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!
Gran-Pakku!
GRAN-GRAN REMARRIED!!!
COOL OLD GUY CLUB!
ALSO; BE DECISIVE.
Awwww…old people love. I love it when people get married late in life.
GrandPakku!
"I offer you this wisdom, Aang: You must be Decisive."
decisive=/=killing
Didn't Gran-Gran leave the North Pole because of this guy?
Grandpa!
No wait, Grandpakku!
Pakku: No!
Grampaku… lol.
GRANPAKKU.
HOLY GOD IT'S PAKU AND BUMI AND AND OH MY GOD THIS IS AMAZING
"Decisive" is a hell of a euphemism.
NEW GRANDFATHER
GRANDPAKKU LOOOL
'Welcome to the family, Gramp-Gramp!'
Uh…no.
"…For your new grandfather?"
WOAH. WHAT?
WATATWIST
And I would loved to be called GrandPaku
ORDER OF THE WHITE LOTUS!
"We're surrounded by old people"
GRAND PAKKU!
"…No"
GRANDPAKKU
I WANNA SLEEP ON APPA'S TAIL!
Gramnp-Gramp!
Grampa-ku!
GRAMPAKKU! Sokka, never change!
GRANDPAKU!!!!
Grandpaku! Love you Sokka!
GrandPaku!
"What's going on? We're surrounded by old people!"
HAHA it's too bad there aren't any AWESOME OLD WOMEN in this show. :/
HOW ABOUT GRAMPAKKU? I love you Sokka
OH MY GOD THIS IS THE BEST THING EVER.
I KNOW RIGHT
GranPakku!
Grampakku!
GRAMPAKKU!!
Granpakku 4eva plz.
All old people know each other, don't you know that?
Bumi, you are awesome forever.
"All old people know each other." XD
lol gramp-gramp
I support grampakku though
GrandPaku! I like it Sokka.
All old people know each other.
Confederation of the Old People?
"You can still just call me Pakku." "How about Granpakku?" "No."
lol, Sokka's expression!
"Grampakku!!"
"…No."
God, I love you Bumi!
Secret society!! Order of the White Lotus!!
Be nice if there were an old woman in that group. Just saying.
INDEED
Yeah, I was about to say this. It's too bad I can't think of that many. The lady who had the cat Miyuki was pretty awesome, but that is definitely lacking.
Eh, not fond of the cat lady trope, so still a fail in my book.
Agreed. Here's hoping for Korra, guys.
ORDER OF THE WHITE LOTUS FUCK YEAH

Omg Order of the White Lotus
Bumi is the coolest old man since Arnold's grandpa.
ORDER OF THE WHITE LOTUS AWW YEAH
Order of the White Lotus has ~too many dicks on the dance floor~
ahahaha how did I miss this comment.
WHERE'S MOMO?
WHERE'S MOMO
Philosophy, Beauty, Truth….and kicking an unholy amount of ass.
"we need to find aang a firebending teacher" "what about jeong jeong?" "like we'll ever run into jeong jeong again!"
"All old people know each other, don't you know that?" <333
And Bumi misses Momo more than Aang. Amazing.
… Where's Momo?
Never change Bumi.
"All old people know each other." I love Bumi. And where's Momo? WE'D ALL LIKE TO KNOW THAT, BUMI!
"Wait…where's Momo?"
Bumi, ALL OF THE LOVE. FOREVER.
WHERE'S MOMO!?
Someone's missing…
Someone very important…
…
WHERE'S MOMO?!
Bumi, stop violating personal bubbles.
IROH ASSEMBLED THE WHITE LOTUS ARMY! THINGS ARE WONDERFUL AND FULL OF JOY!
OH BUMI, HAHAHA
It's like if all the members of the bridge club my grandparents go to were actually ninjas in disguise! Except ten times cooler and more badass! 😀
lol, Jeong-Jeong has been positive and peaceful for a whole sentence, what's wrong?
This times a million.
It is!
"Personally, I don't really see the difference." Wow, morality burn.
f yeah kyoshi
KIYOSHI IS THE BADDEST MOTHERFUCKER OF AN AVATAR, Y/N?
She's my favorite Avatar, at least.
Definitely. It'd been cool if Gran-Gran at least was there.
Or Aunt Wu!
Personally, I don't see the difference.
Kyoshi is so good
FUCK YEAH KYOSHI
Kyoshi! My favorite avatar!
He's been influenced by the power of Iroh?
Yeah, some badass old ladies would've been a welcome addition, NGL. 🙁
Looks like Mark's prediction about past Avatars is coming true.
"I knew I shouldn't have asked Kyoshi" LOLOLOL
Fffff- JENNIFER HALE WHY CAN'T I JUST MARRY YOU? D:
Avatar Kyoshi! Love you.
Oh Kyoshi you're totally my favorite past Avatar!
Dude, as if Kyoshi was going to tell you anything but "Suck it up. Be a badass."
"I knew I shouldn't have asked Kyoshi."
"Where's Momo!?"
"…He's gone. And so is Aang."
"Oh well. As long as they have each other, I'm sure we have nothing to worry about!"
Kyoshi would have killed Chin.
…Sound cuts out there…
UGH, KYOSHI I LOVE YOU SO MUCH
"I knew I shouldn't have asked Kyoshi." Aww, Aang, I'm sorry your soul searching is not going well on the magic island.
I love that the Order of the White Lotus is basically an old people's hobby group
"So guys. Old age. We got nothing to do. New hobby? Start an anarchist group that transcends the four nations? Cool. I'll send out some fliers. Reasons…to…join the White Lotus…"
NO JUSTICE
NO PEACE
Yaaaaaaaaay Backstory!!!!!
Avatar Kyoshi…kind of a killjoy… :/
"Only justice will bring peace"
NEVER CHANGE BUMI
I love Kyoshi. That is all.
"I don't really see the difference." Kyoshi? You're kind of awesome.
lawl people escaped Bumi
Epic escape sequence!!!
Bumi. What. A. BAMF.
"I knew I shouldn't have asked Kyoshi."
WTF Netflix, the sound just cut out for a second.
"Personally I don't see the difference."
Gotta say, I disagree with you there Kyoshi.
Also, Bumi now gives Toph a pretty close run as Greatest Earth Bender Ever right now.
