If Zuko left Iroh in that one, then that ep isn't considered filler. Oh yea thats right I forgot about Zuko leaving Iroh in that episode, your right its not filler, in that case i'd have to say "The Fortuneteller".

Still, Avatar Day made avatar look pretty bad in my opinion...I would have to say it was my least favorite episode. It might not be a complete filler, but most of it was.

The great divide. any episode can become vital to the plot. But this is the least likely to be vital. the avatar day brought in the rough rhijnos and they came back against Iroh so it is slightly important to the plot.

I think the Great Divide. Nothing happened in that Episode. It was just get the people across the canyon but make shore they don't fight. But I hated Avatar Day.

Nope, that was "The Spirit World". Iroh said it. So yeah, still useless, that Great Divide. ;D EDIT: Appa's Lost Days added a lot to the plot; we got our first view of Guru Pathik, not to mention the reveal of Long Feng's treachery. Yeah, 2 out of what? 10 events depicted in the episode, if that? Useless filler, if you ask me. I stand by what I said. Everyone's entitled to their opinion, and I respect yours, but still, only 2 things happened to propel the story, next to nothing in the context of the entire episode and the series so far at the point it was the new episode, look at it like that. That's where I'm coming from, the entire series as a whole up unto that point featured more in each episode than just those 2 events in that episode that I said. The Great Divide, while a useless filler, also, I agree, did bring to us the knowledge that Ba Sing Se was a destination for refugees and we all knew that Aang would eventually go there, even if briefly, or so we thought at the time. If you ask me, that info trumps the appearance of a character and the depths of the treachery of another. Justification-style. Not true. It also showed how Ozai's Angels were attacking the Kyoshi Warriors, which explained their appearance in their clothes in the Earth King.

I would have to say The Great Divide like most people. I don't see what those triped had to do with anything at all. All it shows is that Aang can get people to except each other and not kill. We knew that already

The Great Divide. All it did was have Aang help some people. He does this in every episode and it didn't really help move along the overall plot, except that it showed they were still traveling and had a long ways to go...

Wow, this thread is still going... o.o Anyway. I suppose my ulteror motive by making this thread was to find out if there were any. With such short seasons (compared to some shows), they really can't afford to have any- I mean, they said it takes 9 months to make one episode! NINE! Gah. I wish they'd put more shipping in, it makes it fun. Heh heh heh. *cackles evilly at controversy*

This topic seems to be becoming, like, episode bash...jeez, Avatar Day wasn't THAT bad. Come on, who else besides me doesn't like the visual of Aang eating a dough version of himself? And the little in-between bit with Aang conversing to the prisoners about his feelings for Katara was solid gold in my opinion ("Don't be afraid to tell her how you feel." *sniffle* L. O. Frikkin' L.). There was shipping in that episode.
Well, the thing about filler is it's neccisary. It's for people like me who didn't get to see the first episode or come in part way through. It gives the person a taste of what the show is like without confusing elements of plot to make the person become confused and not be able to follow. And, plus, Avatar is a comedy too, so it needs humorous in-betweeners to balance out all the angst and tragedy.

I'm probably biased, as I am a hardcore Kataang, but I don't think neither The Fortuneteller nor The Cave of Two Lovers are fillers.
One way or another, Aang's crush on Katara, heavily featured in both epiosdes, is a very important storyline in the series. Heck, it directly contributed to the events of The Crossroads of Destiny.
Not to mention the fact that we discoverd that Omashu had been taken over at the end of CotL, as well as the fact that Zuko got his first taste of peasant-hood.

*sighs deeply*
*sighs deeply once more*
.....I remember the day that I saw Boy in the Iceburg---the episode, in my opinion, least vital to the plot. It was a sick, sad day, that day. Indeed it was. Indeed it was. I remember that someone had jacked our television the night before, and so I had to settle for a mere twelve inch screen for this episode.
......
I suppose as long as I'm being nostalgic, I will inform you of the weather on the particular day as well. Well, it was cloudy, and muggy. I hated the very escence of the outdoors that day because I was constantly sweaty, and couldn't refrain from sweating out my Super Barbie Awesome purple foundation that my grandmother had brought from Mexico to give to me. Yes. Yes, indeed. I was quite angry about that. In fact, I was so very upset, that I broke a dish or two....and shaved the cat completely hairless.....and from that point stuck bee stingers in his back just to replicate my own anguish. It was terrible. Albeit, it worked, for after that, I was no longer nearly as upset. In fact, I was happy enough to watch a new series called, if you must know: Avatar: the Last Airbender; a show about a little bald child with a genetic skin deficit that feigned blue arrows all over his body.
And so I watched it. And I watched it well. And well, after 30 minutes, I was angry again. Because I had realized, that was a terrible episode. To compensate, I destroyed anything given in sight--peripheral and plain view. I warn you, havoc was laid and displayed. Couches were sabotaged, refrigerators thrown at homeless men, houses suddenly, and explicity, dilapidated, hair was torn from various scalps. However, and thereafter, I felt better. My discontent toward the episode had been unleashed....and I was all but ready to watch another one.

I diagree, "The Boy in the Iceberg" is one of the most important episodes in the series.

yea,without all the stuff that happened in that we wouldn't get to see how Aang met Katara and Sokka,I hate when a Tv show starts somewhere other then the start, I wouldn't really like Billy and Mandy if I didn't know why the hell the Grim reaper is best friends with a mentally challenged person and an angry person until season 4 or whenever they showed that flashback. It doesn't belong in every show, I don't need to know when sponebob was born,or when he met Patrick.
