I Am All In Rewatch - Episode 2x13
I gotta tell you, I I watched that.. the scene in the diner, and then the scene at the picnic between those two and with Luke and Lorelai and I just you know, I miss working with her. I thought we were great together. I thought that was just magic. I really thought it was funny. And I mean, how else I don't know how I got away with being so uh, I don't know, just just such a hardass....I think that's one of the reasons because I really kind of dug that attitude. You don't see that that attitude is so misplaced in that show. It's like what what I mean. It's like it's almost reaching Yanic levels of of sarcasm... I just was surprised that all of the resistance, like I'm not participating in this ridiculous thing, Taylor. You know, It's like it was funny. I really enjoyed watching it because I didn't expect it. I just didn't expect it, and I didn't expect how Luke was at the picnic and she started getting all mooney with me a little bit....He knew what he was saying to her. She was romancing him. She was telling him that she has a crush on him and that she's in love with him. She's basically saying that. That's how I read it. So it was like this complete reversal, and it was not like episodes before. It's like my friend, my friend, and she's not no. I mean, we're just friends and this kind of thing. But now suddenly during Tisket and Tasket, she I think she she kind of owned her feelings a little bit and opened up to him in the gazebo and it made him uncomfortable a little bit... I was very charming. I thought she was very charming in that scene, and I thought that..It was my favorite, uh so far, my favorite Luke and Lorelai scene, that gazebo scene. I love that scene. I really loved it. Yeah, yeah, I just I really enjoyed it. I really did. -Scott

It’s been a long time since I read this series but…“A good girl’s guide to murder” is one of the best book series I’ve read.

More Than Just Laughs
Something I love about ATLA is its handling of the characters. One of my favorites from it (and that's saying a lot since I enjoy so many) is Sokka. (Spoilers ahead)
Very easily, he could've been just the comedic relief. I've seen characters where they exist to make a joke and for no other reason. If they were real people, you'd probably try to have them go get therapy because clearly, joking is their coping mechanism for everything. Sokka's not like that. Sure, he's funny, but he's also the team leader. I do not think I have ever seen a show/movie/read a book where the main comedic relief is also the group leader. I love that. It's so unique. Automatically, it sets him up as more than someone you're not supposed to take seriously because you are supposed to take him seriously. He's in charge of this group of people who are going to stop the world from being burnt to ashes. On top of it, he's genuinely a good leader. It's not one of those times where the characters keep telling you someone can lead. Sokka has proven his skill with various plans like on the day of black sun and at Boiling Rock to name a couple.
One of the best episodes for Sokka was "Jet." I enjoyed that because it gave a contrast to their leadership styles and tested the Water Tribe boy. Everyone there thought Jet was the better leader. He seemed more commanding, he was cool, he could fight, etc., but Sokka was able to still come out on top and save innocent lives even when his own sister didn't believe him.
Sokka is just so smart too. Outside of plans, he's great with inventions (it's okay that he has 0 art skills. Not everyone needs those) and offers a nice pragmatic viewpoint for the group. He's a realist with what they should and can do. A very cool/hard moment from him to me was in the final episodes while they're training with the Melon Lord. Even though it's just a melon, he demonstrates a willingness to get the job done and kill if it means more lives will be saved in the process. This isn't standard of a "joke character." Yet, Sokka can pull it all off without something seeming forced.
Sokka can be this goofy guy who is higher than the clouds on cactus juice without it seeming weird for him. His luck is terrible and we can laugh at that, him becoming the butt of the joke.
Then, we can also see Sokka really trying to figure out his skills and his place on the team in terms of combat. Him learning from Master Piandao was amazing. He's been this cocky kid so much, but he truly was humble here and it's why he was trained. Sokka still was by no means a master swordsman, but he did what he had to do to get better and be able to protect his friends.
Sokka is also a good big brother. I think people forget about his protective some because Katara is such a master, but I think it says something that the only time he really got aggressive with Aang was after he burned Katara. Besides that, it was great to watch him go from an ignorant, sexist guy to someone who could rely and be relied on by such amazing female characters. The moment of him standing up for Katara in "The Painted Lady" was an underrated sweet moment too.
Also, let's not forget that Combustion Man died because of Sokka's AMAZING aim with that boomerang. Again, he's cool with killing if it'll help.
I mean, maybe we should be concerned by that smile...but it's Sokka. Can't stay disturbed by him for long. He's great. Just ask Suki.
