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!
Toph is scaring me…
*hides under blanket again*
I AM NOT TOPH! I AM MELON LORD!!! MUAHAHAHA!
This will never not be amusing to be.
War!Sokka scares me just a leetle bit.
MELONNN LORD!!! MWAH-HAH-HAH!!!
I AM NOT TOPH. I AM MELON LORD!!!!
I wouldn't mind Toph being an evil Earth Lord and taking over the world.
Oh toph, you are the best evil villian ever. I just had a terrifying thought: If toph and azula ever teamed up, the world would explode instantly.
It can't be that hard to get some more spirit water, right?
Oh the melon lord line is coming up!
I am not Toph, I am MELLON LORD! MWAHAHAHAHA.
No one ever knows what I'm referencing when I say that IRL. SADNESS.
you know, the bottoms of the pillars in the war room look like Daleks.
"So I get to throw flaming rocks at you? …Sweetness."
Oh dear.
I like that they pulled a discretion shot for slicing a watermelon…
"I AM NOT TOPH! I AM MELON LORD! MUAHAHAHAHAHAHHA!" xD favorite quote from Toph, y/y?
Y.
Toph takes her role as the Melon Lord very seriously. That's what you call dedication…
All hail Melonlord Toph!
I AM MELON LORD MWA HAHAHAHA!
watch it toph your secret evil is showing!
Sokka and Suki make a pretty cool team. 🙂
"I am not Toph I am MELON LORD !" Toph, I will love you forever
AH! Netflix stopped running my episode! Resume damn you!
"I knew it! You did have a secret thing with Haru!"
wow, that got by the censors? damn good job radar dodging A:TLA
Hey guys, I'm a bit late- where are we?
13 minutes in.
Aang couldn't kill the Melon Lord
Katara showing Ozai's baby picture.
I, for one, welcome our new melon overlord.
I know this scene is supposed to be all dramatic, but… I just can't take the melon seriously.
Cold, Sokka. COLD
I can not keep up with the comments!
Who knew slicing a melon could be so CHILLING. D:
Little known fact- Aang loves Watermelons. Not Cabbages.
Mmmm, tasty Melon Lord.
and then momo DEVOURS melon lord
I cannot kill this poor innocent melon!
Momo is eating the Melon Lord's brains THE HORROR.
Aww, Aang. You and your moral standards <3333
THAT 360 PAN
SO AWESOME
LAWLS
Aang can't do it.
Could Zuko kill his own dad if he had the power?
Sadly, I think yes.
LOVE THE DRAMATIC MUSIC WITH MOMO SLURPING IN THE BACKGROUND
AND MOMO IS EATING MELON LORD'S BRAIN!!! AHAHAHAHAHAHA
*shifts uncomfortably* why so dark, sokka?
Katara's trying to embarrass Zuko with baby pictures. Because you are not officially part of the group until Katara has mothered you.
And then Momo eats Fire Lord Ozai's brains. :U
aww momo there to diffuse the darkness
Momo, you're eating the Melon Lord's brain!
"I just didn't feel like myself." Zuko, you should know how that feels.
0.o Sokka killed the Melon Lord.
IT'S SAD HOW CUTE THAT IS.
CUTE AND EVIL.
I love Aang. He's as naive as me about violence and sech.
lawl baby zuko
Baby… Ozai?
Jeeze, Sokka, that's kind of dark of you. (Understandable, but still.)
oh. AWKWARD.
SOKKA KILLED COMBUSTION MAN /AND/ MELON LORD?
HE IS A STONE COLD KILLER WHO MUST BE STOPPED.
Imagine your opponent as a five-year-old child.
baby zuko awww-wait evil baby kill it!
baby zuko… NO!!!
…HAWKWARD >.>
Speaking of Haru… where exactly did Hakoda and the rest of the group go?
Yeppers, it looks like I'm too far ahead. I'll just shut up until the next part comes up.
LMAO goddammit Toph.
sokka knows how it is because they have to hunt for their food in the water tribe. aww baby zuko. 🙂
Baby Ozai… where did you go wrong?
AWKWAAAAARD
BABY ZUKO X-D
"I knew it! You DID have a secret thing with Haru!"
LOLOLOL AMAZING.
Flew over the head of most people I think.
Now I want to see a photo of Baby Melon Lord.
"Secret thing with Haru" Hardly Subtle Innuendo on a KIDS SHOW!
GLUE BENDING. Please invent this.
I really love this scene. Aang being deliciously angry and upset on my gosh.
aang, i aspire to your level of pacifism <3
I think now is the time to say I LOVE THE MUSIC IN THE FINALE. That bit in the background while Aang is having his rant? Just one of the many examples of the Track Team's awesomeness.
Seriously. Really pretty.
Don't fight you guys !!!!
Oh, Aang, you can't bend sarcasm.
FAVORITE COMMENT SO FAR
GLUEBENDING IS MY FAVOURITE BENDING
zuko you are such an ass sometimes, and i love you.
do you really think that will work… NO!!!
Baby Ozai – saddest and most unsettling image ever.
'He grew up to be…the worst father.' Awww, Zuko…
OH GOSH GLUE-BENDING
I love Aang's dramatic arm movements
SWEET I thought I'd missed this and then I remembered East Coast time is ahead, not behind >_>
Momo gives the best advice.
Woa! Angry Aang!!! O_O
I wish I could bake a cake filled with rainbows and smiles and everyone would eat and be happy
She doesn't even go here!!!
Glue bending? I love you Aang!
Zuko, you're such a buzzkill. Glue-bending sounds awesome.
ILU Toph. ilu so much.
SOKKA you are not being sensitive to Aang's feelings. IT IS GOING TO BITE YOU IN THE BUM, SOKKA
Aaaaand now aang gets some of that teenage angst
you can really tell they upped the budget on the finale.
EPIC HAND MANEUVERS
AANGST AANGST AANGST AANGST
I am firmly on Team Aang-not-killing-anyone. The very thought breaks my heart.
Katara and Zuko are totes Team Mom and Dad.
Also AAng had meat on his plate I'm pretty sure. I thought he was a vegetarian.
Aww, Aang, you and your moral standards: Take Two!
You know, it's a pretty tall order to tell a 12 year old kid from a hundred years ago to kill a guy.
TOTAL AANGST
Sudddenly, AANGST.
Fucking god, the music here makes me cry by itself, every time. It's so beautiful.
momo i love you so much.
ominous chanting that can't be good
Geez, this just got intense
