OH GOD IT HAS FINALLY ARRIVED. In celebration of reaching the final episode of Avatar: The Last Airbender, let’s all have a giant party and watch all four parts of “Sozin’s Comet” at the same time. The Avatar liveblog WILL SURELY BE THE BEST PARTY YOU ATTEND ON THE INTERNET THIS MONTH.
I am legit sad this is ending. 🙁
(I know I am using images from the Invasion of the Black Sun, but that’s because I refuse to Google image search this episode. NO SPOILERS.)
The Avatar series finale liveblog will occur at 11:00am PDT on July 9th, 2011. Please consult a world clock to learn what time this is relative to you!
If this is your very first liveblog on Mark Watches, the rules are very simple. At precisely 11:ooam PDT, start your DVD/Netflix/other means copy of “Sozin’s Comet.” Use the comments as your own personal space to comment the hell out of the episode. Think of it as an online chat room of sorts! Except we are all unified in MIND-BLOWING AWESOMENESS.
ABOUT SYNCHING ISSUES: Only Netflix skips all three of the intros/’Previously On…’ segments. So in order to stay in sync, the lovely Echinodermata gave this simple way for us to keep on track!
We will be synching with the WHITE TITLE CARDS for this. So, at 11am, we’ll all press play from THIS screen, though obviously with the right card:
Given that each part is about 25 minutes long, here’s the schedule. At the time listed, we will press play from the white title card denoting that chapter, skipping the opening credits if you are not watching via Netflix:
Chapter 1: 11:00am PDT
Chapter 2: 11:30am PDT
Chapter 3: 12:00pm PDT
Chapter 4: 12:30pm PDT
This will allow 4-5 minutes of episode switching, potty breaks, tea gatherings, and foraging of potato babies.
I will post a review of the series finale on Monday, July 11th at my normal time. And then stuff will happen. You’ll see. For now, that’s the set schedule. (PS: I’ll post the details for the A Very Potter Sequel liveblog tomorrow morning. That takes place at the same time this upcoming Sunday!)
Happy watching! Can’t wait to party with all of you!
"You have a pretty strong scent".
this show is so good
Crying forever. This moment- favorite in the series. That hug…. the tears. <3's forever.

"You have a pretty strong scent."
I'M DYING OF LAUGHTER NOW.
THE ISLAND TOTALLY MOVES AROUND THE OCEAN.
LIKE A BOSS.
Tearbending, right here
AAAHHHH!!! What's happening to me. There's a strange liquid coming out of my eyes. Should I call an Ambulance?
GIVE ZUKO ALL THE HUGS. HE SHOULD NEVER HAVE TO CRY.
loving moment interrupted by a smelly Iroh joke. 😛
The line delivery of "I was never angry with you", I don't even, BRB BAWLING FOREVER
You remember yesterday when you asked what my favourite part was? Yeah. This. Right here. All the tears in the world FOREVER.
Bwuh? Moving island?
"I did lose my way"
"But you found it again."
T_T LOOOOOVE
And here we go.
Iroh's stinky feet save the day
Magic Island is actually a Magic Living Something! A big living something, WHAT ARE YOU?!
Aang's discussion with Yangchen is probably my favorite scene of the series. It tackles something quite incredible, especially considering KIDS' SHOW.
IT'S ALIIIIIIIIIIIIIIVE
IT'S ALIIIIIIIIIIIIVE
HOLY FUCK AANG IS RIDING GODZILLA.
or something.
*wibbles*
THE TURTLE MOVES

The Father Lord LOL
Poor Zuko – 'the Fatherlord.'
THE FATHERLORD
The Father Lord.
XD
The fathelord. Freudian slip, much?
Penislord?
The fatherlord, lol.
When I first watched this, I guess what the island was aggeeesss ago. Who's called it?
Had no clue. But in retrospect, there's been mentions of it.
I had NO IDEA
OH MY GOD I WANT TO SAY EVERYTHING BUT I CAN'T BECAUSE OH GOD THE ISLAND IS AN ANIMAL AND I WANT TO TELL YOU EVERYTHING GODDAMMIT MARK YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND SPOILLLLEEEERRRRSSS.
father lord lol
Fatherlord lololol
LAWL FATHERLORD
Father Lord!
fatherlord.
And a bunch of old men camping out in a phallus? Weird choice of campsite shape to be sure.
You mean, you have to find its gigantic face, that has a gigantic mouth that may want to eat you?
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
Father Lord, Zuko, I love your family issues to the ends of the earth. You've made so much progress, but slips happen.
FATHER LORD oh Zuko, you keep making me sadface today 🙁
Discworld time
Also FATHERLORD.
Iroh speaks truth
The fatherlord. I started cracking up the first time I heard that! Someone has daddy issues…
"A brother killing a brother to grab power."
Iroh, you are so wise!! You won't even become Fire Lord.
<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lj8mx3gagY1qi7y0xo1_500.png "/>
Yeah, you made a lot of mistakes, but you always acted with honor.
haha, fatherlord. Zuko's got issues still
Does anyone else really want to see Iroh with his brother?
HINT HINT
Freudian slip FTW
An idealist with a pure heart and unquestionable honor? WHO COULD THAT BE HM.
Iroh, you are all the wisdom forever.
Zuko, it's time to step up and take responsibility. And look: you even got your honor back!
HONORRRRRRRRR!
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH FIRE LORD ZUKO. I WOULD DIE.
he used the word "honor". who else would it be? 😛
Iroh wants Zuko to take the thrown. I swear there's just something in my eye.
"Someone new must take the throne. An idealist with a pure heart and unquestionable honor. It has to be you Zuko."
ALL THE HUGS AND TEARS.
Iroh is totally the best at pep talks.
Iroh's Honor Speech, makes me go D'aww every time!
down the cup for honor speech
Katara and Zuko, Aang's generals, going into battle together.
"History would just see it as more senseless violence." Oh my. *bites lips not to say anything*
ZUKO MUST BECOME FIRELORD !!! Oh god, such a beautiful moment…
Iroh had a vision of taking Ba Sing Se. That's why he laid siege to it.
Only you can prevent forest fires, Zuko.
(Oddly relevant.)
awwwww Zuko so cute
I WANT AN EEL HOUND.
This speech of Iroh's regarding the politics of unseating Ozai, his own aspirations, and the ultimate fate of the Fire Nation throne, is one of my most favorite things on this show.
This show is so fucking intelligent and thoughtful while having so much heart, and I LOVE IT.
Firelord Zuko AWWW YEAH!
"My destiny is to take it back"
Wouldn't the cynical world see the avatar as Zuko's friend, doing his bidding? I'm such a killjoy.
save everyone's honor, Zuko!
Oh Iroh… I love how you can see everything on such a grand perspective and not just for yourself. <3
YEAH, TAKE OUT AZULA!!!!
Zuko and Katara against Azula, yessssss
EELHOUND! That is the weirdest looking thing I have ever seen. o_o
IROH HAD A VISION ABOUT BA SING SE BUT ONLY NOW SEES ITS MEANING OH GOSH *flails all over*
Zutara trolling. They're doing it right.
aaaaaaahhhh zuko and Katara!!!
Y U PICK KATARA, ZUKO? 😉
Foreshadowing of Azula vs Katara/Zuko Battle= I CANT SIT STILL
Look at Zuko and Katara! They trust each other now! Go character development!
An idealist with unquestionable honour. ZUKOOOOO <3
"You restored your own honour" – <3
SET UP TIME
ZUKO AND KATARA FACING AZULA
AANG WITH WEIRD TURTLE THING
SOKKA TOPH AND SUKI AGAINST THE AIRSHIPS
so excited!
eel hound.
I wonder if I'm at the right place.
Team Avatar getting ready to kick ass!
Giant Eel Hound, WHAT
Katara would really like to kick some Azula-butt today.
Greg Baldwin does do a good Mako impression.
TAKING BA SING SE BACK FUCK YEAH. Redemption for everyone!
eel hound ftw!
GIANT EELHOUND HAHAHAHA
Iroh is going to take back Ba Sing Se?
Zuko and Katara confronting Azula?
Sokka, Suki and Toph stopping the airship fleet?
FUUUUUUUUUU- YES!
Um, we are sending three kids to take out the fleet. That should be enough, right? three kids, fleet of airships? Seems fair.
WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG?!
That's right, the fleet doesn't stand a chance.
This is basically the best plan ever.
NO POSSIBLE WAY THIS CAN FAIL OR ANYTHING.
I WAS SO SURPRISED WHEN ALL THREE OF THEM DIED.
BECAUSE THEY DO.
Three MASTER BENDERS. 🙂
I still can’t believe they gave Sokka heartbending in the last episode.
I WANT AN EELHOUND.
Siriusly, it would mean not having to walk everywhere.
FIRE/WATER TEAM UP. OMG TEAM AVATAR. ALSO WOLF ARMOR
I will never stop loving Sokka's wolf helmet.
Eelhound? Can I have one please?!
