wikipedia enters the avatar state

today's featured article on the main wikipedia page is about avatar! the article is very comprehensive, with a great section on the many cultural influences that have been worked into the show. it also includes info about some of the great avatar toys and collectibles that are out there.

while anxiously awaiting the third season of avatar to air, i'm checking out the fansites frequently for info... and i just read on avatarspirit that there will be a new actor playing iroh next season. iroh is one of my favorite characters so i'm disappointed to hear about the change - mako, the actor who has played iroh since the beginning of the show, did a wonderful job of bringing iroh to life.
