I curse this show for reminding me that Heidi and Spencer exist.

Spaghetti's first song was better than Lizard's, but Lizard did better in the smack down. IMO, of course.

Here's a wild shot. Based on the "hit show" clue and the car in the clue package, I'm thinking Spaghetti & Meatballs might be Frankie Muniz.

I'm starting to think that this group is stacked. The only bad performance so far tonight was Robin's.

No, Jenny, the Hound can't be Brooke Hogan.
Brooke can almost sing. Whatever The Hound did wasn't anything close to singing.

My brother called at the worst possible time, so I wound up missing both Book's clue package and his performance.
Good thing I'm DVRing it....

Okay, unless the last two singers really suck, Starfish and Ugly Sweater are the bottom two.

And the flashback to the funeral of Lu Ten's was heartbreaking - also: they used 'Leaves from the Vine' for the score. Show made me teary-eyed for firebenders.
I don't think there's a single person who watched the original series that didn't tear up at the score in that scene.

I loved the changes they made to Sokka and Yue's love story. In the cartoon, you think "Of course Yue gets close to the cute new boy when her arranged marriage is to a jerk like Hahn," but this Hahn is lovely! He's a genuinely lovely man, and Yue still breaks off the engagement because she isn't in love with him. I like that so much better than cartoonish assholery.
Absolutely. In the cartoon, he just had a crush, and eventually won her over with his goofball charm. Here, they already had a connection that was made before our eyes without our even knowing about it. Really, my only quibble is that they didn't mention "doing an activity" together.

I admit, I only started watching the original show a couple of years ago. I work the night audit at a hotel, and after it reopened when the covid travel bans were lifted, business was still pretty slow for a while, so I needed to find something to watch to keep myself entertained during those quiet graveyard shifts. I heard good things about the original Avatar: TLA, and thought I'd check it out. I'm SO glad I did.
Anyway, one thing that bothered me from the beginning about the original was that Zuko's crew had been exiled along with him, even though, for all we knew, they had done nothing to deserve it. (Not that Zuko deserved it either, but you know what I mean.) The crew being the same unit that would've been sacrificed if Zuko hadn't spoken up in that meeting was a great twist that I honestly didn't see coming. So yeah, that's one point in favour of the live-action show. Kudos.
And we all knew that Zuko's face was burned in the agni kai, but Ozai burning Zuko's face after he'd already been defeated? That just adds an extra layer of dickishness to his personality. And he wonders why Zuko only sent him a card last Fathers Day....

I can see how a lot of fans of the original show can be upset at how pissed Bumi was, and that it was a real fight to the death, instead of just a test. But let's face it, it's a lot more realistic that a leader whose city was under siege for 100 years, and who lived through every single minute of it, would be much more hardened and battle-weary. Naturally, hed be more prone to give in to his despair, until Aang brought him back from the brink, and gave him back hope.
It was also a nice touch that Bumi made Aang's bison whistle.

One little detail I really liked was that Gran-Gran's note was written in Inuktitut, the language of the Inuit people. I live in Labrador, in northeast Canada, and there's a large Inuit population up here, so I see it around all the time. Even though I can't read a word of it, I still recognized it.
It's a little thing, but I thought it was a nice touch.

Not to mention that they had 100 years to hunt down any stray Air Nomads who might've been away from the temple that day, and a huge army more than up to the task.
