The Last Airbender

The Fortuneteller is a humorous episode that also has an interesting message about destiny. Is our destiny truly set? Can you really tell the future? If you're smart and read the signs (omens) and people correctly, most of the time you're right. In many cases, the truth is written all over our faces! However, we are all free to reshape our destiny if we so desire. What a great message for adults and kids alike! This cute episode is surprisingly enjoyable to watch. Let's get started here, but first of all, this fish is tripping me out: One of the more mature and interesting plot lines of Book 1 is the loss of Katara's necklace.

In my opinion, The Blue Spirit  is pretty overrated. It appears on many top-10 lists of best Avatar episodes, and most people would easily rate it in their top 20. At least that's what I've generally gathered from considerable time on forums and reddit.  Don't get me wrong, The Blue Spirit is a great episode, and in fact, I completely understand why people would rate it so highly.   But in reality, when you match it against the best of Books 2-3, it's nowhere close to top-10 worthy. That aside, there's a lot to love here, so let's dive in! The cinematography in this episode is noteworthy, especially for Book 1. Take this scene, for example. The first shot of the Blue Spirit gives him a mysterious and stealthy aura. The music goes a long way to bolster this: Sick day with Appa. I appreciate the continuity here; because  The Storm  was the last episode, Sokka and Katara are coming down with a fever from the cold ocean. "Take that, you rock ."
