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!
YAY JUNE!!!
THIS IS DISTURBINGLY LIKE A NAZI RALLY.
Pretty much yeah D:
Supreme Ruler of the World REALLY, OZAI? REALLY!?
Ozai is evil, but boy are those pheonix king banners snazzy!
Ooooh! Music from The Headband!
Ozai, you are the most manipulative person EVER! Look at what you've done to family, let alone what you'll do to the planet, you hammy king!
"You can't treat me like Zuko!"
This will forever be the most telling line about Azula, Ozai, and their relationship, ever.
I LOVE JUNE !!!!!
Magneto Ozai…..
JUNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN LOVE HER!!!!
OMG JUNE. JUUUUUNNNEE!
… They're in a bar.
LOL kids' show.
I wish there was a good Avatar novelisation; it would be brilliant. XD
WAY TO ROLL OUT THE SUPER-OSTENTATIOUS FLAG, OZAI.
Totally what Dumbledore would have worn if he became minister of magic
Music from the Headband!
lawl her skin is flawless
JUNE?!?!
Jun! Oh Fuck Yes! Fucking Awesome!
Also, I'm now officially a Jun/Toph shipper too. What is wrong with me today?
And Azula is BETRAYED by her father! Left behind, then made Fire Lord when it no longer means anything. I feel almost sorry for her, given how much she cares about her father's approval.
Also, JUNE YAY.
Hey June, nice to see you again.
Does anyone else think Ozai just has a small penis and is trying to make up for it by being ruthless?
JUN!!! 😀
Jun! How the hell did Zuko find her, anyway?!
Same bar as before!
And now Toph/June pairing!
TOPH AND JUN SHOULD TOTALLY TEAM UP AND HAVE ADVENTURES.
And in the US, yesterday was Take Your Daughters and Sons to Work Day. DIDN'T YOU GET THE MEMO, OZAI?
And here comes Sokka repeating himself.
OMG JUNE!!!
Jun and Isabela from Dragon Age need to get together. I'll let you decide what "get together" means exactly.
No bar would be safe!
June = epic badass
And she doesn't even spill her tea.
So, the Pheonix is the symbol of hope, right? I mean, they represent new life, and surviving, and hope….and oh crap, PHEONIXES ARE SCARY.
Bar fight! Kid's Show! LOVE!
The return of June! <3
also notice the music is the same as from the headband
Yes you would Toph
TOPH/JUN 4EVA!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Toph X June.
Once Toph comes of age, of course.
Aang EOWKFOKKOAKDFOK WHERE ARE YOU ?!?!?!?!?!?
"I don't know who this lady is, but I like her!"
OMG THIS SHOW TOTALLY JUST TURNED INTO LOST
Hello music from The Headband dance party, nice to hear you again!
so fun!
JUNE 😀
JUNE IS PRETTY RAD
JUUUUUNE!
The Continuity! Her badassery! It makes me giddy! 😀
Love you Jun and all your HBIC ways. Not to mention you've got the Toph seal of approval.
toph rules at all times forever an ever amen
Toph's "Peanuts" face.
EFF YEA CHARACTER REAPPEARANCES. Toph and Jun would be an epic team.
IT'S GONNA BE STRANGER AANG
Look, it's the awesome bounty hunter/tracker!
And then she catches her drink. Amazing.
And Toph likes her, so that's quite the vote of confidence.
Yay!
anyone notice they're playing music from the dance scene from 'the headband'?
I like that little "Phoenix King" presentation. I wonder if the servants rehearsed for that.
did anyone notice june vs RYU
AWWWWWWWWW YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH, JUNE
The island art is so pretty
God, it even sounds like that noise from LOST
It totally does.
oh hai you're here!
Aang is going to meet the Smoke Monster?
Mysterious island is mysterious.
REMEMBER, THIS IS BREAK TIME! DON'T WATCH THE SECOND PART YET!
OK, PAUSE TIME! Everyone wait until 11:30 to start part 2.
hah, I beat you by a hair.
WHAT 11:30 ARE WE GOING BY??? ATOMIC TIME?? COMMENT TIME? HOW DO WE SYNC PROPERLY?

WHERE INDEED, AANG.
Momo is such a cat, I love him.
I know, I love how his movements were obviously based on kitties.
Break Time?
dun dun DUN!
Oh dear, Aang, you've gotten yourself lost. WHAT WILL YOU DO NOW?
Pause 🙁
Aw. One last Zutara joke.
And "back in the good ole' days" LOL.
Prince Pouty!
Whoops, forgot to pause.
Breaktime! Going to be ontime instead of early this round!
Alright, 5 to relax and then back into the action!
Just gonna listen to this music as i read some comments.
Jun fought to the dance party music. The flameos
I thought I wouldn't get hungry but I got hungry.
SQUEAK, EPISODE OVER, WHAT SHALL I DO FOR THE NEXT SEVEN MINUTES *flails*
This has been so much fun so far! And we haven't even gotten to the best parts!
It really does show in these episodes how much more they put into the finale. It's just amazing quality.
not something we say around here.
wow fastest 25 minutes ever y/y?
Yay for breaks, I was about 2 minutes behind everyone else, heh.
Actually, yes. The end of the world does sound like fun, as long as I win.
Please refrain from using that term. Muchas gracias
Also, we start from the title card again, right?
Yup, title card everytime.
Time to put on some pants. I need them to fight the fire lord.
(and yes, this statement is being purposefully left without context.)
OMG! First part is over and the next part is only like 8 minutes away!
I love this episode for the set up of an intense finale and some more lighthearted moments of humour before the INTENSITY of the rest of the finale.
And THE PHOENIX KING!! BURNING DOWN THE EARTH KINGDOM!! MYSTERIOUS ISLAND!! JUN!!
So much awesome and intenseness and it's barely even started.
now we wait for part 2! Mark, I know it's weird to say this in the finale and all but…
YOU
ARE
NOT
PREPARED
LIKE AT ALL
SIRIUSLY.
oh shit. I over watched. At least I didn't say anything spoilery.
That was a QUICK part 1!
Hey… did anyone alse notice june vs ryu from capcom
I finally caught up to you guys! XD
I think ya'll broke Netflix because it wouldn't load for the longest time for me! XDD
Good, a break. I need to catch up (my DVD player would crap out on me when I need it most -_-; thank goodness for laptops).
So what do you think of the finale so far Mark?
I'm using this to sync up the time, even though I live in the PDT timezone already. http://www.timeanddate.com/library/abbreviations/…
Awesome, I think I'll use this too (my desktop time seems to be a couple minutes behind)
now i can be kinda in sync with everyone~
almost time for part 2!
I've been up 11 hours, I have to work on my art while I watch…and I'm starting to have a migraine. THIS IS MY FIRST LIVEBLUG.
LIVEBLUG
Well I totally failed at liveblogging! I'm going to use the 5 minute break to make me some cinnamon toast 😀
I'm going off my computer, so basically atomic time, I guess.
Okay, okay. Sorry for exploding in fear of not liveblogging properly!
I need to start cooking my potato babies soon….
NEVER PREPARED. XD
