In the recent events after the premier of the Season 3 opener, The Awakening, I've noticed that alot of people are not pleased with this episode. Now I'm trying not to be judging or anything as I know there are some episodes that are relatively blah in some peoples opinions. My point here is to try and help others understand that not everyone can be pleased. While I was extremely pleased with the episode, others I know were not. We have to keep in mind that this is a rather small portion of the Avatar community and that the majority of viewers are as pleased with the episode as I am. However, most of the concerns are coming from the technical aspect of it. Editing did seem like a slight problem in the episode and the episode overall seemed a bit rushed, but you have to consider the details and plot points that needed to be finished. This episode had to have a different outline that the season two opener. Season one closed on a happier note while season two closed on a cliffhanger. Trying to finish up the plot from season two had to be done fairly quickly. I'm sure that the writers could have wrote a two hour long opener for the new season, but they also had to start a new storyline and all this had to be done in 22 minutes. That is an enourmous challenge on their part and they pulled it off great! Yes there are a few inconsitances but what show doesn't? While I know that it is hard not to point out all of these minor mistakes, we shouldn't let it bother us. The show that we know and love is finally back and we are all looking forward to what could and probably is, the best season of Avatar yet!
