The End of Avatar...
was just kinda bad.
Compare it to "The Siege of The North" at the end of Season 1, which was shorter, had more character development, better characterization, wrapped up more loose ends, and managed to contain more drama and a chunk of exciting action.
edit: Talking with Alexis, I sum thusly: "In the whole two hours not one character was ever faced with a meaningful or significant choice or obstacle." Compare, again, to the ends of season one and two.
