I guess I shouldn't have brought it up then? Eh, it may be done to death but it's better TEH SPAM. No, it's okay. It's a good point. However, yin/yang represents a lot of things and is not exclusive to the elements or Zutara. Aang and Katara are yin/yang personalities. The carefree balancing out the serious. And in that case it is not destructive or conflicting. They form a cohesive push/pull partnership that IMO embodies what Tui and La stood for.

The carefree balancing out the serious. Alright then. Yeah, Yin/Yang isn't just exclusive to Zutara. That's why it isn't really a good argument since any pairing cane be applied to it. Yin/Yang is also about a "harmonious balance", correct? Aang and Katara have that so they are rather Yin/Yang-ish.

So everyone... any predictions on whether there'll be more Kataang in season three?

When Fire and Water clash together they create an imbalance. Balance between them directly will never exist, its impossible, you could generate a million scientific theories it is just not possible, one will always try to dominate the other. Air and Water are opposites, but they can work in harmony without overpowering one another or generating resistance. Fire and Water dont period. Take a hurricane for an example, the faster the wind pushes against the wave the stronger and taller it becomes, together their combined collaboration generates a stronger force.

I agree with that. Their elements work together, which something you really want in a relationship.
I think there will be plenty of Kataang moments in the third season, I mean they can't just build it all up to suddenly drop it.

After all, the writers have been writing since the first episode. It would be odd to just drop it. That said, I'm off to bed. Night Kataangs.

why opposite elements are always imbalanced:
The four material elements (Air, Earth, Fire, and Water) each have an opposite that can cancel the effects as it does naturally in nature. Each element also has two copasetic elements that have a synergy with it and they work together in nature. When opposite elements conflict, whichever is in greater concentration or strength will eventually destroy the other. We see this all of the time in nature. When there is a great fire, a small amount of water will only delay the spread of the fire because the intense heat will evaporate and destroy the water. However, in large amounts such as a heavy rain, the water smothers the fire and cools it, dousing its flames.
Copasetic elements can work together in nature and although they have the power to destroy one another, it is often a long and tedious process if ever at all. When a river flows over the earth it does not penetrate the dirt and rock very much at all, but over time, the water eventually wears down the earth and digs deeper creating great chasms and deep river beds. The earth is strong and holds the water together, forming the river or the lake, thereby working together to sustain that ecosystem. By the same token, a fire cannot breathe without air, but together they can become powerful and destroy an entire tract of forest.

Power, where did you get that?
The thing about yin and yang is that there is many descriptors for each. Female, male, light, dark, etc. It's not limited to elements.

Quite right... actually, if you look at the qualities of the elements, both Air and Fire are the masculine elements anyway. Both Water and Earth are feminine elements. So while Zuko might meet certain qualifications of yin/yang - so does Aang!

*Realms of Aquilar* site for this sort of puzzle game Amira. When I found this it basically summerd up to what I was saying in the Zutara room.....oy Criminy! Same old yin yang theories again its gettin really played out Fire and Water will always be imbalanced when in direct contact, there is no workaround! Sheesh!

Additionally, one of the points they're touting for Zuko seems to be skewed to me. They say that he is "logic" to counter Katara's "emotion". Zuko is hardly someone I would associate with the word "logical".
