*longing sigh*

The past couple of days I started feeling very nostalgic for my old-school fandoms.

Like, yesterday I was wondering if in the two? three? years since I've been out of Saiyuki, has anyone written any new Yaone het?

And also, I was reminiscing about the days prior to Avatar's finale and the casting!fail of the movie, when Suki was climbing up walls and my love for Zutara burned like a fiery heart.

Season Two was the high point of the series, imho. Season three had some pretty sloppy writing going on, so the episodes were hit-or-miss...mostly miss. I liked a few of them: Painted Lady, Western Air Temple, Southern Raiders, but they needed to focus on the plot and getting Zuko over to the Gaang a LOT EARLIER so they didn't have to go through awkward Zuko/Gaang episodes.

And then the creators kind of...failed at romance for season three. A lot. And at character development. And at...shit. *goes back to Siege of the North and Crossroads of Destiny*

I agree - there were pacing issues which I really think affected a lot of the characterization that was going on in season 3. Season two was much tighter and seemed to be telling a much more realistic and epic story.

No argument here.
