On this episode of the podcast our hosts Cody, Tierra, and Tim take an in depth look at the eighth episode of the first season of Avatar: The Last Airbender. They talk about the importance of overcoming cultural differences with the goal of friendship in mind and the shame and regret that we can feel from inaction. They also discuss a wide variety of other subject matter including: how the continuity exhibited by the show writers is truly masterful, Sokka and Katara showing us some true ride or die behaviour, how sometimes we even surprise ourselves with our abilities, how cunning can come in many different forms, an in depth discussion of sub elements and how they fir in with the four bending styles, the distortions of belief over the passage of time, the balance between friendship and duty, how doing the right thing isn’t always going to be rewarded, the archetype of the betrayer, how trust is very different from obedience, learning how to work together, tension as a narrative device, and why is everything in the fire nation so pointy?
