I have to say, these third season episodes have had some crazy delays. Any particular reason for this?

If you're referring to why the US broadcast is slower than the rest of the world, I think its just Nick US being morons. They think Spongebob is their best show...

I know that Avatar and Danny Phantom (another I show I liked on Nick) had episodes airing in other countries first before the US. Teen Titans also had that going on as well when it was still playing.

From the looks of Canada's YTV schedule, we should be getting a new episode on the 11th and 18th. Check the topic every friday and see if theres'a new episode.

No new Avatar in Canada, but apparently 314 is entitled The Boiling Rock Part 1, while 315 is The Boiling Rock Part 2.

Some fans think it's got something to do with a prison, and hopefully a jailbreak.

Well, Looking at the TV Guide website. it says the next time Avatar is going to air it will
Fri, Feb 29 8:30 PM(US Eastern Time)on Nickelodeon. It does not list the name of the episode, but hopefully it will be a new one. Whether it airs outside the US before then or not I do not know.

And on that, has anybody tried to watch the so called 'leaks' that I have seen? It looks like a bounch of spam bullshit to me, but it says they have season 3 epsisodes 14-17 on them, so if someone is willing to risk the spyware invasion to see, if ya wouldn't mind giving some feedback on those.

Considering Season 3 Vol 3 DVD release date, new episodes could very well not air till April. There's no info on when Nick will air new episodes. They're too busy catering to the ignorant little bastards that find a sponge more fancinating then a bunch of kids controlling fire, water, air and earth.

Trouble is, this show has continuity like an episode of Lost or Heroes, and Nick doesn't grant the same type of air dates and hiatus times like those shows. It just... floats in limbo till they remember it or something.

I've yet to see anything on Nick regarding the return of Avatar, but if they chose to drop Zoey 101 over the whole Jamie Lynn being pregnant thing, that's X more time for them to slip in Avatar. Here's hoping for an avatarful 2008!

Unless they delay the DVD releases, the worst case scenario is that we get new episodes in May.

And they know it will be retarded to not air the episodes before the DVD release. I have a feeling that SOMETHING will be announced soon. Someone who worked in the Nick Avatar magazine states that he hears that they will announce something Avatar episode related at thr NY Comic Con, which starts on April 18th.

And Kid's Choice Awards last night announced that Avatar one the Best Cartoon award, beating the living shit out of the sea sponge. If this doesn't tell Nick that fans are desperate for episodes, I don't know WHAT.

EDIT:

The creators are going to NY Comic Con! There will be previews for the upcoming episodes and they will talk about FINALE!!!

Everyone's watched Boiling Rock, right?

Fuckin' awesome. I'm so glad the hiatus was broken by two excellent episodes~ I TOTALLY did not predict the ending at all:

Spoiler:
Mai turning on Azula (and her own country) was a shock, but seeing Ty Lee side with Mai was killer. Must be tough for the perfect Fire Nation princess to be betrayed, eh? Wonder if this will bring change to her character/personality at all?


After Boiling Rock there's only five more episodes, right? How the hell are they gonna end this series in five episodes??

Six, actually. They're going to have to end it in six episodes.

Episode titles:

316 - The Southern Raiders (flashback episode, it seems)
317 - The Ember Island Players (clip show, kinda)
318 - Part 1 of 4-part Finale
319 - Part 2 of 4-part Finale
320 - Part 3 of 4-part Finale
321 - Part 4 of 4-part Finale

Saw Boiling Rock, totally agreed that the end part was a twist, and as for Azula? The Comic Con trailer indicates that she will slowly get unhinged....

Unless Canada airs episodes early, we now all have to wait for July for the rest of the episodes. Also Southern Raiders is not just a flashback episode...

Spoiler:
Its the episode where Katara will confront the people who murdered her mother, Zuko goes with her.

Zuko sure is getting himself in Sokka/Katara's good graces, huh?

Boiling Rock was great, except for the part when Azula flies a la Iron Man. That was a bit too much, really. My opinion of Ty Lee and especially Mai went up a lot. Way to go, girls.

Apparently, Nick has released the novelization of the Avatar finale in a 64-page children's book.

Two months before the finale will air.

I am giving advance notice that any spoilers will make me very sad, and I will probably be boycotting this thread for fear of spoilers until the episodes air

Episode air dates for US and Canada, once again Canada seems to be in the lead

avatar_fans: New Episode Air Date

The new Nick magazine had an Ad Blurb (not even a full page announcement) that new episode start Monday July 14th, and then they are gonna play every weeknight, and the finale is set for July 19th. Note that they didn't advertise it as series finale, but a 2 hour special.

With Canada, people have check YTV's website and it claims that new episodes will come on July 4th (which is one day before my birthday)

Keep in mind, that Canada's new episode should be the Boiling Rock Part 1 and 2, whereas the US hasn't even air The Western Air Temple yet. When it comes to which country will air the show faster, it's coming close to a tie. On one hand, we will probably get Southern Raiders first from Canada, on the other hand, we may get the series finale in the US first since they are all playing in one week.

So, good news for us? We actually have air dates, so the wait its almost over. Bad news? The whole "shove the show's final episodes in one week" is the same BS that Danny Phantom had to go through, and mind you this was also a show that had a older demographic, and Nick decided to drop it cause apparently idiots don't know how to make toys out of a Super Hero cartoon and therefore is not profitable despite a solid fanbase.

It seems to be that Nick again doesn't get the show and does not know how to make toys out of the show either. We got Aang and Sokka figures, but not girls at all (cause Mattel is sexist).

Avatar Toys - The Last Airbender action figures and toys

It has a much wider demographic like Harry Potter, and its not something 5 year olds are gonna understand easily. Despite having ratings that rival football, dedicated fanbase, and having won the Kids Choice Awards against the retarded but popular Spongebob, it seems like there's some moron in Nick that doesn't get the show. At all. Probably never even seen an episode. Cause shoving the final episodes and wrapping it up in one week are rerserved for shows that Nick wants to get over and done with.

While I am happy to finally get news on air dates, Nick's constand mishandling of things has made the finale feel more sore than it already is. No good marketing to speak of, lousy sexist toy manufacturing, has no idea when to place episodes to air, had episodes appearing first on DVD instead of airing it first due to the retarded Jamie Lyn Spears scandal, released a book that spoils the finale 2 months before it will air, and just being plain stupid.

Let us all hope that whatever spin off or future series Mike and Byran wanna make, it will somehow get made. And let's also hope that Shamaylan will do a good job with those live action films.
