The Avatar Weekend.

The torrents have been fruitful. Only a few more hours, and two more episodes to go. I had to choose between the Avatar: The Legend of Aang Finale (and an afternoon with the family) or an afternoon screening of afternoon screening of The Dark Knight.

Sorry Ledger, baby saliva always win.

The wait is over

The first episode of the last season of Battlestar Galactica aired last Friday. All that's left is the remaining season of Avatar and the third Volume of Heroes.

The Boiling Rock gets a deadline.

Good news from TVshowsonDVD.com. According to one of their articles, the third volume of the Season 3 DVD set of Avatar: the Last Airbender will be out by the 6th of May.

This means that "The Boiling Rock: Part 1" and "The Boiling Rock: Part 2" should air on TV before then.

This is basically a confirmation from another source (aside from Amazon.com) of the DVD's release date. Still late, yes, but at least the estimates for the wait for the new episodes is now before mid-May.

Yes, the wait still sucks.

Avatarded

There's this rumor floating around that Episode 14 of Book 3 of Avatar: the Last Airbender, The Boiling Rock Part 1, will air today at around 8:30 pm in Argentina, their time.

This, supposedly from an insider in the production unit that was responsible for dubbing the series into the local language. The "source" claims that the people responsible for dubbing, are actually done with the whole season already. And that they're just waiting for the episodes to air to admire their work.

It's already around 8:44, my time, so I guess we'll all find out in an hour or so. (Accounting for the probable 12 hour difference, and the upload time to the intertubes.)

EDIT: Oh well, it was too good to be true.

Waiting sucks

Since Nickelodeon is incredibly delayed with their air-schedule of Book III of Avatar: The Last Airbender, and Canada's YTV -- our last hope for up-to-date Avatar -- decided to re-run Avatar from the start, we'll probably have to wait until mid March or early April to catch a new episode of Avatar.

The new title is rumored to be "The Boiling Rock" by the way, and it's said to be a two part shindig. Current popular speculation regarding the episode is that it's a "great escape" story, focusing on all the characters that have been captured by the Fire Nation so far. I'm thinking that most people supporting this theory just plain miss Suki. The other theory is that it's a firebendiny-avatary-element-mixing-training episode where Aang learns to bend lava.

Personally, I'm hoping it's a White Lotus episode. We seriously need a big reveal when it comes to that secret organization. I mean, come on, there's been enough teasing about it across so many episodes.

Yes, I like Iroh, the old fart. Sue me.

Anyhow, given the long and tiresome wait, I'm willing to bet that the next volume of Heroes will air earler than the new Avatar episode (NBC did promise march-ish). Who knows?

Damnit, this avatard is going through Avatar withdrawal and he doesn't like it.
