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!
I am so excited for you!!!!
And speaking about the Day of Black Sun, this was the trailer we were treated to before Book 3 began up and covers up until said Unpleasant Day for the Fire Nation.

whoa. a very potter sequel liveblog?
great scott, i've been gone too long…
mark will you please use your harry potter wizard powers to make more avatar after the last episode? maybe just one more season of zuko and team avatar engaging in hijinks? you've done a lot for the internet, but maybe you would also consider doing this?
apparently i can only speak in questions?
i think that's ok? i will try?
Awww… I'm busy at that time… It would be totally awesome if you wrote something up with your thoughts as well for those of us that can't watch it with you.
I agree with this! I missed the Golden Compass movie liveblog and I was disappointed there wasn't a full post on it.
"I will post a review of the series finale on Monday, July 11th at my normal time."
Haha ohhhh reading comprehension. It's a wonder I made it through the SAT at all… The fact that I ended up teaching classes on it makes it worse! 😛
Excite! I'll be there, commenting away.
How is it almost the end already? I mean, I'm supes excite to get to BSG, but … we just started Avatar, didn't we? Damn.
I think I'm the only one who's excited to get THROUGH BSG so we can get on to the REAL awesomeness… Mark Watches Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
I mean, don't get me wrong, I love BSG. But Buffy is my favorite tv show of all time. OF ALL TIME.
Nope. Not the only one! Although to be fair, I haven't seen BSG yet, and I'm fully expecting it to be awesome. Just not Buffy-level awesome. Few things are.
This, basically. I loves me some BSG (I can neither confirm nor deny whether I more-than-frequently insert 'frak' into conversations), but Buffy is a television milestone. Words cannot express.
I will probably mourn because I don't want to watch BSG and I haven't watched it before either.
Oh, BSG is an amazing show. I would definitely consider it required viewing for sci-fi geeks. Whereas Buffy should be required viewing for all citizens of Earth.
I second AccioDeathlyHallows motion. All in favor?
I wonder if we'll break Netflix.
Oh god I didn't think of that. It already uses more bandwidth than any other website in America.
D:
I will be at the most magical place on earth at the time, but I really hope that you will do a recap post as well!
OH GOD OH GOD OH GOD OH GOD I CAN HAZ BSG SOONZ?
Why no, I have not been counting down the days, why ever would you think that?
I HAVE UPDATED THE POST.
Now we can all make sure we are synced up!
YOU ARE NOT PREPARED YOU ARE NOT PREPARED YOU ARE NOT PREPARED YOU ARE NOT PREPARED YOU ARE NOT PREPARED YOU ARE NOT PREPARED YOU ARE NOT PREPARED YOU ARE NOT PREPARED YOU ARE NOT PREPARED YOU ARE NOT PREPARED YOU ARE NOT PREPARED YOU ARE NOT PREPARED YOU ARE NOT PREPARED YOU ARE NOT PREPARED YOU ARE NOT PREPARED YOU ARE NOT PREPARED YOU ARE NOT PREPARED YOU ARE NOT PREPARED YOU ARE NOT PREPARED YOU ARE NOT PREPARED YOU ARE NOT PREPARED YOU ARE NOT PREPARED YOU ARE NOT PREPARED YOU ARE NOT PREPARED YOU ARE NOT PREPARED YOU ARE NOT PREPARED YOU ARE NOT PREPARED YOU ARE NOT PREPARED YOU ARE NOT PREPARED YOU ARE NOT PREPARED YOU ARE NOT PREPARED YOU ARE NOT PREPARED YOU ARE NOT PREPARED
YAY!
AW CRAP. I'm hosting a party on the 9th! Unfortunately, it is not an Avatar party. Have fun everyone!
I live in Illinois, so this starts at 9am for me. Thing is, I was going to work on Saturday, but now I have to come up with an excuse as to why I can't come in until noon.
Erm, aren't you counting in the wrong direction? 11 AM Pacific is 1 PM Central.
You know, I even lived in Oakland for three years while all my friends and family were still back in Illinois, so you'd think that would be the one time zone I'd remember how to convert. Apparently not.
Mark… I don't want this to end. I get excited when I come home from work because that means there will be a new review up. Now, without discussing this amazing, golden, perfect show… I don't even want to think about it.
Can't you… just start over from Season 1 again and write rewatch reviews? 🙂
(I suppose that that wouldn't be quite as fun. The joy was reading your fresh new experiences)
I suppose…
All good things come to an end…
But at least we can savor it–cherish it–for as long as we can.
I want to call in sick for this 🙁
That's 3:30am for me so no thank you. I live in Australia and we were so behind with Avatar that I watched a live stream of the finale. Someone I think pointed their video camera at the TV screen and the whole thing was very saturated. Or maybe it was only saturated when I watched the episode before the finale live because I specifically remember whenever characters went into light I couldnt see them for shit.
So I was watching the finale around midday when everyone in the US was watching it at night. And I was with my girlfriend at the time who loves the show. It was the final day of holidays before going back to school I think. So it was fair cool. But it cut out once or twice!!
Hell yeah! TOTALLY GOING TO PARTICIPATE, DON'T CARE WHAT HAPPENS.
Wait a second.
Aren't there six episodes left?
the southern raiders, the ember island players and the four parts of sozins comet?
Ah. nevermind didn't read the post properly.
What are you doing?! Southern Raiders and Ember Island Players aren't part of the finale! Shouldn't you do reviews for those episodes 1st?!
I won't spoil them at all, but I'd say those 2 deserve full reviews before you get to the real deal.
Oh god, I skimmed that line. SO sorry. I'm a dumbass >.<
I'm being moronic, but I can't see the line you're talking about.
"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"
So SR and EIP go up at normal times and days, and Saturday we liveblog the four-part finale.
I second this emotion, Mark. The series finale is a four parter. Maybe you meant to Find the Sozin's Comet Part 1 title card. Souther Raiders and Ember Island Players are their own episodes.
But, Mark, you are going to liveblog the TLA movie eventually, aren't you?
…aren't you? 🙁
If you want his brain broken worse than My Immortal did.
Don't do it Mark! I like you! You don't need to watch TLA! It's horrible!
Yeah, of course it's horrible – but it's also fun to make fun of it! 😀
Thats the whole reason my friends and I saw it in theaters. We knew it sucked ahead of time
Haha I routinely watch horrible movies for the fun of it, but that one makes me cringe. It's barely even funny to me… and I only watched it with the Rifftrax to help me out.
Now if we wanna liveblog bad movies, I would suggest Gymkata. That's a great one.
Exactly. When I do it–and I will–I will strongly push for everyone to watch with the Rifftrax alongside. That's what I'm going to do.
The Rifftrax is literally the only thing about that movie that was done right.
Where can you get the Rifftrax version
Try Rifftrax.com. 😉
I couldn't finish it, even with the Rifftrax, so good luck, you're going to need it 🙂 Everything you heard, it's even worse, I swear.
I'll… try to do it with you. I'll try.
OMG, Mark I am so excited for you! I really hope you end up doing "Avatar: The Legend Of Korra" in 2012!
After this series how could any of us not?
VERY TORN. Don't watch Avatar, been following the posts though and feel like liveblogging..
WAT DO?
Wat do? Watch Avatar, that do.
Watch avatar; you won't regret it. Problem solved. 😉
DO EET.
Avatar is my favorite show of all time. I can't remember loving any other show to the point of rewatching episodes over and over again! Can you please watch Gan Xingba's abridged series after you're done? It's very funny!
Hmm, I've never seen Battlestar Galactica (that's what BSG stands for, right?) and I've heard it's quite good…I just have no way of acquiring the episodes for free legally. Have to check my libraries' DVD collections
It's available streaming on Netflix.
He should watch the Avatar puppet videos by kornersphere. They're like the Potter Puppet Pals.
Totally sad this is going to be over soon 🙁
However, so totally excited for Saturday! My kids and I will be (re)watching along with you. Woohoo!
[And I second the motion for you to watch Korra along with us when it starts next year. If it is even a fraction as epic as this series, we will not be disappointed 🙂 ]
Mark Watches Avatar is ending already 🙁
This cannot be. There must be other factors.
Sorry. However, you can console yourself with the possibility of Mark Watches: Korra.
WHICH I WILL DO IN REAL TIME, FYI.
<img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lmnu3hJJSE1qiw26m.gif "/>
YOU DON'T HAVE ANY!
I think I'll be able to make it to this one! Finally! All past attempts at live blogging on this site have been rife with failure for me…but this time its a Saturday, and my birthday! What an awesome present.
Happy birthday!
I AM SO EXCITED FOR YOU. And for me. Reliving Avatar through your experience has been utterly sublime for me. Never doubt the joy you bring to fans, Mark! *hugs*
I am so pumped for the liveblog on Saturday! I am going to make popcorn for this occasion!
Fear not followers. Mark will continue with the spin-off series of Avatar right? Enjoy it as the rest of us do with a week between each episode?
Right?
Yes! I will!
This is assuming that Nickelodeon doesn't massively fuck up the episode schedules like they did for Season 2 and 3. I'm not actually sure it's possible for them to air 26 episodes week-to-week. :/
Also. If they make action figures for Korra, Korra had damn well better be included! (For those not in the know, they made action figures for Avatar, but ONLY with Season 1 costumes, and despite multiple versions of Aang and Zuko, and even random FN soldiers and King Bumi, Katara never got a figure. D<)
So people that won't be there for the Sozin's Comet liveblog will still get to read what you think? Thank God!!! But will you ever be posting a whole review for AVPM and AVPS too? Because I missed the first musical's liveblog and I think that I might miss the sequels' too. *criesforever* Please, please, please post two whole reviews for the Starkid musicals. I would love to be able to read what you think of them even if I can't liveblog with you.
Well, he already reviewed the first one – here's hoping we'll get some thoughts on the sequel too!
(And omg OT – I am so blown away that Darren Criss and Joe Walker were at the Harry Potter Premiere today. FANDOM HAS ASCENDED.)
Yes, I will def post review of it. 🙂
Here's a question: Do you plan to post your thoughts on the Golden Compass movie? Just curious.
oh christ I FORGOT. UM
I PROBS WILL
Yay! Thank you.
That movie is just so forgettable, you forgot to review it!
Is that the one where James Bond is their dad and Magneto's an alcoholic bear?
That movie is so weird.
Oh my god we're so close to the end of it all!
I just…I've had so much fun watching Avatar and I don't want it to end but I just love BSG SO FRAKKING MUCH that a part of me can't wait until we start that and…
I HAVE SO MANY EMOTIONS. My future is all Mark Doing Stuff and it's all Stuff that I love deeply. Everything is beautiful and nothing hurts. Thank you so much Mark! And everyone!
<img src="http://i54.tinypic.com/j0bpr9.gif" border="0" alt="Image and video hosting by TinyPic">
VIR AND LENNIER HUGGING. Oh, God, my heart is so full right now.
Mark Watches Babylon 5 is my beautiful, probably never-to-be-realised, dream.
Also, this is one of my favourite gifs of all time. 😀
It is beautiful, and I thank you forever for sharing it.
Mark Watches B5 would truly be glorious. Has it been recommended? I'll add my vote!
I'm not sure I understand all the instructions but I am going to TRY MY DAMNEDEST to participate.
I'll do my best to make this clearer.
So people watching on DVDs or computer video files have each part as separate episodes. That means each part has it's own opening credits, previously on, and closing credits. People watching on Netflix will get one continuous play session that skips those credits and previouslies, where each part is only separated by the white title cards.
To get everyone synched, the plan is that everyone skips the credits and previsiouslies. To make sure we start at the same place, the white title cards are what everyone will synch to. Everyone IN ADVANCE finds the first (part 1 of finale) white title card, then PAUSES. At 11 PDT, everyone presses play.
When people watching on Netflix get to the second part, they pause on the white title card and get a few minutes to do whatever. Meanwhile, people watching on DVDS/video files have to change episodes and again, in advance find the white title card (skipping the opening). Just before 11:30, everyone should have the video paused on the second title card, then at 11:30 everyone presses play.
And so on.
GODDANGIT I'm working that morning! Oh well, nothing ever happens saturday mornings around my workplace, maybe I can pull it up on netflix.com and watch along that way.
Here's a handy map for those of us in the US:
<img src="http://i.imgur.com/lLTgV.png" alt="" title="Hosted by imgur.com" />
continental US
😛
i live in arizona. we are freaks. 🙁
You have your own map color! You're special, not freaks.
So I could have posted this ages ago, as it's entirely non-spoilery apart from uh, Zhao existing and the Firelord's throne room? But I forgot it existed.
But this occasion clearly calls for a Zuko dance.
[youtube AYOyyWN2xBM http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AYOyyWN2xBM youtube]
Oh dear god, Zuko slam dancing is the greatest thing ever. 😀
How did I forget this existed?! God, the pchoo pchoo pchoo sound effects…I love this so hard.
I just thought of a very important question! (Which has probably already been answered somewhere… at some time… i don't know.)
MARK! When and how are you gonna post your reactions to the last Harry Potter movie? I NEED TO KNOW.
<img src="http://i.imgur.com/p3P7P.png" alt="" title="Hosted by imgur.com" />
I give you the highest of fives for utilizing this picture
Wait, do you mean the last one I watched or the ACTUAL last one?I'll write a review to post for Fri/Sat next week after I watch Deathly Hallows, if that's what you mean.
Cool, yeah. I was wondering about the one coming out next week. I am looking forward to it!
ALSO I WORSHIP HYPERBOLE AND A HALF.
Woot! I am SO THERE for this. :DDD
Since you mentioned the Harry Potter thing is going to be Sunday, I assume that means the liveblog of the Last Failbender is going to be occurring at some other time? I don't object by any means– watching that movie after the epic finale would just be all the more painful. But I am curious to see your reactions to it.
HURR, I'M SO EXCITE. <333
Fuck yeah!! Excited!
<img src="http://xtremespeeds.net/images/smilies/Kermit_Spaz.gif">
NOOOOO I'll be at work. 🙁 SADNESS FOREVER.
Even so, MARK YOU ARE SO UNPREPARED.
I shall be there, DVDs and all, to be one of what I'm sure will be many representatives of AvatarSpirit.net.
Question: Do you want to get up at 5am on Sunday morning to participate?
Answer: Heck yes I do!
Question: Will you though?
Answer: I don’t know… I kinda really Really love sleeping… Maybe I can sleep post?
I may or may not have a job interview going on at the time, but I will try my darnedest to get to the awesomesauce live blog as soon as I can!
Oh Mark, I can't tell you how excited I am that my first liveblogs will be watching Sozin's Comet AND AVPS on the same day! I wish I was watching Sozin's Comet for the first time, but I couldn't wait to watch it :S But I have been itching for a rewatch
Mark, you cannot comprehend how unready you are for the finale.
You thought you were unprepared before?
That is nothing compared to how unprepared you are right now.
I don't know if I'll be home for that.
On a side note, did you hear about Legend of Korra?
Gah, for me that time is 4 am the next day XD I'm going to try to be there though!
I AM SO STOKED FOR TOMORROW
SPOILERS!
Do not watch until after you've watched the finale!
"The making of Avatar: The Last Airbender"
A 30 minute long documentary on the show, and the people who made it possible.

Could someone fix the videos?
MARK! DON'T WATCH THE THIRD PART OF THIS! IT'S MEGA-SUPER-SPOILERY!
However, it is awesome.
This is to say, the first and second parts are fine, as far as I can tell.
I'd fix it if I could, but from my own observations, intensedebate can't seem to handle multiple embedded youtube videos in one comment without making them all the same video. I assume it's a bug, and not something you did, it that makes you feel better.
This was beautiful.
Thank you so much for linking to these videos! I had no idea about the documentary, but seeing the people behind one of my favorite TV shows (no animated or children's qualifier) of all time gives me the same kind of warm fuzzies as when I watch the crew specials on the Lord of the Rings DVDs. 😀
AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHRGGGRGHGHRHGHGHHHH IT'S SATURDAY AND IT HASN'T STARTED YET BUT I' AM SO EXCITE.

Have fun you guys!!! It's the liveblog I've been anticipating the most, and yet, I have to work during the last hour of it. I'll be around for the first hour…. but hope you guys have fun during the the last two parts 🙂
Oh damn. I got my timezones mixed up and I missed it!
It's tomorrow…
As of this writing, it won't start for another 2 and a half hours.
ONE HOUR TO GO!
<img src="http://i.imgur.com/HcakV.gif" alt="" title="Hosted by imgur.com" />
Hokay so Imma gonna admit this
I watch the finale for the first time with my newly married husband back in 08, we divorced in 11 and now I am watching it again while he is being married to my best friend, the woman he cheated on me with.
I FEEL WEIRD FANDOM
FULLY UNDERSTANDABLE THAT YOU FEEL WEIRD
🙁 Sorry that happened to you, and let's hope rewatching is a positive experience still, even with the unpleasant link.
Reading the blogs help me rediscover the fandom again. 🙂 I want this to be a positive and awesome reuniting.
then let this be THE VERY BEST INTERNET PARTY EVER. <3
WHAT THE FUCK
Your best friend and your husband SUCK and I hope Sozin's Comet hits THEM.
This is my FIRST EVER liveblog so I am very excite!
Also, to Mark, Happy Bald In-Bald Out Day!
AWW YEAAAHHH ONE MORE HOUR!! I'm so excited for this this will be my first Liveblog ever!!
My first live blog! I started at the Harry Potter reviews and have done a ton of catching up to get here. Mark, you are a wonderful person and everyone else in here fantastic as well :3
I have been lurking here since last October- I am only commenting now because it is such a MOMENTOUS OCCASION. OMG I thought I was 20 minutes late but I'm NOT! =D
Welcome to the party, and glad you're not late!
DITTO!
Is the liveblog actually here or on some other post? Do we post comments here?
Right here!
Liveblog is here, just click play at the times Mark posted and comment away to your hearts content.
Question: is there any way to reload the comments so you end up on the latest one, and not at the beginning of page 1? I'm on Chrome right now.
At the top of the comments there are three sort by options. Click Last Activity and it'll load the comments from the latest one backwards without having to refresh the whole page.
Thanks to you and Hotaru_hime! Well, this makes things more convenient 😀
Awesome, thank you.
at the very top of the comments, there's a little bar that says "Sort by: Date Rating Last Activity"
Click on Last Activity.
I was just wondering the same thing.
So if we're all starting from the white title card, does that mean we should already have watched the opening and the "previously on" segment?
Yes it does! Those segments will be skipped during liveblogging.
Thanks, I just wanted to be clear on that! Otherwise I'd end up like 5 minutes behind and feel like a slowpoke.
We tend to not watch the "previously on" bits. They pretty much say "these people/plot points will be addressed in the following episode". Who wants that anyway?
I would agree that for the liveblog they should be skipped, but this episode's Previously On is notable because of its length and its own music.
A half-hour until live blog time! I bought some tater tots, I am so ready for this!
I just had grilled cheese and soups. Lemonade is at the ready.
LETS DO THIIIIIS
HALF AN HOUR TO GO!
<img src="http://i56.tinypic.com/24b4xzt.gif" border="0" alt="Image and video hosting by TinyPic">
My sentiments exactly!
this is SO APPROPRIATE!!!
I'd really like to take a nap right now, but I'm going to stay for the liveblog. Hopefully my computer won't freeze on me like it did during The Golden Compass.
The crew of ATLA
<img src="http://30.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l805lmC8A71qaniboo1_500.png "/>
lolololol Bryan, wut r u doin? (Besides being AMAZING?)
THAT GUY WITH THE BELLY BUTTON. My God.
This looks like the coolest group of people I will ever see.
If you haven't watched the documentary, you should (after the finale of course). Not only are they all very cool people, but they kind of act like a big family. It's that chemistry that went a long way into making Avatar such a labor of love .
Which is why it's so fantastic that just about everyone that worked on the original (i.e. everyone in that picture) was brought back for Legend of Korra.
Where can one watch this?
Someone linked it below, I think? I'm guessing it'll probably also be re-posted in the proper review, as well.
I think someone already posted a link to it in the comments here, but I'll make sure to get you a link once the finale is over.
29 minutes until starting time. Must make donut run… WILL I BE BACK IN TIME????
<img src="http://30.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lkft3vL3ZQ1qc2l6eo1_400.png "/>
HAHA YES
Win. XD
Rewatching "The Ember Island Players" before the finale!
Ugh…One of my fingers is bandaged at the joints and it's making it a bit hard to type; it took me quite a few tries to get my username entered in correctly, so now I'm just using one hand plus three fingers. Don't know if I'll be able to comment on the episodes much.
I was planting my moonflower vine seedlings below my window yesterday and got cut on the wire trellis. Hope it turns out worth it, though. <img src="http://oi53.tinypic.com/2055j5h.jpg"> (It kind of bothers me that they drew the leaves as doing what the real-life flower buds do, but then my need for botanical accuracy is weird sometimes.)
Oooh, sorry about your finger.
I get the need for botanical accuracy- I get so indignant every time they get medical stuff wrong in other shows, i.e. my rant over the Doctor Who movie.
And once again Chrome isn't showing new comments unless I refresh the entire page. Looks like I'll have to use Firefox again.
less than 20 minutes!
<img src="http://chzgifs.files.wordpress.com/2011/07/inp1.gif">
14 Minutes to go! I have my netflix synced up to the right title card!
So I'm watching this online from Nick's website (That is so weird typing that. It's like I'm watching it from my website? what?) so I'll have little 30 second commercials that will PISS ME OFF TO NO END.
Ooh, are they scattered within the episode? Cause that's not very good for a liveblog. (Find a less-than-legal streaming version if you're not ethically opposed?)
*fidgets* This shall be my first liveblog with Mark… I'm a tad nervous/excited/hungry.
(Maybe I should go fill my water cup now….)
Getting my white title card ready!! 😀
TEN MINUTES.
Got my snacks and my lunch all ready. 😀
do we still start on the southern raiders, even though he reviews the two episodes?
scratch that.
Nonono, that was an example title card, start with Sozin's Part One!
We're only watching the Sozin's Comet finale in four parts. We start on The Phoenix King.
Just woke up… in RIGHT on time (my god I spelled it wrong twice) hooraaay
Eight minuuuutes.
I don't have any food or snacks for the finale. NOO!
Getting Ready….
Man, I (a long-time lurker) actually dusted off my ancient twitter account for this. I am READY! 😀
HELL YEAH
I JUST GOT BACK FROM SONIC.
POTATO BABIES ACQUIRED.
LET'S DO THIS.
I JUST CAME FROM WHOLE FOODS
GARLIC POTATO BABIES FUCK YEAH
ALL RIGHT, FIVE MINUTES
REMEMBER THAT WE ARE STARTING WITH THE WHITE TITLE CARDS, SKIPPING ANY CREDITS AND 'PREVIOUSLY ON' BITS!
This is about when you want to start finding the card and pausing your video, if you haven't done so already!
Liveblog starts in less than 4 minutes!
THIS IS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
AHHHHH SO EXICTED FOR THIIIIIS
Got my donuts… LET'S DO THIS!
AWESOME TIMING
FOUR MINUTES OMG.
also i just got legit sad right now. omg. 🙁
This is technically the first show on Mark Watches that I've seen to completion. Firefly was cancelled, and Doctor Who, Fringe, and Sherlock are all still running.
🙁
We'll always have Korra. I hope.
LET'S NOT COUNT OUR CHICKENS BEFORE THEY HATCH, WHAT IF YOU ARE HIT BY A COMET BEFORE YOU FINISH WATCHING?
WHAT DON'T EVEN SAY THAT. That would be, like, hilariously horrible. Try not to get hit by any comets, Mark!
It's kind of a miracle that ATLA managed to complete its run.
Like, sometimes I have to sit back and just APPRECIATE how lucky we all got, to be able to experience this story all the way through.
But it's a great show to watch to completion! And my god, this finale…well you'll see. In 2 minutes and about 2 hours.
AWESOME I am rescheduling my weekend DVR'd Tour de France coverage date with a friend for Avatar!
YES AVATAR IS MORE AWESOME THAN EPIC BIKE RACING~~~~~
So Excite!
Stumbling out of bed with three minutes to spare! XP
I AM NOT ALONE I had about 15 minutes : D
I woke up in a small panic two hours earlier than usual because I was sure I'd overslept and missed the liveblog!
MY FIRST TIME PARTICIPATING I AM SO EXCITE.
On vacation in Germany, but I'm holed up in my cousin's room with the desktop on this site and my laptop ready to play! I AM EXCITE 😀 😀 😀
Title card occurs at 01:21, for those coming in late.
Are you sure? My netflix has it coming in at 2:48
seriously i feel so fragile now, watching the Previously On segment. BE PREPARED FOR MANY WEEPY TEARS.
good choice, most people are skipping it today
So excited! How do I make it so it automatically updates new comments without me pressing anything?
Hit Last Activity at the top of the comments. But you still have to click that every once in awhile to get updated. no "real time" appearing.
At the top you'll see this thing here;
Sort by: Date Rating Last Activity
Just click on "Last Activity" to refresh the page instead of F5 or your browsers refresh button.
Ok, my daughter (who is 10) and I are ready. White card on the screen. Anticipation in our hearts! Let's DO IT!
