    I love the storytelling!

    This episode was just another solid experience, and a perfect set up for the finale episode!

    This episode mostly centers on Aang amd his training wirh the Guru,which really gave me vibes of "Luke training with Yoda" in Empire Strikes back, as we learn even more about what It means to be a bender, let alone an Avatar!

    Aangs training forces him to confront everything he has been through thus far, from his greatest defeats to his greatest fears! It gives us some great development for his character and adds great elements to the decision he makes from this point on!

    Overall with this episode and the next.. I cant help but think of The empire strikes back! Watch it, and you will know why!

      The sign above the door in Iroh's tea shop says "I'd rather go three days without eating than one day without tea!"
    • Goofs
      When Aang is releasing his chakras with the help of the guru, one of the chakras seems to change from beginning to release. When the guru explains the chakra of sound, located in the vocal cords, once Aang releases the chakra, he calls the chakra the chakra of truth.
    • Quotes

      Guru Pathik: The greatest illusion of this world is the illusion of separation. Things you think are separate and different are actually one and the same.

      Aang: Like the four nations.

      Guru Pathik: Yes. We are all one people, but we live as if divided.
