Edit: Sorry, cyrrylia, misunderstood what you were asking. Episode nine ruined in in the sense that Aang daydreamed he was kissing Katara, and was all like, "You're my forever girl, baby."

Oh, that. But that's totally nothing new. It doesn't matter much. It's not like it's new info or anything.

True, but I think people were kind of hoping that Aang was starting to develop feelings for Toph, and him daydreaming about Katara just sort of...shot down that small amount of hope.
Oh well, we know there's still another eleven episodes left to the season, so maybe things'll change.

Not everyone's seen episode 9 yet.
Some want to savour each episode when its aired. So let's not spoil their appetite.
On a side note: Judging from the hand holding scene Toph has small hands doesn't she? Or are her wristguards just too big?

She has tiny hands - she seems to be very small all the way around. A delicate look, but most certainly not a delicate personality!

I dunno about that. She's certainly small, but I mean, her muscles are all super toned and defined and such. Just look at her in The Beach. She doesn't look to delicate to me.

I don't think her muscles are THAT defined, and yet she still doesn't look delicate. I'd say she's small for sure though...

Toph's not small, she's...petite. XD Though, she definitely has muscles, but they're not like guys, which jut out more. I think she looks delicate if it's the first time you see her, and you have no idea who she is, she kind of reminds you of a china doll, just a little bit. At least, that was my first impression of her. She definitely has that exotic look, don't you think so? I think it's her eyes that give her that. EDIT: I just had a thought about episode seven, "The Runaway". You know how Toph sends a letter to her parents at the end of it? Well, we see the bird flying off into the sky, and that's it.
I don't know about you guys, but I was expecting them to show the bird reaching the Bei Fong estate and Poppy or Lao opening the letter. It makes me think something might've happened to her parents, since we don't see them receiving the letter.
What do you guys think?

Toph's small, but stable, like her element. She's got this "move or die" look about her when she's at her scariest (refering to my avatar).

I just had a thought about episode seven, Personally... I'm more curious how they expect the bird to reach the Bei Fong estate, when it's never been there before. Homing birds generally work by following trained routes. So... if the bird has never been there before... ? ~ ed. spoiler tags.

When I picture Toph, I think of mentaly strong with her bending, but not physically strong. But she sure looked strong in the beach.

Kana - that banner is awesome. The "Getting more canon by the second" one. It got me thinking about a new topic. Let's assume that Taang will happen for the sake of discussion. That the creators have planned it because Kataang doesn't send the right message, let's say. When would it start switching? When in the season will Aang start shifting focus to Toph, or perhaps the other way around? Will it happen gradually? Perhaps the swamp theory is correct, and Aang ends up learning that perhaps Toph is the reincarnation of his past love, so he gradually starts to see her in a different light. Or would it happen all at once? It's basically shoved right in Aang's face that Katara is not the one for him, based on perhaps him being far too dependant, or him misplacing the love he has for her and thinking it romantic when it isn't. I dunno. Or would it be something else? And when in the season would the changes/shift occur do y'all think?

lunauc: well, it's Avatar, so maybe their birds work like the owls in HP. They just "know".
cyrrylia: After the invasion. Definitely after the invasion. I expect the defeat would shock him to the core. Besides, in "Nightmares and Daydreams" he had a nightmare where Toph didn't have any eyes, so I think that's foreshadowing that Toph's going to get her face stolen by Koh, hence "The Swamp Theory" comes into play. ~ ed. spoiler tags.

Not really. If he was developing feelings for Toph I doubt they'd get an upper hand on his feelings for Katara so quickly. It'll happen whenever Toph knocks him unconscience, drags him into her earth tent, and [censored]. j/k. I really don't know. Oh yea about Aang thinking it's romantic when it's not.......I'll just beg to differ. Since it's kinda hard to confuse platonic/ familial love for romantic love. well when I think of exotic, I think of a lover girl, and a color full parrot, and food from a country I can't pronounce. So........no

Given that we've got only 9 episodes left. I'm not counting the 2 for the Day of Black Sun, they'll be busy fighting not macking. Anyway, I'd say that a full blown relationship is out of the question now since we've only got 9 episodes to flesh it out. Katara and Aang's relationship got 2 and half seasons!.
Maybe small hints of attraction and such. But not a full blown 'Let's leave the sissies to their squabbles and go make out in an earth tent' kind of thing. Let's leave that to our own imaginations and the epilouge if there is one.
The shift shouldn't happen right after the Day of Black Sun, wouldn't feel right. We'd need Suki or another girl to take up Sokka's time as well as Aang to be weaned off Katara first. And for Taang to be visually on screen in 9 episodes we need those two things to happen.
So I'm guessing have Suki show up during the day of black sun. Sokka and her get their stuff in order. Toph's side done. For Aang, he needs to get his behind kicked by Ozai or someone else maybe Azula. He looks to Katara for help, its not coming. He realises he's on his own. And being on his own sucks.
The invasion fails (Or it might not seeing as how the creators like to screw with us.) The gang escapes, Aang feels really sucky and snaps at Katara for not being there. She bites back. Aang realises that he might have been wrong about the whole love thing. We spend the next few episodes sorting out their emotional baggage interspersed with them running for their miserable lives from whatever forces the Fire Nation has left.
During this time, Charlie Brown and the Rock Loli stay close to each other as they can't stand the presence of their friends, IE Sokka and Suki being together and Aang still taken back by Katara's words. They grumble about how wrong love is and such and agree that love is not for them and that they shall never fall into the sick depraved pit called love. The fact that they agree on this is their first step together. Any more Taang moments will slowly work from there.
Done to death, I know.
