In which Michelle and Hailey discover numerous parallels between Aang’s current plight and their midterms, and successfully incorporate their first sound-bite. They also discuss Aang’s hilariously terrifying dreamscapes, rejoice in Zuko’s return and ponder the dark underbelly of Appa and Momo’s relationship. And oh, yes… The Beard is back. Good times.

Hi everyone! We apologize for the relatively short notice, but we’ve had an idea for our upcoming “Nightmares and Daydreams” episode. Instead of the two of us discoursing endlessly about our own ideas (though we will probably have some of that, too!) we’d love it if you would email us your questions or short predictions for “The Day of Black Sun” and beyond.

Just a few qualifications:

• Please do not send anything involving or referring to spoilers.
• Please try to keep your questions or theories short and precise.
• This is the ‘Express Checkout,” so no more than 5 questions or theories per person.

Send it all to bendercast@yahoo.com, and we look forward to hearing from you!

In which Michelle and Hailey are a little creeped out by “The Puppetmaster,” but still manage to discuss the many significant implications of the episode. They also ponder the implications of a Certain Crush, imagine Katara going up against each of Ozai’s Angels in correspondence with a different skill set, and miss Zuko. They conclude with their longest News section yet, and, if you can believe it, become even more excited about the coming Avatar films than before.

In which Michelle and Hailey are usurped in their functions as name-givers and psycho-analyzers by Sokka and Katara, respectively. However, they swallow their sadness and celebrate Toph’s awesomeness while welcoming a new member to the Gaang and expressing mild disgust at sweat and Oedipaly-tinged issues. Michelle and Hailey also offer their heartfelt thanks to all of their listeners, without whom they would not have the strength to resist the lure of Internet episodes.
