Awesome/Ellie is pretty much one of my favorite ships ever.
The problem with the pairing is that what works just fine for "12-year-old with a crush and the girl who will probably reciprocate once he grows up" doesn't work for the epic love story they wanted it to be in season 3.
I know what you mean. The thing that gets me most is that EIP portrayed it so well--Aang is still in some ways just a kid who can't distinguish reality from what he sees onstage, Katara is still dealing with unexpected professions from his side, a war, and sorting out her own feelings, and maybe they could have something but she doesn't think now is the time--and then it's like, well, I guess now IS the time, 'cause I'm a-gonna smooch you now!
