OMG OMG OMG!!! How amazing was that eppy?! I was kind of bummed that it was only 30 min... considering that the 1st season's premiere and finale was an hour long... OK WE HAVE SOOOO MUCH TO DISCUSS!!!!
First off: That general from the earth nation was out of his mind!!! He was completely crazy! I mean who freakin pretends to kill someone Aang cares for just to trigger his avatar state? He was definetly some kind of lunatic... I mean the second Aang was like, "My avatar state won't trigger unless I'm in genuine danger..." and then the general is like, "I was afraid you'd say that", I knew he was going to pull something insane!
Second: Azula is pure evil!!! She knows how sensitive that subject is with Zuko, HOW DARE SHE TRICK HIM!!! *stabs azula doll* Anyways, Zuko was so mood swingish, he was like depressed and then like totally happy then back to being upset again... AZULA IS A BEAST! SHE TRIED TO KILL ZUKO RIGHT THERE ON THE SPOT WITH HER LIGHTNING BEAMS AND IF IROH HADNT OF BEEN THERE ZUKO WOULD HAVE DIED!!!! I know Zuko is really powerful and strong and all, but he is going to sooo need to step up in training... Azula only had 2 hits while Zuko was like doing thousands of moves...
Third: At the very end... when Zuko and Iroh cut off their ponytails... I was kind of confused. If you have ever seen Shanghai Noon, then that shows they can never go back to the Fire Nation again or be loyal towards their nation, or since they are being hunted now, they are trying to change their identity...
Sorry for being so long to read, but please give us your thoughts!

Thank you for explaining the pony tail thing to me, I didn't really understand it! Did you notice that they all got make overs? I have to say, Sokka looked pretty smexy! I know that's weird to hear on a site controlled by Zuko-fangirls, but I have freedom of speech! So HA!!! (sorry, I just had some of that energy enhancing tea) But really, I think Zuko should wear pink more! It looks really good on him! Azula, how can you get worse than her!!! It's really kinda scary... www.avatarspirit.net/files/video_clips/2x02%20Trailer.wmv That's a link for the trailer for the next new eppie! YAI!!!

Cutting off their topknots was a symbol of disownment -- in fuedal Japan, it was a real thing. I thought it was one of the best things about that episode. Very powerful. It basically says that they don't even want to go back any more...
o.o You'd have to know a bit about the Japanese culture to really realize the poignancy of that scene...

Without his ponytail, he looks kind of funny.*Dodges crazy fangirl tomatos*
I knew what Zula was up to anyway and I am amazed she can harvest lighting....
But yes, it was a sad episode for me. It makes me want to write fanfiction again!

Woot! Totally awesome! I can't wait for the next one. But the symbolism is definitely there. In that culture, if a person knows they've either committed treason or if they have brought extreme dishonor to their family, they have to kill themselves. But cutting off theit ponytails meant that they are no longer affiliated with the Fire nation. Kinda like a graduation ceremony. I'm so proud of Zuko! ^^*begins to cry* lol, jk.

No, he didn't. I just rewatched it, and I read an article where it was confirmed the other day. It's Azula.

Yep, it's Azula.... Anywho, my thoughts on the ep. Sokka looks way better with his hair down....but I am still a "Zuzu" fangirl ^^ Zuzu...that's just great....and he doesn't like it either....*squeal* Azula rocks. Her name sucks, but she rocks. Not nearly so much as Iroh or Zuzu, and I don't like her giving Zuko that false hope, but she still rocks. Iroh is smart. But we always knew that. ZUZU!!!! Poor, poor Zuzu...thought he was goin' home...How dare Azula give him that false hope..... Why can Azula and Iroh....lightening-bend, and Zuzu can't? What's with that?? The whole her being able to do that annoyed me...to no end...and still does...... Aang...is Aang.....and Katara is Katara.......Sokka's got some arm muscles...who knew? Overall, great episode. Not the greatest, 'cause maybe with the exception of the Zuko Alone ep, or the season finale of season 2, no episode can beat the exceptional awesomeness of The Siege of the North. Zuzu's progressing to the good side.....no longer with the bad, not yet with the good.........but he's gettin' there ~.^ Oh, yeah, and the whole Zuko cuttin' off his hair at the end thing. www.deviantart.com/view/30566391/My reaction was a mixture between the second and third fangirl's....
