Description WOW.  What. A. Freaking. Season.

Not only did it manage to be better than season 1, but it had better writing, more developed characters, and villains that serve an actual threat. Princess Azulah serves as a great villain, her motivations make sense, and she's an nonredeemable jerk who torments her brother. The writing was solid, managing to not have plot holes within the episodes, and keeping a consistent pace throughout the season. All of the characters are well written, with Toph being a great example. Not only was her introduction episode action packed and fun, but it gave us an idea what her personality is. She's very likable from her first episode alone, and she serves as a main character in this season too. The action is just amazing, and it is certainly better than some of Book 1's action sequences. There are also multiple conflicts happening throughout this season, so spoilers for this part. One is Appa being captured by sand benders and leaving the Gaang without transportation, forcing them to travel to Ba Sing Se to retrieve him. A couple of episodes later, we see Appa traveling by himself and going through hell as he tries to find the Gaang. You really feel bad for Appa and seeing him treated as if he as a circus animal, and a monster, when he's only trying to return to Aang. He eventually returns to Aang and it's so heartwarming to see the relief on the Gaang's faces. Another conflict is Aang having to learn how to control the Avatar state. He figures this out in the episode The Earth King. He gets help from the Guru, who also helped Appa return to Aang, and needs to open 7 chakras to help him maintain himself in the Avatar state. He eventually learns all of this, while having to let Katara go, which is very heartbreaking. But he must do it in order to defeat the Sonzin Comet. He succeeds, but needs to help Katara, and by the finale, he learns to let go of Katara, and he is able to control the Avatar state, but something bad really happens. I won't spoil it for you, so you'll have to go see this show for yourself. But trust me, it is very much worth it. There are other twists and turns, but it will take me too long to explain them, so I won't be talking about those. You'll need to watch this season for yourself, like I said earlier.

This season also managed to receive 3 AWESOME EPISODES.   None of the other shows I've reviewed have managed to do that. The best episode with that rating is The Drill, which is the best episode of the show so far. It manages to have great pacing and great action, all while being a 22 minute episode. That is a great accomplishment. The season finale also manages to be a better finale than Book 1's finale as well. All of the episodes in this season are good, with the exception of Avatar Day, but it isn't that bad either. It's better than the Great Divide because it had better comedy and a better conflict, but didn't have the same great action than that episode. Still better than The Great Divide, because it had a better story behind it. Overall, Book 2 is a glorious (98%) season that manages to make the characters, writing, action, and conflicts go through the freaking roof in quality. It's a damn near perfect season, and this is truly the best season of the show by a longshot.
This show is seriously becoming one of my favorite cartoons of all time, and i'm so happy that I can watch Avatar on Netflix and experience the great things about it. There's a reason this show is still talked about even to this day. Like I said before, if you haven't seen this show, you should go see it right now, if you have Netflix. I can't wait to see what Book 3, the final season, has in store for me.
