Avatar: The Last Airbender: Babylon 5 reference??

[syllabaanceps]

When Iroh says to his nephew:

"It's time to look inward and start asking yourself the big questions: Who are you and what do you want?" 

All I could think was "Are you a Shadow or a Vorlon, Iroh, make up your mind!!!"

I have to imagine this was an intentional reference to Babylon 5, though, and in a pretty major story moment.

My favorite episode so far is probably The Tales of Ba Sing Se. It really shows the power of short animation segments similar to how Steven Universe works. That episode made me laugh and cry pretty strongly. So sad that Mako who voice acted Iroh died after season 2. :-(

I'm enjoying Season 2 more than Season 1 cause it's less formulaic and there's more character growth among all the characters. Also Toph is awesome!

New Character rankings:

Iroh
Katara
Toph
Zuko
Appa
Momo
Aang
Ty Lee 
Sakka
Azula
Mai

Only frustrating part is when some episodes feel like the characters aren't written quite right and behave in ways that it's hard to imagine the characters behaving.

Edited to add Aang.

Katara above Toph, interesting! And where is Aang? :) Iroh and Toph are my overwhelming favorites but I'm not sure after that.

Oh, I'm not sure I have a preference for who's on top when it comes to Katoph! 😳

I forgot Aang. I'll add him back in just below Appa and Momo. He might be a bit lower on my chart due to jealous feelings regarding Katara and how I want her to be gay. 😅

Iroh is my favorite and then Katara and Toph in some order.
