Rewatched the Sozin's Comet episodes. My god that was some fine TV. Possibly *the* outstanding conclusion to a television series that I have ever seen.

(B5 and Buffy had excellent final episodes, but weak final seasons; some of my favorite series like Firefly and Huge never concluded at all. Next Gen did a good job but wasn't an arc show, and also that was *eighteen years ago* and I haven't seen it (the finale) since, so who even knows.)

There's a sequel series airing in April, which I have such mixed feelings about - on the one hand it may well be *totally awesome*, on the other hand nonono it was perfect *stop there*.

I am not that excited about the new TV series, it looks like it might be more episodic and the main character seems annoying. But I do need to get my hands on the comic books: http://www.darkhorse.com/Books/18-604/Avatar-The-Last-Airbender-Volume-1-The-Promise-Part-1-TPB

I am reading those! Well, reading it, so far, I don't think we get part two until June or something. I'd be happy to lend you part one if you want - could give it to Chaos to give you at swapa or something. (Do need it back eventually, I don't think Josh has read it yet.)

The NextGen finale actually made much more sense to me as an adult than it did when I first watched it as a teenager -- it held up very well for me when I rewatched it a few months ago, better than many of the show's other episodes.

I, too, have super mixed feelings about the impending arrival of Korra! But I've been trying not to talk about them too much, as everyone else seems so excited and I don't want to be a killjoy. :/

Feel free to be negative in my journal, even if I turn out to love it! Until then we can be uncertainty buddies! (Have you been watching all the trailers and stuff? I've seen some art but haven't been watching video, but I might at some point, I'm not like dead-set on avoiding trailer spoilers or anything.)

Also that's neat about watching All Good Things as an adult.
