This episode is quite a step up from the previous episode. It remains continuously tense, yet very lighthearted at the same time, eventually ending in a satisfying ending. The fight scenes with Aang is very enjoyable to watch, owing to his unique fighting style, unseen in other TV series. The animation is very smooth, making it quite exciting to witness. This episode can even be lighthearted during tenser moments, such as when the Fire Nation invade the South Pole. It's quite a serious situation, yet it manages to be quite humorous, by showing the inability for Sokka to fight them off. A pleasure to watch.
