Monocle and Sokka have become SCIENCE BROS. Wanting it to stay that way, Aang elects not to go inside. He then leads Aang to the sanctuary, which, as only an airbender can open it, should be the only part of the temple that’s completely untouched. Teo whips out a cool metaphor about the wildlife that lives in the temple, explaining that things may have changed in the past century, but the critters are the direct descendants of the ones who lived there when the airbenders did. The guy wants to build a world where his disabled son can fly. I get where you’re coming from, dude, but… they live there now. Monocle for doing renovation work on the sacred temple.

Monocle used his science/engineering know-how to make the place habitable, installing a series of tubes ( it’s not a truck!) to carry hot air around.Īang, continuing his trend of being a little bit of a dipshit-a dipshit driven by completely understandable emotional impulses, but still a dipshit-judges Mr. Monocle-led the refugees to the temple, which by that point had been abandoned. Teo’s father-who’s in the credits only as “The Mechanist,” but I’m gonna call him Mr. The most adept of those is a boy named Teo, who we learn later ended up in a wheelchair after a flood destroyed his village when he was a baby. When they get to the temple Aang gets pissy because what he discovers isn’t airbenders, but a group of people who spend all day having fun on hang gliders. Guess.Īlso, brilliant line from Aang: “I laugh at gravity all the time! Ahahhaah gravity.” Would you say he’s… Guess which of his companions is encouraging and optimistic and which one thinks he’s going off on a wild turkey-goose chase. hear about a secret group of air walkers, which makes Aang think there might actually be airbenders still living in the Northern Air Temple. Let’s talk about what actually went down in this episode. You think “The Northern Air Temple” is going to go all SCIENCE BAD. We do get an episode where a character veers into “Technological progress is bad! Stop disrespecting history! No change!” territory, but then by the end he realizes he was maybe kind of being a little bit of a jerkwad. He also taunts Zhao by saying “I don’t know why, but I thought you’d be better than Zuko.” Meanwhile, Zuko, off in the distance:Īang, having won the fight by using Zhao’s own aggression against him, peaces out with Katara and Sokka, who bicker about Katara’s newfound healing abilities.īUT. Realizing that Jeong Jeong was right about Zuko lacking control, Aang takes the fight to the Admiral’s ships and tricks him into burning his ride home down. So then Zhao and Aang fight, only Aang avoids the temptation to firebend and instead uses his airbending and dodging prowess to make Zhao look really flipping incompetent. Jeong Jeong refuses to fight and instead uses some firebending trick to escape. Firebenders, led by Admiral Zhao, show up. Jeong Jeong says he wishes he had that, since fire only brings destruction and pain. Katara’s fine, though, because it turns out she has waterbender healing powers. Man, Aang’s fucked up in two episodes running now. I think they both have the right of it, frankly. Sokka loses his shit, as does Jeong Jeong, who shows up and tells Aang to GTFO. Only Aang gets a bit too into it and starts flinging fire around, which ends with him accidentally burning Katara. Jeong Jeong goes off to do something old and curmudgeonly and wise, leaving Aang to complete a boring training task.
