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!
Azula, do not kick Zuzu when he is already down.
Katara, love your tricky mind with the whole waterbending + chains thing.
Also, Matrix pause button. I love it.
THAT MOVE KATARA PULLS
AWESOMEST THING EVER OH MY GOD!!!
KATARA IS A FUCKING MASTER YA'LL
KATARA. YOU KICK SO MUCH ASS. THAT WAS FUCKING BRILLIANT. YOU JUST BEAT GODDAMNED AZULA.
KATARA
YOU ARE A GENIUS OMG
Go Katara!
Nice one Katara! YOU GO!
KATARA HOW ARE YOU SO BADASS
HOW
TELL ME YOUR SECRETS
HOLY SHIT FROZEN
SUCH CONTROL
KATARA YOU ARE UNBELIEVABLE
Since when can Katara do THAT?!
Since she's so awesome. 🙂
A very acceptable answer! 😀
Ice, ice, baby…
FUCK
YEAH
KATARA
FUCK
YEAH
KATARA
FUCK
YEAH
KATARA
FUCK
YEAH
KATARA
Ha! Lightning Bend now bitch! Oh wait, you'll electrocute yourself! that's right, waterbending beats lightning.
"Filthy peasant" this, Azula!
calling Katara a peasant is never a good idea
KATARA, WHEN I GROW UP I WANT TO BE YOU
Katara just tottally own Azula and it's so amazing and then Azula proceeds to make me feel so sorry for her. </3
Here it is. This is probably my second most favorite scene: Azula's complete downfall.
And the coolest bit of waterbending we've seen like ever. Katara saves Zuko!
OH, AZULA :[
ZUKO HAS A SCAR TO MATCH AANG'S.
What…
She froze them, and then she was able to move?
Katara… what a BAMF
The water's not frozen, it's held in place. Kind of like when she stopped the rain.
The water's only partially frozen. Katara liquefied the water around her so she could move while still keeping Azula trapped.
KATARA. SOMETIMES I DO NOT EXPRESS IT ADEQUATELY, BUT I REALLY DO LOVE YOU.
YESYESYES 😀
HI KATARA YOU'RE AWESOME PLEASE KEEP BEING AMAZING FOREVER KTHNXBAI
I actually feel a bit sad for Azula, she has completely broken down after her defeat by Katara, and it's a bit hard to watch.
PHEW ! Zuko is alright…but I feel so sorry for Azula
Katara ftw!
Great job Katara! Way to kick Azula's ass. Now we see the complete unraveling of Azula's mind.
p.s Grey de Lisle, you are amazing
Zutara shippers go wild! 😀 😀 😀
poor Azula. D:
You know, Azula totally could have escaped that chain….she still had her feet free….wtf….
"Thank you Katara."
BEST LINE OF DIALOUGE EVER UTTERED BY ZUKO, Y/Y???
WHAT IS THIS, I DONT EVEN!
Poor Azula. After all she's done, I still always want to cry seeing how miserable she is.
Despite the evil, I feel legitimately bad for Azula at this point.
Seeing Azula like that is so painful to watch D:
Aww, Azula ;_;
WELL THAT WAS DISTURBING
And all the shippers exploded…but my poor heart just broke for Azula. The voice acting. The CRYS! Oh Grey Delisle, why so wonderful?
Basically: OMGOMGOMG
ZUKO!!! AND AZULA WONT LET KATARA HEAL HIM AND OMG AND DID I MENTION OMG
KATARA!!!!!
SO MY FAVOURITE CHARACTERS FACE OFF AND KATARA IS BRILLIANT AND AWESOME AND SUBDUES AZULA BUT IT'S STILL TRAGIC BECAUSE AZULA'S HAVING A BREAKDOWN AND OMG
YES FREEZING THE WATER AND CHAINING GO KATARA!
NOW GO HEAL ZUKO SO EVERYTHING CAN BE ALL RAINBOWS AND DAISIES OKAY???
AND THIS SCENE IS BEAUTIFUL! The healing and he's okay and I SHOULD BE THANKING YOU AND
AZULAAAAAAA!!! The tragedy here and Zuko and Katara look on as Azula is crying and breathing fire and OMG SO MANY EMOTIONS AND THINGS AND OMG
Well, that fight had one hell of a depressing ending.
Oh, Azula. This part just breaks my heart; every time.
<img src="http://i51.tinypic.com/2vlsk0w.gif">
Best moment in the show. And thus ends my favorite part of Avatar: Azula getting beat.
I feel sorry for Azula, I really really do
Me too.
Zuko and Katara feel sorry for Azula, and she was trying to kill them minutes ago. No shame in how you're feeling.
She goes from incredibly powerful to pathetic and broken. It really is sad. She's such a strong character who falls so far.
It really is cool how they made the downfall of a dastardly villain actually feel tragic.
This is truth.
Paraphrasing Frodo: "But now that I see her, I do pity her."
Azula is finished.
….Azula just gets scarier when defeated… I'm not sure how that works.
THIS ISN'T FAIR, MY HARD DRIVE WON'T WORK, I CAN'T GET AVATAR!!!!!!!!!!
ZUTARA <3 I STILL WANT IT. WUT?
Baibai Azula…
Azula lashing out and breaking down in tears is just beyond sad 🙁
i actually feel bad for azula 🙁
Azula's gone mad!!!
Why am I feeling sad for Azula?
WHY AM I FEELING SAD FOR AZULA OH GOD WHAT
oh god Azula's breakdown
its so hard to watch
Azulaaaa ;_;
Azula crying and raving.
My heart breaking.
I love Katara's face here: "Ummmm…zuko? About your sister…" "Yeah katara, I know."
Azulas final display is kind of sad. with the childish crying and breathing of fire.
Aww, I'm tearing up. I love them as friends
Iroh breathes fire, but Azula breathes lighting. I'm not entirely sure which is more frightening/awe-inspiring.
That shot of Azula writhing on the ground, fire spouting from her mouth, screaming in mental anguish, has got to be one of the best damn moments of not only this entire series, but on television PERIOD.
Indeed. It's my favorite. Either that or the mother hallucination.
Oh Azula. I'm so sorry. I can't hate you. I just pity you. Whatever part of you that was left as an individual has just been burned away by Ozai's machinations.
Full control of Avatar state is BEAUTIFUL!
i know it's not that simple, but oh azula.
<img src="http://img839.imageshack.us/img839/6422/1273573406768.jpg">
i wish i could give you a hug
…once you're done breathing fire
;_;
oh man
my creys are endless
*wibbles*
🙁
There's also this picture but I dunno how to put it in my comment… but I can post the link! If someone knows how to post it, please do…

ZUKO NEEDS TO GO FIND MOMMY FOR HIS LITTLE SISTER'S SAKE NOW
ITS OK AZULA MUMMY STILL LOVES U ….OH WAIT
Aang and his ball of doom scare me.
THIS OZAI-AANG BATTLE IS NOW AN EPIC CURBSTOMP.
Azula's voice actress deserves a fucking Emmy for that scene. For serious.
I almost feel sorry for Ozai here. He's so utterly out of his depth now.
And I feel awful for Azula…but my feelings about that are really complicated.
I use my turn to feel sorry for Azula. 🙁
Community reference, FTW!
awww Community.
They are wrecking the scenery, you know that?
Poor Azula.
*stars in eyes*
Oh my baby Aang. How you've grown.
Aang just tore apart a rock with AIR. Imagine if that had hit Ozai?
You done pissed off the AVATAR son! You in for it now!
I love how Ozai looks like the comet itself when he firebend-flies.
OH GOD. OH GOD THIS IS IT.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
AANG WILL WREAK YOUR SHIT
Azula thrashing and spewing fire and then whimpering will never not get to me. 🙁
This. ;_:
Run Ozai, run. Not that it'll do you much good…
Did Aang just WEATHER A WHOLE PILLAR OF ROCK USING ONLY WIND?! Ozai, you messed with the wrong kid.
UGH, AVATAR STATE VOICE OF LEGION IS DO NOT WANT KTHANX.
AGH ROOMMATES STOP TRYING TO TALK TO ME NOW IS NOT THE TIME
AUGH YOU TOO? SHUT UP ROOMMATES, SHUT UP
Hahah he's just flinging Ozai around like a rag doll.
THIS SCENE FIGHT WITH OZAI!!
SO MUCH BENDING AND AWESOME AND KICK HIS ASS AANG!!! But don't actually kill him because that'll break your heart and make you sad and Aang shouldn't be sad =(
WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN OMG!!!
AVATAR STATE VOICE!
WATERWHIP HIS ASS, AANG.
Katara healing Zuko is so… I really think in many ways it represents part of the balance returning.
Scary voice!
THAT LINE FROM AANG IN THE AVATAR STATE VOICE IS JUST SO AWESOME
Here it comes…
Avatar Slice?
Avatar voice is scary.
HELL YEAH, AANG, YOU GOT HIM ON THE RUN
stares at Aang
EEP!
AANG IS SUCH A TERMINATOR RIGHT HERE D:

Aang is one scary 12 year old
