They also discuss a rather surprising factoid about Iroh, make blatant reference to the not-so-subtle nods to “Indiana Jones”, and (in a return to form) even report a sliver of movie news. In addition, they ponder dragons and the time, and are quite proud to have produced this episode a mere five days after the previous one. (Go us. Totally.) Bendercast: Be like Toph and listen.

They also ponder the implications of a Certain Crush, imagine Katara going up against each of Ozai’s Angels in correspondence with a different skill set, and miss Zuko. They conclude with their longest News section yet, and, if you can believe it, become even more excited about the coming Avatar films than before. Bendercast: Be like Toph and listen.

However, they swallow their sadness and celebrate Toph’s awesomeness while welcoming a new member to the Gaang and expressing mild disgust at sweat and Oedipaly-tinged issues. Michelle and Hailey also offer their heartfelt thanks to all of their listeners, without whom they would not have the strength to resist the lure of Internet episodes.
