock your teeth down your throat. (kidding) I do disagree, but not because this is the Taang board. Power, you're basing this on your own hopes for the ship. You want to see them as having a pure, untainted love, so to you, that's what it is. And even if Mike and Bryan had it planned into the "dna of the show", and someone like Yice might be right that it doesn't necessarily mean kataang romance is coming, that doesn't mean they know what they're talking about anymore than the rest of us. Yes, they know what the canon of the show will be, because they are the ones writing it. But like I've said a thousand times, that does not mean they are all knowing or infallible. They are not gurus who know the meaning of existence or psychologists who understand the deep complexities of human emotion. They are kid show writers. They're going to write what they want, and I am in no way obligated to agree with their telling. I enjoy the characters and am free to imagine them in my own way, the same as you, and the same as Mike and Bryan. I'm not looking to change anyone's opinion, just express my own. Enjoy the show.

[Well it doesnt hurt to hope does it? I wasnt really hoping for a full course pure relationship, cus obviously there are going to be some issues up ahead, which will have to be rectified in some way xD No, it doesn't hurt to hope. Hope is a wonderful thing. However, deluding one's self, and simply choosing not to look any deeper than you choose to into a matter can hurt. Of course, this is just a silly kid's show, so in this case it doesn't hurt anybody. I'm hoping you're kidding. But I'll explain anyway, since I like to read my own type. Basically I'm saying that just because they made an entertaining show and talked producers into giving them a contract, doesn't mean they actually have anything wise or worthwhile to say. It just means they were amusing. Time will tell if the story turns out to be more than just a collection of cliche fluff and melodrama. But either way, I don't have to say they wrote a better story than I imagined myself. It's all relative really.

Hmmmm.........OK, what needs to happen for Toph and Aang to bond more other than fighting together and training? I'd try to paraphrase Lunauc's paragraphs but he's too smart for me.

But I think we strayed off of Taang things...lol Like i said, it's a kid show. You're not required to look beyond the simplified story given to you. I simply choose to. And I know I seem to go a bit off topic in explaining my opinion, but I find I have to explain the way I think before people will give my thinking any thought. I don't really expect people to consider my opinions though. I've always been a bit odd in the way I view subtle and obscure details before grand ideas. What can I say? I'm just the kind of man who prefers the cookie of the oreo to the cream. Nonsense, Taiyo. I'm just pompous and pretentious. As for the needs of Toph and Aang, I'd say the first thing they would need to do is simply recognize one another. They have a lot in common, as far as background, upbringing and flaws. It's a good thing to start to build a friendship on, if they just started to realize the things they had in common.
