Fair enough, and I'm never one to assume that the presence of child protagonists automatically relegates something to the confines of "young adult fiction," for example. (Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials trilogy is not young adult fiction, to my mind.) But published fiction and television broadcasts have different standards, and I think that's where Avatar ran afoul. I think Avatar as published fiction could have done what needed to be done, but broadcast Avatar could not.

Third season definitely pulls its punches. I would be curious to read how you (or Ben) might have executed the ending differently. Where does it come off the rails for you, and why?
