Sokka's Master

Review of Avatar: The Last Airbender episode
Book 3: Fire
Chapter 4: Sokka's Master

Sokka's Master is the well anticipated fourth episode of Avatar: The Last Airbender, and is extremely good character development for Sokka. It also shows that although Sokka may not have that much bending (OK, none at all!) he is still a very important member of the Gaang, and obviously key to their success.

In the episode, Sokka decides he is unworthy of the Gaang, who have all this bending, and goes to train with a master;
Swordmaster Piandao. The Swordmaster trains Sokka in the art of wielding a sword, and also lets him create his own sword! That part I found really cool, as Sokka crafts a beautiful dark black and shiny sword, and made me think of slight similarities with Jedi, as they create their own lightsabers.

The end of the episode ends with quite a twist (with the Pai-sho tile), and as was pointed out on one of the forums I read, Toph uses the space earth to mold it into the Nickelodeon logo!

Overall, an extremely good episode in my opinion!
