but before i do my hw, i just wanted to say…

I didn’t really think about it before, but Avatar is unique in that it’s NOT filler-heavy, but constantly moving forward in the story. People complain and get annoyed at filler episodes in…well, most long-running series. Bleach and Naruto are two that come to mind immediately, but this goes for non-animated shows as well. But it’s important to have filler once in a while, or at least the kind of filler that gives you a look into the character’s personal lives, into what’s going on inside, what they do when they’re not moving or fighting. It adds an important dimension to the story, I think.
