It was a filter episode. But I still liked it. We really don't need another episode for Katara. We got one in the first season with "imprisoned" But now that I realize it this one was like "Zuko alone" except with Katara. lol! dang these crazy Zutara thoughts

Sokka and his scedual was hilarious. "Oh! I know, we can have our potty breaks and food breaks at the same time! XD
Also, the whole 8-minute solar ecpilse explains why we see bits of the trailer during the battle in full sunlight . . .

How can you guys consider this episode "just a filler?" There is some significant information here: 1.) The eclipse lasts for 8 minutes 2.) Katara "will never, ever turn [her] back on people who need [her]." 3.) More Kataang is seen here. 4.) Katara revealed herself as a Waterbender, and Toph and Aang revealed themselves as Benders as well. 5.) There is "much to do" before the invasion begins, which seems to be only a matter of weeks, maybe even days. 6.) The Fire Nation does not care for others (we already knew that, but it is explained even further in this episode). I disagree with you on points 3, 4, and 6, but only because those are inferences, not observations. =P i.e., from what was shown you concluded those things; but others may not have seen the same thing. I mean, were Toph and Aang revealed as benders? (I did see the episode, yes) They bended, sure, but I thought Katara was the only one the people saw bend in plain sight. =P Also, the idea that the Fire Nation does not care for others is a bit biased, I think a truer statement would be that some people in the Fire Nation do not care for others. =P And who's to say they weren't raised like that? That they never cared? Also, IMO, the fact that more Kataang was shown is an inference, though their friendship was definitely shown.Sorry if I sound like I'm trying to debate/argue here; just expressing some of my opinions. XD (Promoting good discussion~)

omg Dock and Shou just made me rofl all over and then at the end when he just whips out different hats "I DON'T JUST CHANGE HATS! (Though my brother Dock does, he's kinda crazy." not exact quote but close enough XD I just fell off my couch laughing at that i thought he was annoying and wasn't funny. i would have been better if he really had twin brothers. Exactly. That would have been funny if they played it right. ^Yeah they bended when they cleaned up the river, so it wasn't then it was after the fact when the village found out they were benders as well.

IMHO, maybe these people might help them in the invasion. I wouldn't be suprise if the FN students Aang met helped them in the end. Agh *imagines some sort of HP7 scene* The episode was okay, not great. Atleast we know how long an eclipse will last. And the new FN villain looked like Zhao, and he really let himself go during the wait XD

I never knew Sokka was so good at the flute. I wonder were he learned it?

They were all outed and considering how I've been saying it I'll say it again. Though they are in a FN Village they show that not all of the FN have the mentality that most of the military or other people have. They promised to keep her a secret which means a lot considering how the Water Tribe/Earth Kingdom/Avatar are supposedly their worst enemies.
Wait did anyone realize Aang was the Avatar? If they realized Katara was waterbending shouldn't they have realized that she was being airbended at some point?

Going along with the Zuko similarities and the whole shunning thing; I found it a little bit weird that after Sokka saying a few heart-felt lines they immediately found it okay; I mean, you were all shunning her and mad at her a second ago and a few words changed your mind and now you're oh so grateful to her? Not that they shouldn't be; but the reaction wasn't characterized completely properly in my opinion. =P This is why so many prefer Zuko's storylines to the gAang's; most of the time, the storylines involving Zuko are more realistic and complex. Things aren't patched up at the end of the episode with a nice speech to a crowd or the sight of a baby. In season 2, it seemed like every episode propelled you forward in the plot in at least some small way. After three episodes, I kind of feel like season 3 is regressing into season 1. Maybe I'm being too harsh... I hope that changes.

Also, IMO, the fact that more Kataang was shown is an inference, though their friendship was definitely shown.Well, Toph and Aang were bending, therefore revealing that they were Benders.Sorry if I sound like I'm trying to debate/argue here; just expressing some of my opinions. XD (Promoting good discussion~) As for Point III, I think there is more Kataang. I can call them innuendos, but there is some evidence that there is a stronger relationship between the two in this episode, as seen in certain sayings, such as "You're pretty for a spirit." Though Aang didn't know who it was, plus, Aang said she looked very familiar, also, the idea that he supported Katara's decision to help the people of the village is another example. I could say more, but I want more perspective from you guys for productive discussion. Stinkypinky: I never stated that they knew Aang was the Avatar. I said they knew that he was a Bender.

If they realized Katara was waterbending shouldn't they have realized that she was being airbended at some point? It's because of the magic plotholes of doom. They're caused by pollution from FN factories. It's why Season Three took so long, M and B had to stop and clean up a bunch of towns.

XD Nice.
But as I said above, wouldn't they have realized with their keen observation skills that Aang was bending air? Things Katara was doing could not be done by waterbenders

Things Katara was doing could not be done by waterbenders Like I said, they WOULD have if this eppie made any sense. Which it did not. The only other reason is that the villagers could be incredibly stupid which, judging by their determination to stay in a polluted fishing village without making any effort to clean it up, is a pretty good guess.

Don't forget they've never seen Airbenders/Airbending, so it's not like they know what to look for. Also, people in a backwater town like that might not even know much about the Avatar.
