Hmm, how did you find this online? I thought shows weren't usually available till later...otherwise, sounds pretty much like what I was guessing, as there's still at least another season of Avatar left.

It just takes some searching the internet for certain websites/video sites. Not all that hard.
Azure Kite:
Even though some message boards say that, I doubt that Avatar is bigger in popularity than Naruto. Seriously, that's just 1 or 2 boards, plus Naruto has time on it's side.
When I think of anime, I think of Japanese animation, so for Avatar, I don't see it as true anime, but I see Avatar as an American anime.
Personally, I find Avatar to be one of the better TV shows on right now.
Oh, and the one hour special was pretty cool.

This season certainly seems more aimed at teens I think.

Yeah, that last episode with the blood bending didn't seem like it was for kids. I really like where the Avatar story is going so far, and I'm enjoying it more than Naruto.

This is its third and final season. There's been talk of a fourth, but it's all baseless speculation as of now.

How is it that you come to think it is the final season? I don't think there has been word of this being the last season...
And anyways, 4 seasons make perfect sense, considering each "Book" is part of the 4 elements/avatar cycle (Water, Earth, Fire, Air).

Four seasons doesn't make sense. The comet that Aang has to stop will arrive at the end of the third season, so when he stops it, the series will have come to culmination. What would a potential fourth season even be about?

Yeah...you do realize all of those articles aren't exactly recent, save for the last link (and even then it's always best to take news you find on a non-official forum with a grain of salt anyways). Besides, a live-action film of Avatar with Shyamalan is a very creepy idea, especially if it gets made... There's plenty more of Avatar to explore to easily warrent a 4th season, and just because Nickelodeon hasn't ordered a season 4 yet doesn't mean there won't be one.
Also, why is everyone convinced the season will end with Book 3? Anyone ever entertain the possibility the Comet might not even arrive this season? You have to admit, the show is usually ambiguous about what day/week exactly it is, unless specifically mentioned (ie, next episode takes place 4 days before the Eclipse). And ok, even if the comet does come at the end of Season 3, what if Aang fails to stop it? There's easily enough from that idea there to go on to Season 4.
So yes, 4 seasons in my mind still makes perfect sense. 4 elements, 4 seasons. I mean, why else bother naming each season after an element in the Avatar cycle? Besides, Avatar is easily the best show Nickelodeon has had in a very, very long while, and I doubt they're going to end it after only 3 seasons.

Okay, so the articles aren't recent. But at least I'm coming up with links, right? The only thing you have going for you is that Air comes after Fire in the Avatar cycle, and that's not exactly persuasive.
Here's what Avatar Roku said in the eighth episode of the show: "Sozen's comet will return at the end of the summer, and Fire Lord Ozai will use its power to win the war once and for all. Aang, you must defeat the Fire Lord before the comet arrives!" The comet will arrive this season (Book Three: Fire = summer).
The comet only comes around once every 100 years. This is Aang's only chance to stop it - if he doesn't, the world is basically done for. And since he's the hero of this show, he WILL stop it. Besides, Roku told him that if he couldn't stop Ozai in time, even the Avatar wouldn't be able to restore balance to the world. You should watch "The Winter Solstice: Part II" again, that's where these facts are coming from.
Aang was a full-blown airbender (good pun!) right off the bat. The first season was entitled "Book One: Water" because it was the winter season, and also because that was the season in which Aang learned to waterbend. If we get a Book Four: Air, what will Aang do? No war to stop, no element to master... You suggested that the comet might not come until a fourth season, but I've already debunked that.
If more Avatar seasons are ordered, they will most likely feature all new characters and an all new plotline. It will be a whole different arc altogether. I can't remember where I read that, exactly - I think it was on Distant Horizons, an Avatar nerd forum that I frequent.

So? It's just as persuasive as the fan speculation the one link has. Also, how does a live-action movie have any impact with future seasons within the series anyways?
Yeah yeah, I've seen the Winter Solstice episodes plenty of times, thank you. And my response: So? Just cause Roku says that doesn't necessarily mean that it will happen should the comet come and Aang doesn't stop it. Roku is kind of dead, and I don't think he can foresee the future; heck, he could have just said that to install a sense of urgency in Aang for all I care. Until the story says so otherwise or something is announced from an official source, no one knows what's going to happen down the road, so any basis for speculation from what Roku said can be right or wrong until it is revealed.
Just cause you're convinced everything will come to pass in this season doesn't mean the rest of us think that as well. For one, I still don't believe everything will be resolved this season, regardless of the comet coming or not. You have not debunked anything by the way, as you have no solid proof of when the comet will arrive. Summer is a long season, and can easily go into a 4th season I believe.
Yeah...trust fan speculaiton, why don't ya?
Either way, I'm not going to debate this any further, as debating ends up being pointless since neither side yields to the other anyways. Believe what you want, and I'll believe what I want.

And isn't what you're doing just fan speculation, as well? Whatever, let's just drop this.

Yeah, lol :lol:
Anyways, new Avatar on later tonight, and then the 2-part episode next week. And then a long, boring break till Spring before it starts again more than likely >.>

"Nightmares and Daydreams" is indeed on tonight, but the Day of Black Sun special isn't the week after. There's a Spongebob marathon going on that day. DoBS will air on the 30th (two weeks from today).

Meh...I forgot about that Spongebob marathon. No offense to Spongebob (it's an ok show), but it just fails compared to Avatar.

The one-hr special is great...

That, my friend, is due to the fact that the episodes air in Canada much earlier. Gotta love those Canadians eh? In fact, I've already seen The Day of Black Sun special. And

Aang hasn't even started learning Firebending yet. Wasn't there some episode in one of the first two seasons where he meets a firebender outside the fire nation? (I think I missed that episode).
There is wayyy too much to be finalized for there to be only one hour left in the show. Fire bending, Zuko, Aang-Katarra. It really doesn't feel like we are one hour from everything being done.

Well, it's not all going to be done yet, the hour long special will end the first half of season 3.
And if I remember correctly, in Season 1 Aang met that one Firebending master that had left the Fire Nation and was on the run, so Aang learned the extreme basic ideas of Firebending from him that one day. But then he accidentally got too playful with the fire and singed Katara's eyes, Zuko and Zhao show up, chaos ensues, and they all split up on the run.
