ebonlock | Uncle, that's what *all* tea is!

moonlightnrain just dropped me a link to this piece on the Avatar third season which contains this juicy morsel:

This morning Paramount Home Entertainment has announced the DVD release of Avatar: The Last Airbender - Book 3: Fire, Volume 1 on October 30th. The first single-disc release contains the first 5 episodes of the new season, with a running time of about two hours. Those episodes are reportedly to be titled "The Awakening," "The Headband," "The Painted Lady," "Sokka's Master," and "The Beach." In order to get this release out at that time, with that many eps, and assuming they are waiting until after the 2nd season DVD collection hits in the second week of September, then Nick will have to begin broadcasting in the third or fourth week of September. Cost of the B3,V1 disc is expected to be $16.99 SRP, similar to the previous individual DVDs in this series. Here's a look at the packaging. Oh, look! Fire! Wait, when did Aang grow hair?

In case you're wondering what they're talking about on the Aang with hair front,

If this cover is any indication Book 3: Fire is going to be dark, action-packed and totally ass-kicking. The kids are definitely growing up. Gah, October cannot come soon enough!!
