Yeah, it's on at 5pm EST on YTV in Canada. I'm looking forward to the new season.

I'm annoyed that it's on opposite Doctor Who. I'm watching it and taping DW, because if something goes wrong with my tape, I'll be able to catch a rebroadcast of DW a few hours later, whereas I doubt the Avatar season premiere will get a second airing anytime soon.
Wait a minute... 8:00? Zap2It says it's at 8:30.

I have the East Coast feed of Nick, so I get to enjoy it twice.
I saw the trailer for the new season last night. This is going to be seriously cool!

Huh? I'm in the Eastern time zone myself, but my schedule only shows one broadcast of Avatar, with no repeat.

My cable system provides two channels of Nickelodeon, Nick-east and Nick-west. blockaderunner probably has the same thing.

For example: during last season yo can clearly see Zuko's hair growing in little by little as well as Uncle Iro's beard growing in more and more while they're on the run.
I also heard this season the kids like Ang, Katarra and the rest will also look older.
I also like how the animation chages to show them aging.

I never noticed the characters aging, though they do change their hair styles. If they plan to go with some actual physical aging, then that should be interesting. I don't know of any animated shows that have done that.

Things I look fwd to :
1 - Sokka finding Sookie. She and her warriors are bound to be badly stung by their defeat and probable humiliation.
2 - Aang keeping Katara at a distance, thinking this will help him.
3 - Hints of Zuko's true allegiance.
4 - I'll drop my usual rant about villains winning too big with Azula. I suspect she'll own the heroes outright, for the first part of the season. But I do wonder if being based in Ba Sing Se will keep her from being the hunter she so obviously relishes being.
5 - Azula's posse wanting out.
6 - Certain posters here have raised logical objections to the comet helping the FN. While I don't know if such things apply in the world of ATLA, it would be a neat twist. In this light, I wondered if maybe the original FL victory wasn't what it seemed.

I don't think it's fair to call Avatar a pseudo-anime show. Although it is influenced by anime shows and films (especially Miyazaki) along with Asian culture in general, it's far from simply being an imitation of something else. It's something fresh and original all its own.

The same as Avatar??? Oh, gods, no. Not even close. For one thing, Avatar is far better animated. For another... my god, have you even looked at them? Totally Spies is a fairly slavish imitation of a conventional bishojo anime style. Avatar has a distinctive look whose closest equivalent in anime is the canon of Hayao Miyazaki, but in which the character design style is a blend of Western and Asian cartoon conventions. Code Lyoko has a bizarre character design style all its own, with angular features and enormous foreheads, totally unlike anything else.
Yes, they're all more or less influenced by anime styles, but they all do very different things with that influence. They're not "pretty much the same" any more than jazz, rockabilly, and heavy metal are pretty much the same. At most there's a common ancestor.

The Nick magazine spotlighting the third season (on stands now) shows Ang with hair now (although the blue arrow on his forehead is still visible) and teases that he won't necessarily be shaving it off so quickly out of necessity.

ok, they are all sorta influenced by anime, but they are closer to the look of anime than say something like Ren and Stimpy or The Simpsons.
Avatar does have a really good long story line as far as I can tell though, never was able to get into it, I tried a few times, but for whatever reason I couldn't ever see the epsiodes in order.
From what I can tell Avatar has some nice looking animation, while spies is kinda low quality french anime-like animation.

Thank you very much for the reminder, I would have been sad to have missed it.

Nice way to kick-off season 3 although Sokka really covered a lot of stuff in his explanation of what happened after Aang was struck down by that lightning blast from Azula. Is season 3 the last season for the show? I always assumed since each book/season was named after an element there would be 4 since we've had season 1(water), season 2(earth) and season 3 is fire. But that could just correspond to what Aang was learning and he already knows air.
Zuko how far have you fallen, ehhh Mai? lol. Should have stayed on the run and hooked up with that bounty hunter chick.
