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!
THE RETURN OF THE OMINOUS BUDDHIST CHANTING!
We should put Ozai in the Evil Baby Orphanage. He's just too adorable!
I like your vlogbrothers reference.
Aang needs to do some soul searching. The background music says so.
The tension between team Avatar is certainly showing.
what the hell
exactly!
eeeeeee
eeeeee shit is about to get real
"And all those happy memories would make him good again!"
"Do you really think that would work?"
"NO!"
Ah, nativity!
Do you mean… naivete?
excellent typo
Lololol, yes. Spelling + me+ speed= bad idea.
It's that same chant the Fire Monks made!!
Momo's little chirp.
IT'S MY FAVORITE.
where u going aang?
WTF ? Aang where are you GOING ?!?!
Aang- "Hey Momo- I don't suppose you know what I should do?"
Momo- "BRING ME MOAR FOOD!"
SUDDENLY. MYSTERIOUS ISLAND.
^ This.
Firelord Ozai is a horrible person. Sure, he used to be a Jedi Knight before, but he became the Clown Prince of Gotham, and now the Firelord. What's next?
Nice. Love the references.
God Aang is gonna make me cry, I really feel for this kid I do oh my god. No child demi-god or not should have to decide kill a person
ALSO OMNIOUS CHANTING
I think you all broke Netflix for me XD
Quick question: how do i post gifs?

ISLAND out of FUCKING NOWHERE
IT'S THE ISLAND FROM LOST.
Could Aang airbend smokey?
What are you doing Aang, don't follow the creepy voice.
Also, awesome chanting going on right now.
I'm just going to swim over to this strange island with the weird chanting, nbd
IN THE JUNGLE THE MIGHTY JUNGLE
THE LIONTURTLE SLEEPS TONIGHT
And it's gone!
chanting islands that appear out of no where? no thanks. no thanks.
Oh yea…that guy…he's kind of important…. maybe we should find him….
I'm glad that I'm rewatching this before the Track Team panel at SDCC — they did such a fantastic job with all the music on this show, but the finale is particularly excellent, and now I'm going to be MAXIMALLY psyched for fangirling them.
The island is calling for you…
Mark, I can't wait to read your comments about Aang's moral dilemma about killing the fire lord.
Ooooh, chanting! The first sign of mystical hijinks!!!
I found the second part of the finale on a site that doesn't whack up my internet connection!! hopefully itll load by 11:30 :>
Aaaaang, why are you taking a late-night swim?
"I knew it! You did have a secret thing with Haru!" Did I mention I love Toph?
Serious stuff here. As a pacifist I always find it interesting how characters on TV shows who are supposedly peaceful deal with a situation where the "only solution" is to kill, and I'm impressed by Aang's dedication compared to the average fictional pacifist.
And while I was writing this Aang got… bewitched by the soundtrack? Uh-oh!
And now starts the part where I SPENT THE REST OF THE TIME SO CONFUSED. WHERE IS AANG???
Ominous I think Hindu Chanting. This Island is going to be full of mystery and wonder and WHY IS AANG SLEEPWALKING TO IT?!
he's kung fu jesus. he obviously walked on the water
I think the part with the island is my favorite in the finale. BTW I heard they used a live orchestra for the music here.
They did, full concert orchestra, cant recall which one.
haha how do they not remember to bring the avatar along
I love this chanting music. So creepy and foreboding. And mysterious island summoning Aang! The suspense is intense. <3
It amuses me that they forgot Aang though. "We got everything. Oops! Where's the hero?"
Oh, this music is nuts!
I love that. "Where's Aang?" Camera flashes to Appa. ("No… that's not him…")
And now I'm a Toph/Zuko shipper. Great.
She loves older men!

No island? DUN DUN DUUUUNNNN
Aang's having his own beach party because you're all poop heads who ruined the good times with depressing revelations.
