127. I'm curious how you came to that conclusion when Katara and Zuko hadn't spent more than ten minutes together at a stretch until the S2 finale and with Katara not being on speaking terms with Zuko until 3.16.

Oh for pity's sake. Everyone has to be so freaking smugity-smug smug about it.

Look, the first thing I ever saw of Avatar was the necklace scene. Maybe that had me at a bias.

I figured it was plausible that they'd go with the "opposite elements" thing, that it would be believable for the story in The Cave of Two Lovers to have been minor foreshadowing, that it was possibly significant that the persona Zuko created when he first struck out against the Fire Nation was Water Tribe colors, that it was cute that the bounty-hunter refered to Katara as Zuko's girlfriend, and that, hey, I've seen not-so-villianous antagonist switch sides and fall in love with a heroine. I thought that even their minor, antagonistic interaction really snapped. And I thought it would be interesting and not completely out-of-left-field if instead of the hero getting the first girl he saw (classic first-guy-gets-the-girl), for the girl to go with someone else.

There have been plenty of believeable romances in shows/books/comics/etc introduced late in the game. I mean, for pity's sake, Mai didn't have more than five minutes interaction with Zuko until the third season either.

Yeah, the necklace scene will color your perception if that's your introduction to the series, I will admit that.

But they still didn't interact but for a total of five minutes screentime or less until 3-14. Introducing a new romantic subplot that late in the game would have weakened the narrative overall.

Mai also proceeded to spend most of the third season making out with Zuko. Katara spent all but four episodes' worth of time sniping or, perhaps most memorably, that one time she threatened to kill him.

(I ship Zutara myself! I do! I LIKE their dynamic! It's just really damned obvious that they were never ever ever going to be a canon couple from the outset, otherwise he would have had to have changed sides early enough to allow it to happen. And he didn't; frankly, I'm glad he didn't - it made Zuko's redemption arc that much more compelling.)

I agree, Zuko's redemption arc was more compelling with the failed Heel-Face Turn in season two (it's one of the reasons I clung to a little bit of hope for Zutara--because they kept playing so unexpected).

The thing is, by the time Zuko and Katara were actually interacting, I think most of us had given up on it being canon. The time that, to me, it really seemed like, "hey, maybe this could happen!" was early on. Season 1 and some of Season 2, when the whole show just had its potential and all before it, and you didn't know what would happen. You knew that characters relationships to one another would have to change as the plot moved along, and we all knew that Zuko would eventually make his Heel Face Turn. That's when it seemed to be plausible--when they were two main characters whose paths would cross, and who had snappy (if antagonistic) chemistry in their few scenes together.
