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!
Now I can finally post using my usual internet moniker! I've been waiting for this day for weeks! =D
Mark, you are SO not prepared for what's coming!!
HEY EVERYBODY

Time to get a drink. Hopefully, I don't knock over the glass again. It's way too early in the morning.
How can i get the comments to refresh automatically? I'm using safari if that helps.
Time to make a fresh pot of tea! I'm using my dragon clay pot; seemed appropriate.
I hope no one minds if I'm just sort of refreshing the comment pages without actually watching the episode, lol.
OZAI WAS A KING
NO WAIT. HE WAS A PHOENIX KING
WELL ACTUALLY HE WAS JUST A PHOENIX
BUT HE WAS STILL OZAAAAAIIIIIII
BURNINATING THE EARTH KINGDOM
Something needs to be said here… let me clear my throat first…
BUMBUMBUM.
Oh dear…I forgot to stop the episode. Rewind powers activate!
I have returned with Pringles and a Galaxy Cookie Crumble bar 😀
Avatar is a GREAT way to start the morning.
http://www.timeanddate.com/library/abbreviations/… This 11:30.
I'm holding out for the polar bear BECAUSE MAYBE IT WILL BE ARMORED.
2 minutes!
Yeah there's a reason I went with the DVDs for this viewing. 😛
Me, too. Better safe than sorry!
Wow, we're already at 33 pages with only one episode done.
Why can't we just watch the Gaang enjoy a day at the beach. I don't want to see anyone get hurt. 🙁
But did you remember your math test?
finally i get a chance to catch up. I was at least two pages behind in the comments but they did coincide with how far behind I was in watching
I feel like I'm waiting through the commercial break of Saturday Morning cartoons with friends back in third grade. THIS IS WONDERFUL!
I have returned with a relived bladder.
We just hit the 1000 mark! On episode 1 alone!
ONE MINUTE.
OZAI THE BURNINATOR!!!
BURNINATING THE EARTH KINGDOM!!
BURNINATING THE PEASANTS!!
You just know Ozai was waiting ages for that perfect moment where he could be all PHOENIX KING. I mean those banners. THAT ARMOR.
Well, at least we know where Zuko gets his dramatic tendencies from.
ONE MINUTE AHH WHY AM I SO EXCITED IVE SEEN THIS A MILLION TIMES…
30 seconds or less until restart.

Hello! I couldn't miss this.
Is there a way to refresh to the newest page of comments?

Oh God Jennifer Hale's voice so sexy
This show does not ship Zutara.
Prince Pouty!
Awwww….Appa loves everybody, even snuffly wufflies
Where is Iroh?
Creepy grandpa.
That's never sounded funnier than in her voice.
🙁 Jun thought Iroh was creepy. Because you were, Iroh. It was gross. 🙁
Yeah, Iroh has some issues when it comes to women. At least Jun called him out on it here.
Awww…Iroh's still MIA. Thanks for reminding me, Jun.
Also, Appa and Nyla are totally friends.
Yup. Back in the good old days.
lolololol
Appa/Nyla 4eva
Imagine those babies… Cute and deadly.
"Yup, back in the good old days."
ILThisLine

Nyla is an awesome name…

Prince Pouty and his Creepy Grandpa. XD
I quite like Zutara. I also like Kataang
Appa's got that creature LICKED.
Literally.
DOES THE END OF THE WORLD SOUND LIKE MORE FUN!?
"Yep, back in the good old days." I'm so happy to see Zuko joking around hurr.
YUP BACK IN THE GOOD OLD DAYS.
Zuko made a joke! <3 Sarcasm influence from his new BFF Sokka.
Does the end of the world seem like more fun? THE TENSION INCREASES.
Haha… I love Appa licking his paralyzing tongue.
it would have been funnier if Toph nicknamed Zuko Prince Pouty 🙂
Appa x Nyla OTP.
IT CAN'T FIND AANG
AANG, HOW DID YOU GET OFF OF EARTH!? THE MAGIC ISLAND WAS CLEARLY ON THE PLANET!
WHAT THE HOLY FUCK.
That's kind of the general theme right about now.
AANG DOESN'T EXIST
DIRECTED BY M NIGHT SHYAMALAN
<img src="http://img6.imageshack.us/img6/2858/121722204943.png">
Is this by that person who does The Meek? Looks familiar.
Yup! : )
"Nope, I could find him if he was dead." Dead bodies REALLY smell. Oh god, he IS on the island in LOST.
"He doesn't exist"
Well shit. There's a bit of a conundrum.
Aang doesn't exist NOOO NOT GOOD.
"I mean he's GONE, gone. He doesn't exist."
What 😐
Man, that creepy island has got skills to make it that Aang can't exist.
I'm gonna pretend that was Momo from Samurai Champloo
HE DOESN'T EXIST WHAAAAT
Nyla! … can't find Aang. WUT. D:
Aang look out for smoke monsters! D:
YES YES GO FIND IROH!
Okay, website froze on me, had to refresh.
Yes, that is a really good question. WHY did he save his uncle's sandle?
LOL way to be negative Sokka.
"Wait, you can see me. We can't both be in the Spirit World"
Yes you can because…..
MOMO IS THE ANIMAL AVATAR!!!!!
I'm behind because of refresh fails, but JENNIFER HALE I LOVE YOU FOREVER.
Zuko's so sentimental.
<img src="http://26.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lcqcpaedjS1qciulso1_500.jpg "/>
Okay, this seriously made me laugh out loud and distrub my roomate who is trying to work. Bravo.
Aang is very confused for someone who is nonexistent at the moment.
OH MY GOD HE SAVED THE SANDAL
Such Pretty scenery!
ZUKO STILL HAS IROH'S SANDAL! Awwness!
WHAT DO YOU MEAN AANG DOESN'T EXIST??
And Iroh's sweaty sandal. <333 IROH IS COMING BACK <3

OMG THE ISLAND IS A TARDIS
