One fan's history with Avatar: The Last Airbender

Sneak of lb_lee asked:

How did you get into Avatar, originally? What did you love most about it?

I first watched the show in 2010, a couple of years after it ended.(1) My then-boyfriend Mark got me into it by telling me it was a cool show with Asian-style cultures and protagonists, and after I watched the show on any online source I could find I married Mark so I could get my hands on his DVDs.(2)

( DS9 parallels, moral clarity and complexity, mild Trek & LotR criticism )
