Spoiler alert! This thread contains spoilers for Episode 306, The Avatar and The Firelord.
Okay, what a backstory. I'm all for character development, but I was sad about two episodes in a row. Other than that... ALL POSITIVES FOR THE EPISODE.
I was extremely happy about the way it was presented: how the episode showed the two growing up.
I don't really have all that much to say about it... it's just a backstory episode. I did enjoy it though.

Oh, right, and how it turned out that he was related to both the Firelord AND the Avatar? That gives him a whole new connection with Aang, I don't think he'll want to fight him anymore. I think because he is connected, he has the power to change it, just like Iroh said.
But... how did Iroh send him the messages? How did he get out of the cell to put them there? So confusing x.x

Hey in all seriousness do you guys think the new Iroh voice actor is good? I mean I couldn't tell the difference between the new guy and Mako

This was definately one of my favorite episodes in book 3 so far. I watch all the episodes on youtube, because I'm always away on Friday nights, and I was surprised to see that they were airing episodes up to 9!!!! One of which, I must say, was VERY disappointing. Gosh, it was horrible. I'm not going to say any more, but it was depressing.
Well, back to episode 306. I thought it was amazing. I loved how Aang and Zuko were learning the same story at the same time. And when Zuko found out that the avatar was also his great grandfather...well, my younger sibs and I were all watching it together and when Iroh said that all we could hear was "OOOOOHHh!!!!" lol. Now I am completely convinced that Zuko is going to switch to the good side. ^^ And on some tiny level, it makes me wonder if maybe Azula isn't going to be evil throughout the entire show either. Especially combined with The Beach, where she tries to actually act 'normal' and says it hurt her that her mother thought she was a monster.
As for Iroh's voice, I could definately tell the difference. There's no replacing Mako. But the new guy did a VERY good job. I thought it interesting that the 'new buff Iroh' had a 'new voice.' Tied in very nicely.

For Iroh's voice, I never even knew the actors changed. As for the episode, it was rather good I suppose. I liked when the fire lord and avatar were younger and getting along. It was kind of funny how Ruko was such a klutz in the beginning. Another thing that occurred to me is probably rather wrong but, If Zuko's grandfather on his mother's side was Ruko, the last avatar, than I find it an interesting coincidence that the only descendants of the avatar have disappeared or were banished. I don't know; just a thought.
