Katara shines!

While this episode see our characters arrive at The Northern Watertribe, katara also has a great arc and one AMAZING duel in waterbending!

This episode shows that the season is reaching its conclusion as they search for a master in waterbending! This is a lot qbout culture and rules and whether to except those or not!

This episode sees Katara stand up to herself, not letting anyone tell her what to do, rather making her own decisions on her own! She herself knows what is right!

Her duel was AMAZING!! Very well animated and really shows just how much she has grown over the season!

We also get some great scenes with Zuko and Zhao!

Arrival at the North Pole

A solid episode with some good moments. And the stage is set up for the finale. Katara got some good character development as well. I like her arc.

8.5/10.

Finally, the North Pole

The Good 1) Katara is a strong female character done right. She stands up against Pakku's sexism and gives it her all but (given he's a Waterbending master and she's an amateur) she still loses the battle but gains his respect leading to his teaching her.

2) I like Sokka's relationship with Princess Yue and incidentally, he has kissed a girl before (Suki) 3) I like that Aang struggles to learn Waterbending since it suggests that even if his natural talent were enough to make the basics easy, he can't coast on it through advanced training 4) I like the implication that Sokka's sexism (since discarded) is not personal but cultural 5) I like everything about Prince Zuko and Commander Zhao (yes, I still call him Commander) 6) I like the comedy The Bad If Kanna hated her arranged marriage so much that she moved to the other side of the world because of it, then why did she keep her betrothal necklace as a keepsake for most of her life and bequeath it to her daughter and granddaughter? That's not adequately explained.

Even so, it's a great episode.
