Well sorry for the misinformation but I got the definition right, which is what matters. I could have sworn that it was the Pokemon fandom that had created the term, though. I guess the Star trek fandom realized the term was silly and decided to make sure people like me wouldn't associate it with it. Can't say I blame them.

its just short for "relationshipping". that's the kind of term older trekkies would have used, as it sounds archaic.

edit: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shippin...m%29#Etymology
started with k/s slash shippers

the more u know

Pokemon is fairly recent by show standards, shipping was around in the 80's. And Power Rangers before that. I think you might just be thinking about all those obsessive Misty fans who still think the writers are going to have her come back and declare her love for Ash, even though her character was abandoned over 12 years ago now and the writers clearly don't care about her anymore.

I thought they brought Misty back at one point?????

Yeah the swamp episode was pretty good and does lead to a new character in the next few episodes.

I got a question why the hell are we catering to CyberCube????Holding his hand as he walks through the damn series???

I'd hazard a guess that it's because it's tempting to watch him rant and moan

His eccentricity is excellent.

I only really open this thread to laugh at his posts.

*CyberCubed* · 09-12-2014, 11:58 AM

Well this is my thread so I'm watching the series and commenting as I go. Anyone who wants to discuss it is free to do so.

I do admit Season 2 (I refuse to call it Book 2, this is a cartoon and not Harry Potter) is an improvement over Season 1. Even the filler is better.

*plastroncafe* · 09-12-2014, 12:01 PM

That's because you're a filthy casual.

*CyberCubed* · 09-12-2014, 04:13 PM

To this show I am very casual. That's why I won't join any Avatar fandom' still I see this show through.

Forgot to mention what was with that guy "frothing at the mouth" and fainting when he thought Aang returned to that water tribe village? Was that some kind of meme or inside joke I'm not aware of? It's an animated gif I've seen floating around forums a few times too.

I can't remember, but the cabbage guy is

*CyberCubed* · 09-12-2014, 06:17 PM

Watched the next episodes. Is the little girl Earth bender a permanent main character for the rest of the series? She reminds me of someone from another show but I can't pinpoint who.

Also I don't understand Zuko's backstory. Is his entire family filled with such cold-hearted villains except his mother and uncle? It seems like his father, grandfather and Azula have no concern for anyone but themselves. Did Azula really enjoy seeing her mother die? At least that's what I assumed happened, her mother sacrificed herself so Zuko would live?

Azula seems interesting but she's just evil and cold-hearted for no reason. Since we saw her as a kid like that way too it can't be something that happened in her past.

1) yes Toph stays forever~
2) er...all I can say is keep watching I guess??
3) Azula is...complicated.....needless to say she definitely takes after her dad.

*CyberCubed* · 09-13-2014, 01:08 AM

Zuko is getting a bit...emo-ish, lately. He's constantly crying and talking about what a failure he is and how everything blows up in his face. I mean how much longer is he going to mope?

That giant owl thing in the library was pretty cool. I find it funny they didn't care that researcher died probably died and had his head mounted on a wall.

*Netkeeper* · 09-13-2014, 01:25 AM

Toph does get to stay with them and she is the best character.

Well how would you feel if your mother left, your father hated you, you were banished from your land, had to become a hobo, can't find the avatar, and aren't as perfect as your sister??

For a few episodes that would be fine, but he's constantly like that now. I mean he's just a depressing mope now.

I wish he would put on that mask and swords and just start robbing people again.

well until something good happens...why would he stop being depressed???

He's learning to deal. He's going through his own character development and robbing people isn't going to help him grow.

Probably water off a duck's back for Cubed. He'd be far more angry at characters omitted from Smash Bros

Thanks. I was really just having some harmless fun with him. I just find it funny how he seems to obsess over the smallest of things.

What episode is he at? I love watching Cubed get through a show like this.
