I doubt new guys added to the group will do kataang any harm. I think it will only show Aang and Katara how imporant they are to each other. I think the bigger issue will be the Avatar State.

@amira Pretty much what I was going to say but uh... better.
And if I may be frank, the only reason Katara is surrounded by boys all of a sudden?
Fanservice.
Like half the fandom is Zutara or Kataru or uh... something. Nobody wants half the fandom to stop watching. So they're throwing Katara, Zuko, and Haru into a slightly social (demented and sad, but social) situation to make it seem like there's a chance.
...Okay so I'm being a little sarcastic, but come on, DON'T SAY YOU HAVEN'T ALL THOUGHT IT.
Yeah that was a Breakfast Club quote up there. ...Leave me alone.
It's pretty much like Amira said. For Kataang not to happen, the creators would basically have to undo two and a half seasons worth of character development. I don't see Zutara as a possibility, and I don't know if they would just throw in an off-kilter love triangle when so much craziness is going down war-wise.
I think they all have bigger fish to fry than who Katara is going to choose in the end. If there is a triangle of any kind, it'll be subtle. That's often the way with this show. Think of all the things they have to resolve in the next ten episodes.
-All of the adults in the invasion are imprisoned -Sokka's still buggin' about Suki -Fire Lord, still kicking -Azula, still a total witch with a B -Iroh is MIA -Zuko is trying to join a gang of teenagers who have no reason in the realm of reality to trust him -That whole Omashu thing should probably be resolved... -Aang has to learn firebending now that there's no eclipse -Possible Avatar State nonsense
I could go on. If you think about it, there isn't a lot of time to spend on romance. That's not to say it won't happen, but it won't be big. Like I said, subtlety.

Sky watch the spam okay. On the topic at hand I dobut new guys added to the group will do kataang any harem. I think it will only show Aang and Katara how imporant they are to each other. I think the bigger issue will be the Avatar State. I agree... There are many outstanding issues, mainly the control of the state Avatar, search the firebender teacher training and in the firebending, locating Iroh, the rescue of Suki, the rescue of the whole rebellion that was captured in the eclipse, the search for alliances with Bumi and Paku, and many other details. I hope that there is no time for love triangles , I hate to me is boring, in fact hatred series romance, I like the Kataang by is beyond stereotypes was romantic and remarkably developed mental and spiritual overtones with a deep, pure and true romantic sensibility . Hate every second of a love triangle, I want Katara be aware of their feelings by Aang at a time when their lives threatened, or real drama at a time when state control Avatar where deemed spiritually power of its love, especially in Katara .

Lyralocke: I think I'm going to have to disagree slightly, although I suppose you could interpret it as "fan service" the reason Zuko and Haru and there is an important one with direct influence to the plot. If it was fan service I think they would be walking around half naked while Katara stares and blushes after them, mind you, this might actually happen >< (D:). But I don't see why Haru couldn't play as another love interest for Katara, we know that they never get together so there is no worries there, but it could be a stepping stone for Aang and her relationship to realize that she really does love Aang.

Hey, regulars and newcomers. Good to read you all!
I suppose in life, there is competition for a lady's affection, sometimes even if one's engaged or even married (which I find distasteful.) I hope not to see that as well.
How much stock one puts into it, ultimately, dictates the extent and/or outcome of such. I can't envision Katara allowing flattery to lead into other actions, should she be honed in on her feelings for Aang.
But, I am not writing the episodes. (I did enjoy the last couple of pages of your ideas!) You guys still rock!
Blind Bandit said it like I think: (forgot how to quote, sorry!)

okay, if there's any type of Zuko/Katara/Aang triangle, i will change all of my sigs to Zutara and become a Zutara shipper. edit: and no, i don't mean "zomg!11 civilized talk1!!" or "zomg1!1! Katara beat up Zuko1!1!" or "Zuko and Katara smiled politely at each other, that means they're in love!!," or "blah! blah! blah! anything else that doesn't equal romance." I'm talking about genuine Kataang/Maiko/Sukka/any other type of canon romance-esque type romantic Zutara moments. Understand? *breathes* now, what are you planning on betting? Idk, the inner Zutarian in me says that something special will happen... xD and the logical side in me says that you've just made a fool's bet....

you better define a triangle mindbender, Zutarans can be very liberal with their definition of zutaran moments. *katara freezes Zuko to a tree and breaks his nose.* "OMG! Its angery loouve!! you know katara froze zuko there for some submission action!!1!"

Haha, that is some high risks XD Though I believe you completely, they aren't going to have a triangle between those three. It's obvious Zuko and Aang are parallels, they have separate romances and separate destiny's. Zuko isn't going to like Katara and Katara isn't going to lurve Zuko, fans interpretation of Katara smiling at Zuko meaning she loves him doesn't count btw. Zuko and Aang are basically a reverse of Roku and Sozin. Meaning that as Roku and Sozin started off as BFF and ended in enemies, Zuko and Aang start off as enemies and will end in BFF. So yer, if Zuko, Aang and Katara have a romance I'll...eat my hat. Bwhahaha, I don't have hat so I'm fine >}

Haha, poster made by Avatar Riku. Totally truxfax. ROFL!!! ;D Ha, Breakfast Club is awesome. You gotta love Bender... ^_~ The thing is, why would they feel the need to insert fanservice? In literature, there are no wasted words. If it's important enough to be written, then it has some type of significance. Same with Avatar: they're not just going to throw in some Kataru/Zutara interactions just to please the fandom. Not only would that be tacky & pointless, I'd be very disappointed if they did. It's Bryke's story, and they shouldn't change it just to fit the desires of others. I'm not gonna make a bet on it, but I'm gonna hold you both to that I'll even buy a hat for Frozen just in case. >=)

Ah, okay, I do have a hat >{ So yes, if Zutara becomes romantically canon, i.e. they kiss or something equivalent then I'll eat a hat. And then get sent to hospital....crap. Maybe I'll just make a signature saying I'm an idiot and that I should have believed you guys all along, that's pretty demeaning...I'll do that instead.
But yes, I know I'm fine. 99.9% sure. I know Maiko isn't over and I know Kataang is only getting started. In conclusion, no Zutara makeout for me to grovel over xD

I hope we will not lose any brave soldier Kataang. I do not know why I am not attracted to the idea of a love triangle ,for me is so cliche, hate the idea of any circumstance that makes Aang suffer ,not deserve it, it is highly pressured, and their lives and themselves it is complicated and somewhat sad, Katara is the only thing he has in this world

I personally think Zuko and Katara will have interactions, but of just a friendly nature. I think Katara might be to Zuko what she was to Haru - an inspiration, a motivation, and a great friend. I don't see any triangles - Haru's got his dad to worry about, and Zuko has to work to convince everyone else that he's on the side of the angels. Plus, triangles make me want to spit nails and throw things at people. And I don't want fanservice. I love Zutara and it will always be *my* OTP, but I don't want Mike and Bryan to randomly throw it in there just to say, "Well, see? We threw the Zutarians a bone! Happy now?" I feel like I've been played way too many times by the powers that be anyway (still a bit bitter about that), and if they do any fanservice I will personally beat Mike and Bryan about the head and shoulders. I'm sick of being taunted and made fun of by the people in charge - all I want is respect. I know my ship will probably never sail in canon, and that's ok - just don't toy with me, ok? I deserve better, dangit! ;D

luthienAgreed. With pretty much everything. Triangles also makes me want to spit nails and throw things. And I was kidding about the fanservice. Sarcasm is hard to decipher in type... sorry...
