I'm currently about to finish my second watching of Avatar: The Last Airbender and while I really think this is one awesome series, Book Three felt a bit rushed to me.
Book One-learn waterbending.
Book Two-learn eartbending.
Book Three-Suko finally changes his mind, Team Avatar learns to accept Suko, learn firebending, crisis of cosncience, AND the big badass final confrontation.
Does anybody else feel there should have been Book Four, with Three being about Suko changing sides, the team eventually getting around to accepting him, Aang learning firebending, the jailbreak etc while Book Four should have dealt with Aang's crisis of conscience and the workup to the final confrontation? Or was that not enough material for a complete season?

The pace had to increase, things were getting serious. You can't take the same kind of time you'd had in the previous seasons, especially given the finale of season 2.

Book 4 would have been an epilogue at best.

The books are based on what he had to learn/deal with. Water, earth, Fire.

Wow, thanks for that bit of insight. I never would have figured that out.
My point was to me, they crammed too much into Book Three on TOP of learning firebending.
I now DO agree an additional full season would probably have been too much, but a few more episodes would have been nice, especially as they went over the 20 episode format for Book Three ANYWAY.
Or maybe Have Book Three be as I described it, and have an abridged Book Four (say 5-10 episodes) to close up the series.

I gotta disagree Bats. I admit I would have prefered more foreshadowing of the Lion Turtle and Aang's out maybe Aang having to actually seek out and find said Lion Turtle. The blunt matter is they were working on a deadline and had to meet it. They said that the comet would show up in X amount of time and had to wrap the series at that point.

Means an in universe time limit. NOT a limit on the number of episodes they could do WITHIN that time limit.
