Bendercast

In which Michelle and Hailey chew slowly and thoughtfully over “The Firebending Masters,” an episode which (in spite of certain drawbacks) certainly leaves them with what to work with on the philosophical side of things. They also discuss a rather surprising factoid about Iroh, make blatant reference to the not-so-subtle nods to “Indiana Jones”, and (in a return to form) even report a sliver of movie news. In addition, they ponder dragons and the time, and are quite proud to have produced this episode a mere five days after the previous one. (Go us. Totally.) Bendercast: Be like Toph and listen.

In which Michelle and Hailey return (yes, again) with the first NEW episode in a nearly unhealthy length of time, “The Western Air Temple.” It’s a touch on the brief side, but they do engage in some thought-provoking character discussion, a few thoughts on our old friend Combustion Man, and (most importantly) a summary of how they will progress with the final episodes of Book Three. Don’t forget to email your reactions to the finale!

Fact: The final nine episodes of our beloved show came out last week.

Fact: We were too entangled in our day-to-day lives to watch the episodes immediately.

Fact: A few hours ago, we purchased all of Book Three on iTunes, and as of about 20 minutes ago, have concluded our screening of the episodes up to and including the finale.

Fact: We are BLOWN AWAY by the JAW DROPPING spectacularity of Avatar’s conclusion. As in WE FREAKING LOVED IT.

Fact: We will therefore return (though of course, we would have done so anyway) with our recaps and in-depth discussions beginning with The Western Air Temple as soon as we possibly can.

Fact: Ergo, you, our dear, dear listeners, should most definitely stay tuned for for our new episodes, which should be released shortly.

Fact: Finally, you should in no way hesitate to begin emailing us (at bendercast@yahoo.com) with your reactions to the finale; our finale-’cast is sure to be packed to brim with our own opinions, and we really want to hear yours as well!

And so, at last, we are yours in Aang’s glowiness, Michelle and Hailey
