Be Careful of Spoilers! A "The Search: Part 1"... →
I, personally, avoid spoilers like the plague, so I hope everyone will forgive me for not being knowledgeable of anything under the cut. However, given the discussion above, I have to say that I am incredibly pumped and looking forward to having a copy of the book for myself!
I’m betting that it will have a cliffhanger at the end, though, as per the trolling that Avatar contributors seem to...

A recent video on YouTube has come to the surface showing what seems to be a commercial for LOK: Season One on DVD. Though Nickelodeon hasn’t said anything official about the release, the trailer seems to be legitimate. This, however, could still be a masterful hoax - so keep up with us to see more news!
