I watched 1 and 2 back to back and couldn't help but laugh at the fact that Aang learns how to cry in between episodes, or they applied fake tears for Gyatso's funeral or something. Bless their child actor's hearts, they tried very hard. But I don't think even Oscar winners could've done much with some of the atrocious dialogue that plagues some episodes. But yeah, mid would be a rather apt descriptor.
