Well, there's the whole "Swamp Theory" going on, but after reading the online comics with Avatar Kuruk's story, Ummi being from the SWT just kind of screams "KATAANG" -___-
I don't know, I never saw Katara's relationship with Aang as being anything more than that of mother/son, brother/sister. I mean, if Harry Potter can go through seven books and say Hermione means as much to him as a sister, than...yeah.
Even with "The Headband" and the dance between them and all that...I just can't see it happening. Aang is just...I don't know, he's twelve. She was the first girl he saw when he woke up after a hundred years, go figure, of course he's going to latch on.
She mothers him like no tomorrow. He runs to her whenever something bad happens...I don't know, I try sometimes to imagine them ending up together, and once in a while I'll read a Kataang fanfic, but even then it just doesn't scream "romance and passion", it's more like "censored incest".
Anyway, that's off topic, back on track, there are Taang moments in canon. They're talking more to each other then they did last season. I loved the dialogue in "Sokka's Master" because there Aang was talking to Toph and asking her questions and stuff like that. Katara mostly didn't say much except to make lame jokes.
Besides, it's only the first four episodes, who knows? The writers love to mess with our heads, so for all we know, this is all just a setup to catch us off-guard when the real pairings happen XD

Yea, I really doubt Aang would ever directly kill Katara, or any innocent person

Anakin did not kill her, he contributed to her not wanting to live after the twins were born, but he didn't kill her. And yes Anakin and Padme is a good camparison because they were happy together during those times, they did genuinely love one another--and there are no siths in the Avatarverse that will make Aang go evil...though Aang turning to the other side, would make a wonderful fanfic! ^_^ And if Anakin/Padme isn't a good comparison then how about...Tomoe/Kenshin? Yes I know he actually killed her in the end, but that was an accident... Wow I'm noticing a lot "cute/comforting" romances going bad here. lol

It was certainly an accident, but he did kill her. Yeah, she didn't want to live. But he did suffocate her, depriving her of needed energy for childbirth, and of course facilitating that whole "I don't want to live" thing. It isn't a direct killing, but certainly a helping hand, and not a good thing.
I too really can't see Kataang as anything other than familial. It actually seems rather creepy, the romantic idea of the two...

Really? I see Tokka more familial than Kataang.
Who knows? Maybe it will be an open ending when it comes to the shipping part of Avatar.

A quick silly idea on who Aang, frustrated by hormones and the close proximity of females, could enlist help from the rest of the male cast on how to deal with women.
"Sokka"
His is the first name that comes to mind right? After all who's had more experience with members of the opposite sex than him?
"........."
Not remotely what I meant.
Yeah he's had 2 girlfriends and is currently toeing the Rock Loli line so why not him?
That's just the problem. 2 girlfriends and he's still not a stable relationship. One's dead and lives on the moon and the other is M.I.A. The guy would be perfect as a comic book hero, he's already got the 'Dead Girlfriend in Freezer' syndrome already.
I will not comment on the Rock Loli bit. No. Just...No.
If Aang were to approach him, first he'd be all 'manly' and stuff trying to teach his 'kid brother' the ropes shortly before suffering a form of PTSD with recurring memories of his dead loves while Aang watches him slowly errode into a puddle of depression.
Aang: "Hey Sokka! I gotta ask you something."
Sokka: "What's up baldy?"
Aang: "You're a real ladies man aren'tcha?"
Sokka: "Yes. I have charmed a skirt or two in my time."
Aang: "I was wondering...how to get a girl's attention..."
Sokka: "Ah. You're growing up so fast. Seems just like yesterday you were ramming yourself into stone statues with your air scooter. Well Aang, buddy, pal. The thing with women is that you gotta show them who's boss."
Aang: "Uh....huh."
Sokka: "You gotta be a real man. Never back down. That's how I got Yue...and...Su..ki. Oh...Yue...I couldn't protect you...Suki poo where are you?!"
Aang: "Riiight. I'll...go over there now."
"Zuko"
The day Aang goes to him for love advice is the day pigs DON'T fly. Check the Bei Fong crest, you'll see what I mean. Zuko's life can be summed up in one word.
Painful.
Which describes his current relationship, and dialoug, with fellow Fire citizen and member of Ozai's Angels: Mai.
Aang: "Sooo...Zuko..."
Zuko: "What?"
Aang: "You're a normal guy right?"
Zuko: "Define normal."
Aang: "You don't get all weepy and stuff right?"
Zuko: "Of course not." *mommy.*
Aang: "And I've seen you with Mai."
Zuko: "Get to the point cueball."
Aang: "How'd you get her to like you?"
Zuko: "Well..."
Mai: "Hey Zuko. Is that Aang? He's bald again."
Zuko: "Oh he was just confused about how to get a girl to like him and he decided to ask me seeing as how you and I are together and..."
Mai: "It was a yes or no question. I hate it when you get long winded."
Zuko: "I love the way you hate everything."
*Tonsil hockey! And Team Zuko just got one past the goalie!*
Mai: "I don't hate you."
Aang: "I don't feel so good." *Urp*
"Bumi"
Yeah sure he's locked up in a metal coffin being dangled from a crane. But if the old coot can find fun in that I don't see why Aang would find it uncomfortable to talk to him. Plus he's lived a long, long life. He's bound to have some nuggets of wisdom for Aang.
Aang: "Hiya Bumi!"
Bumi: "Oh hey chromedome! How's it hanging? get it? Huh? Huh?"
Aang: "Oiii....enough with the bald cracks."
Bumi:" So what can I do ya for?"
Aang: "See, I got this problem...with a girl..."
Bumi: "Oooh. Get her a Saber Tooth Moose Lion! The ladies love them fluffy critters! Encase her in rock candy cause she's sweet! Oh oh I know....."
Aang: "......I should have thought more about this."
"Jet"
Are you gonna be my girl? Heh.
The classic bad boy. Girls should be throwing themselves at him to bear his children right?
Right?
Aang: "Sooo...Jet. Bet lotsa girls wanna be with ya huh?"
Jet: "....."
Aang:"Oh right....dead."
"Iroh"
The great dispenser of sagely advice and peculiar proverbs. In fact for Aang to visit him one has to take into account WHEN Aang looks him up.
Aang: "General Iroh, Sir!"
Iroh: "Please Aang. Call me Uncle Iroh. Or just uncle if you want. Please sit, have some tea. I've got cookies!"
Aang: "Mmmm....cookies. Er, I mean. I'd like to ask you something."
Iroh: "Ask away my boy. Mmmm nothing beats a good cuppa tea."
Aang: "You've been married right sir? How'd you get your wife's attention?"
Iroh: "Well, it was an arranged marriage. But, oh she was a goddess to me. So fair, so radiant, her laugh, her smile...her body..."
Aang: "......"
Iroh: "...Curves that flowed like well brewed tea between one's lips..."
Aang: *Pours tea away*
"Rocky Balboa Iroh"
Aang: "General Iroh sir, I'd...like...to...."
Iroh: "Yes Aang?"
Aang: "....."
Iroh: "Aang? Aang? Are you alright?"
Aang: "So....gleaming... sweat...shiny...too bright...talking like Shatner...losing conciousness."
"Momo and Appa"
......No comment....
Aang: "I've hit rock bottom haven't I?"
*Chirp*
*Growl*
Toph: "Hey Twinkle Toes! You're missing your daily dosage of butt whoopin'...I mean, your earth bending session. Where were you?"
Aang: "Oh just...around...you know. I needed some advice from the guys. Some help they were."
Toph: "About what?"
Aang: "Oh...guy stuff."
Toph: *Snort*
Aang: "Since you're here anyway I guess I should have just asked you straight off. Woulda saved me the trouble."
Toph: "Are you saying I look like a guy?"
Aang: ".....Noooo...."
So in any case, Aang's pretty much on his own if such the situation ever comes up.
Spirits help him.
Cause no one else will.

I swear if Aang said, "Are you an Angel?" back in the early episodes. I'd have switched show right then and there.

A conclusion that is open-ended in the shipping department would allow everyone to keep their fandoms alive, and that may be what I prefer. *chance to write fanfics galore* However, if I were the creators, I would never walk through a parking lot at night ever again.....ambushed by rabid fans dying to know what would have happened...
I would like Taang to happen, although at this point it is very, very improbable. But I'm not known to give up before the game is over.

I see Tokka as familial, just not as much as Kataang.

"What if" fanfics can always be written. and fandoms will survive, no matter what. Aang could get shot in the skull and die and Taang and Kataang will both still survive. Ships don't need to have a chance of being cannon to survive. I want to know what the creators intended to happen

So there's nothing romantic about all of these obvious in-your-face Kataang moments (that you gotta be blind or just plain delusional not to see), but yet Aang and Toph talk to each other and suddenly they're canon? *facepalms* Sokka/Momo must be canon also. They talk to each other all the time Let's not forget Aang/Appa All of u are hilarious. and no, they're not going to leave the shipping open-ended

Yeah, if Taang didn't happen, I'd still write that Fic I spoke of a few Stone Mansions back...
It'd just be a while, since now I still have my HP fic and my Novel. But hey, Taang is just that awesome.
EDIT-
That's not what was said.
You shouldn't be so negative.

I fail to see how two people talking to each other equals a canon moment
