Bloodbending was an ingenious move and the fact that there was actually another waterbender from Katara's tribe caught me completely offguard. Much like Azula however, her insanity made me feel for her, not find her crazy. I felt terrible for her, having to watch her tribe decimate in front of her own eyes and spend the majority of her life confined in a cage and then walk freely after decades of imprisonment, still being imprisoned in a way, forced to live amongst people whom she hated. I felt terrible for Hama, especially at the end when she just went back to prison, which had driven her to insanity in the first place
I felt almost as bad for Katara, since she was also a waterbender from Hama's tribe and had to listen to the tale of the horrendous genocide of her civilization and still make the right choice, despite an old master from her own tribe teaching her her own techniques and mothering her. The way that Hama actually played grandmother for the Gaang and nurtured Katara until the full moon was heartfelt, as were Katara's emotions and Hama's whole story
I don't like how Kitara learned Bloodbending within a few minutes. I mean, she's not a prodigy or anything, so does that mean if another waterbender saw her bloodbending would they learn just as fast?
And what is happening with Zuko, Iroh and gang?! I miss them ;_;
But really, this episode was as creepy as they were saying. I mean the whole, "People are under the mountain screaming!" scenario freaked me out.
I don't agree. She most certainly is a prodigy. She reached mastery of waterbending faster than Azula- the oh so renowned prodigy- reached mastery of firebending or Toph did of earthbending. She's a prodigy, through and through. Plus, she handed an old master her rear end at her own game (Hama at bloodbending).
