From the title, you can all guess that I watch yesterday's supposed finale for the series, Avatar: The Last Airbender. So, I decide to write up a review on this episode, but since I don't want spoil it for anyone, I am placing it in spoiler tag.
But I am getting ahead of myself here, let us begin with the beginning of the episode. The beginning had the normal funniness of the series with such things as picture of Ozai as a baby and Sokka's sand sculpture of Suki's face. I couldn't but laugh at those moments and other things like most of Toph's comments.
Of course, it start becoming more serious as it went along, since the final battles were seriously no joking matter. But that didn't stop the episode from being enjoyable to me as the action and Azula finally being push off the edge of what sanity that she had left made it quite an interesting episode.
I personally like the scene in which Azula saw her mother behind her as I really thought she return to see her get crowned, but it just serve to show ever more how her friends' betrayal had made her lose her edge and eventually slip away from just being paranoid to complete insanity. With that, I can say I am seriously disappoint in not find out where Zuko's mother is as if this is the end, then we are just left to wonder if she even still live or that Fire Lord was even willing to let his wife live, after staging him to get crowned as Fire Lord.
Another interesting scene that I like was Aang talking to his past lifes on what he should do against the Fire Lord as they all seen to tell him that killing Ozai was only way to win until he met with the Lion Turtle, who taught him a much more fitting punishment for Ozai; not being able to firebend no more. In my opinion, that way sounds more like what a true hero would do instead of descending to the level of the evil by killing them as they did others.
Out of pretty much all the scenes, Aang's and Ozai's battle was by far the best. At first, it seen that battle was in favor of Ozai as he brought down many of Aang's defends and even force Aang to retreat into a stone ball. Once the heal cut had been hit as Aang was blast from the stone ball, Aang had serious thrown the scale of who was going to win to his side as in the Avatar State, he pretty much owned Ozai to point in which he could of kill him; had it not been of Aang's value of life.
A few things that disappoint me was that we never heard the answer made by Zuko's father on his mother's location and that Koh was merely mention instead of explore some more, which make me wonder if this is truly the end as I doubt they just leave us hanging here. But hey, maybe I am wrong and just didn't have the time for that, so they didn't include it and left it for fans to think about. Overall it was a great episode, which make it sad that it is the end.
