Let's talk about how we started to adore Zutara. I'll start with mine: I was never really interested in any pairings in the show but I always saw Aang's crush on Katara as puppy love. I've also gotten used to stories where the messianic character figure has so much duties and responsibilities to be with the ones they love despite wanting to. I've always seen Aang's destiny as one that would bring stability in the world overriding his personal goals and wishes.
Now, this is how my fascination with Zutara began; Aunt Wu said it "You will marry a very powerful bender" Now seeing Aang smile at that prediction because he IS the Avatar and he fits the criteria SOO well. Now my experience with fortunetelling in various literature have always been completley different from what the reader or characters percieve it. If Aang was indeed that very person, it was a too obviouse giveaway because he fit the criteria PERFECTLY. Fortunetelling isn't usualy what one expects. It is usually true but not in the way the expect it to happen. This was further implied when Aunt Wu saw no romance in Aang's reading.
For some reason Zuko was the person that popped immediately in my head. You ask why? Because he is the one character Katara would not expect to fall for. Now I know Aunt Wu gave Aang advice about reshaping your own destiny bu what I find strange is, even though she gave said advice all her predictions still came to be! The village was indeed not destroyed by the volcano! I have also experienced fortune readings in various media that even the Fortune Teller him/herself does not expect her reading to happen as exactly like he/she predicted.
Since then I was hooked! For me that is the one moment that sent Zutara vibes to me. The only other Zutara moment for me was Iroh's little lecture in Bitter Work. He emphasized on how Zuko should draw knowledge ofrom the different Natin to become stronger. And I noted the emphasis on the Water Tribes philosophies and characteristics on how it would be the type of philosophy that would help Zuko alot.

Very Well, Feng!!!
I must add.......
If Aang is that "powerful bender" that will merry with Katara; what will be the fun, drama and history, if he already listened the prediction..... !!!!
Surely that Aang is completely safe that he will marry with Katara....................and when the opposite is demonstrates, He will be disappointed

No, if Aang felt completely safe that Katara's heart was his, he wouldn't have had the conversation with the prisoners in Avatar Day and he wouldn't have opened up to her in SoTFN. But even Katara associated him with being "the powerful bender." He is, like Zuko, an option for her.
And it should be "if" not "when." There is nothing to say that Aang will be disappointed. And to say such is jumping the gun just a bit.

I don't know, really what to say........
We must have to wait a little more..................
I hope that Aang say some about that of the fortuneteller..................
But, with him and that crush that he has...........

That pretty good!!!! He looks a little older XD cool! How do you guys think Zuko will get a fever in the next episode? He seemed fine in the end of Lake Laogai.. I think that it will be for all his personal crisis, you know; his father, the avatar, his actual condition (he has nothing), he is chased by his sister, and the big question: ¿Must he give up his dreams?.....He don't want; but without the Avatar he has no more ideas of How return to his home.

But maybe it will force him to think outside of the box. Zuko doesn't want to be his father or like his father and by becoming leader of the Fire Nation, I do think he could help heal his own Nation that has been affected by war, vilified by the world, and has been burdened with shifts in the position of leadership.
Zuko is probably one of the most close-minded characters of the bunch. His entire mindset has been about chasing the Avatar, capturing him, and regaining his throne. He has for the most part ignored or refused to listen to Uncle Iroh.
Hopefully now he will realize that what he needs to do is actually make the changes himself, that life isn't always what you want it to be and even if that happens you still can have a fulfilling exsistence, that he will shed the whole victim mentality, that he can regain his position and title but it will involve thinking in a new way. I hope that that will lead him on his own journey.

Yea, that boy is only problems................
He must make his own decisions; leaving the opinion of the others out side; the one of his father, his uncle, of all. And to concentrate himself in which he truely wants.
Until now, and so far, we do not know what he truely wants.
We know that he is a good boy at heart; and by the sight; he gave everything of him for to return to its home; in order to recover its honor.
But never he explained exactly what he thinks to do after that.
That is to say; we know very little of its dreams; we know that he has one; by that he is able of until the impossible thing (to swim in congealed waters and to risk to die congealed or to rob a bison of who knows whichever tons).
I hope that soon we know of him.

How do you guys think Zuko will get a fever in the next episode? He seemed fine in the end of Lake Laogai.. Zuko didn't get much screentime to develop, so his developing moments were very drastic like almost losing his uncle for example. In the next episode "the Earth King", Zuko falls ill and has feverish dreams full of spiritual visions. This probably will be the effect of Zuko giving up his Blue Spirit mask (a metaphor for Zukos rabid and selfish quest on capturing the Avatar). I think, that this spiritual experience will push his development to a great degree, possibly making him concider joining the gAang soon.

How do you guys think Zuko will get a fever in the next episode? He seemed fine in the end of Lake Laogai.. Zuko seemed fine physically, but I think his insides suffered a reality slap that hurt him deeply. The Blue Spirit, up to this point, was a part of him- his alter ego in many ways. It must have been hard to let go, even if it was for the greater good. He's now suffering through an identity crisis and to make things worse, he now has a shady destiny. That alone can drive anyone to the brink of madness. I doubt the harsh winds or the occasional spring shower will bring him a fever, but his stress can. Hopefully, he will be able to give himself hope in the darkest times.
