Reevaluation
First off, I want to announce that my strategy to reduce the time spent on my Avatar: The Last Airbender rewatch totally worked. I knocked the time down to about four hours per episode—I timed it, even, to make sure—and realized only then that I’d been grossly underestimating how much time I’d been spending originally. …

Above Water (So Far)
The Great Semiannual Panic has been haunting me and my department.

Book One: Water || Chapter Four: The Warriors of Kyoshi
Welcome to the fourth installment of my Avatar: The Last Airbender rewatch!

A Rough Road Ahead
The Great Semiannual Panic struck this week, and it struck hard. I spent all day Saturday working for my day job and spent the rest of the week working overtime or frantically trying to keep to my ATLA rewatch schedule. I had just enough buffer that I was able to hit my deadlines. I am …
Book One: Water || Chapter Three: The Southern Air Temple
Welcome to the third installment of my Avatar: The Last Airbender rewatch! Today’s post will be covering “The Southern Air Temple.” Episode 1.03 is filled with lots of lying, poor emotional coping, and being terrified about writing Zuko when it’s supposed to be Zhao. Please note that while the summary will remain spoiler free (aside …
