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!
…Oh, and he's attacking Aang.
"…oh, and he's attacking Aang."
Yay, comment twins!
Obviously the sculpture was the most important thing, amirite?
Chase scene!
I love how, despite all his progress and how his skills have improved, Aang can still knock Zuko down with one blow.
Roar dammit!
Why do I think Zuko missed his calling in life by not becoming a professional free runner?
I SERIOUSLY WOULD NOT FIREBEND IN A WOOD HOUSE
Why do firebenders even HAVE wooden houses? Shouldn't they have some sort of fire safety code?
THEY LIVE ON THE EDGE
Considering the Great Fires of places like London and Chicago? We humans aren't terribly bright about that sort of thing, historically speaking.
FIRE TUNNEL !!!!
Oh yeah. Here comes Bad Ass Aang.
Beach parties are important, Zuko!
Wow no way I can keep up with the comments and still watch.
yeaaaaah…
especially because they don't automatically update
OH MY GOODNESS THE ANIMATION IS SO BEAUTIFUL
Oh and Aang can get SCARY when he's serious.
toph can still see sold things with her earthbending
Zuko just really hates buildings on Ember Island.
…oh, and he's attacking Aang.
Zuko has had enough Beach Parties in his life.
YOU'RE GOING TO WAIT???? WTF.
Zuko has no qualms about setting his hallway on fire.
…and he's attacking Aang.
I remember going ZUKO I KNOW YOU'RE INTENSE AND ALL BUT COME ON
She can still tell the shape.
Seriously, guys? You call this a plan? I call it a fail.
Zuko, I think you went a bit overboard, hence being sent into trees!
Aang…. the longer you put it off, the harder it will be for you to ever do it.
"Enough!"
Dang, Aang got fucking dangerous.
Hey guys if you CHANGE THE PLAN you need to TELL ZUKO about this!
THEY REFERENCED THE WAR MEETING FROM "NIGHTMARES AND DAYDREAMS". CONTINUITYGASM!
Mmm, digestives I commandeered specifically all for me for this <3 Caaaaaallback to the war meeting, y'all!
Ableist language, guys :[
It was what, twice in 5 minutes? Jeez.
They're usually so good about "contentious" issues, but this was just…guys. Guys, I love you, but could you stop? D:
oh my god FLASHBACK!!!
whoops, things can get worse…. oh no D:
Bad move on not telling Zuko guys. *shakes head*
THINGS CAN ALWAYS GET WORSE
Thanks for that vote of confidence Sokka. And thanks for that upbeat attitude Katara
hahaaaaaaaaaaa remember that war meeting?
Yeah. ;___;
yeah, no wonder Zuzu decided to bolt after that one.
These kids need to learn to COMMUNICATE
Oh, Team Avatar. *facepalms*
Aww, poor Zuko gets left out of the big important super-sekrit meetings :(((
"Things can't get any worse." Famous last words…
How much worse Zuko?
Also, WHY DID NO ONE ASK IF ZUKO HAD FIRE NATION INFORMATION?!
WHY DIDN'T HE OFFER UP THE INFORMATION BEFORE NOW?
Information fail all round.
War meeting!
Goddamn it, of all the times for my internet to act up.
Oh god, Zuko's gonna tell us something depressing, isn't he?
War Room Time! Mark Hamill as Ozai is stilll spooky to think of.
Poor Zuko… No one tells him anything. It's the Harry Potter thing all over again (well, sort of.) JUST TELL PEOPLE IMPORTANT INFORMATION AND THERE WILL BE NO MISUNDERSTANDINGS!
I call it Wheel of Time Syndrome, myself.
THIS IS IMPORTANT GUYS, WHY DID YOU NOT ASK ZUKO FOR INFO WHEN HE JOINED UP?
When I first watched this, I expected Katara to turn on Zuko. You know, because of what she said a couple of episodes ago?
FIRELOAD OZAIS FACE REVEALED FOR THE FIRST TIME. BAM!
Uh, no. We saw him in the first episode of season 3.
Plus during the invasion.
"…and I am the Supreme Ruler of Everything!"
narm narm narm narm narm narm narm narm narm narm narm narm narm narm narm narm narm narm narm narm narm narm narm narm narm narm narm narm narm narm narm narm narm narm narm narm narm narm narm narm narm narm narm narm narm narm narm narm narm narm narm narm narm narm narm narm narm narm narm narm narm narm narm narm narm narm narm narm narm narm narm narm narm narm narm narm narm narm narm narm narm narm narm narm narm narm narm narm narm narm

WAY TO GIVE OZAI IDEAS ZUKO! 🙁
ahhhhhh DESTROYING HOPE. AHHHHH.
BABYKILLER!!! ;_;
LOL that's not exactly what they meant their Ozai….
AAAAHHHHHH scary Mark Hamill
You go, Earth Kingdom rebellions. Keep rollin'.
Seriously, I heart the hell out of all of them. <3
"We need to destroy their hope."
DDDDDDDD:
Yeah, you WOULD think that, Azula. 😐
Ozai is officially a complete monster. Him and Azula both
THEY'RE GOING TO BURN DOWN BA SING SE? BUT IT'S A /LONG LONG WAY/
god damn it azula DAMN IT
"We need to destroy their hope."
"Burn it all to the ground."
YOU GUYS ARE SOCIOPATHS
AHH the doom was all Azula's idea! (typical)
DESTROY HOPE!!
BUT SHES JUST A BABY D:
BARD CHILD, YOU ARE MAKING ME TEARBEND.
AZULAAAA.
Ozai your expression is seriously freaking me the fuck out. DD:
That's not what Zuko meant you-you… mean… person… thing!
Wow, this is such a Communication Fail
what the fuck WHAT THE FUCK!!!!
WELL SHIT JUST GOT REAL
OH SHIT THE FIRE LORD IS GOING TO BURN THE WORLD DOWN
Creepy music is creepy
'We need to destroy their hope.'
'Well, that's not exactly what I meant–'
No. No YOUR WRONG, AZULA!!!
Earth Kingdom!? But that's Zuko's temporary not-home!
"Um, well, genocide wasn't really waht I had in mind dad, but…if you think it is a good idea then sure…I guess everyone is doing it…also, if we burn everyone and everything, what would we rule? You know, the point of all of this? taking over the world? What will you rule if you kill everyone?
SHHH NO RATIONAL THOUGHT IN THE THRONE ROOM
HONESTLY
Zuko, I know you did not mean it, but you are about to cause a second genocide!
this music is so creepy
Love Ozai's jazz hands here….
Earth Kingdom is most of the world, though? HOW WILL YOU GET YOUR FOOD?
NSS AANG MY GOD IT IS BAD
This plan is just…AUGH!
NOOOOOOO, NOT ANOTHER GENOCIDE ;A;
This is so terrible, and Ozai's dragon-shadow gets me EVERY TIME
I love the music in these episodes; recorded with a full, live orchestra, and it is AWESOME.
Yes, Ozai – because what the world needs is more genocide. Clearly.
Once again Azula made everything a billion times worse.
Team Avatar needs help with COMMUNICATION.
"Fan and Sword!"
Clearly these are invaluable weapons to take down the Fire Lord
And I <3 Sokka's fan and sword
Ozai- The Supreme Ruler of Ashes and Bones.
Hey Zuko it's okay you didn't say anything. Your dad would have killed you! D:
HEY OZAI, YOU AIN'T NO PHEONIX, STOP SAYING YOU ARE.
At least now we know what it was about the war meeting that made Zuko realise he wanted something different.
Scorched earth! What's scary is that Ozai's plan – classic villain "I want to take over the world!" is actually THIS close to WORKING!!!!
TEAM AVATAR ! Yesssssss
GODDAMN EVIL PLAN OZAI.
Ozai, why would you want to rule a bunch of burned ruins? IT'S NOT NICE!
haha polite applause for ozai
Assume: To make an ass out of you and me
Also: FAN AND SWORD!
And Zuko gets a group hug. *wub*
well monkeyfeathers!
no pressure aang!
oh sokka <3
