Mostly the First does a pretty good job mimicking the people it pretends to be (though I've seen interesting commentary on how it gets Dru wrong). Not so Jonathan. First!Jonathan sounds nothing like our real-world Jonathan, but rather a slimier version of Superstar!Jonathan. Maybe our Jonathan was too dithery and self-effacing to convince anyone of anything? Or maybe the First just couldn't deal with pretending to be that humble.

Also, you know that one flashback to Mexico where we see Andrew and Jonathan sharing a bed? I've always wondering about fannish consensus for that scene. Hence, a poll!

oh yes, and I'm still watching AtLA

On deird1's recommendation, I've been watching Avatar: the Last Airbender again. If I'm going to do it justice, I should probably say something about the excellent pacing, the purposefulness of the plot, the surprising complexity of the character arcs, and other such stuff.

But really, all I want to talk about is the fact that I JUST WATCHED A HAIKU BATTLE.

Also, that the show is unbelievably gorgeous. Each of the four elements has its own color scheme. Earth kingdom, my favorite, is all rich greens and golds and earth tones, but each culture has its own fashions, architecture, and decor. Just gorgeous. I love it.
