Jordan Moreau Two of the most memorable songs from Nickelodeon’s “Avatar: The Last Airbender” made their way into Netflix’s new adaptation of the series. Instead of making viewers wait for a second season to hear “Secret Tunnel” and “Leaves From the Vine,” the live-action version moves both to the fourth episode of Season 1.
In “The Cave of Two Lovers,” the second episode of the original series’ second season, Aang and his friends meet a band of musical nomads who lead them through an underground cave network into the earthbending city of Omashu. Along they way, they sing “Secret Tunnel,” an infectiously simple and upbeat earworm that became a fan-favorite.
“The Tales of Ba Sing Se,” Episode 15 of Season 2, is regarded as one of “Avatar’s” best episodes, eschewing the show’s usual format to instead present six vignettes about different characters. One of the most poignant moments in the entire series comes during Uncle Iroh’s vignette, which features the retired general memorializing his late son, Lu Ten.
Iroh sings “Leaves From the Vine (Little Soldier Boy”), a touching eulogy to his son, followed by a title card dedicating the episode to Iroh’s voice actor Mako Iwamatsu, who died of cancer before it aired. Netflix’s live-action “Avatar” puts both songs in slightly different contexts.

Jordan Moreau Peter Weber, known as Pilot Pete to Bachelor Nation, became the second person to trade in the “Bachelor” mansion for the Scottish castle of “The Traitors.” Weber joined Season 2 of Peacock’s competition series as a Faithful, someone who is covertly working to sniff out the three Traitors within the cast and banish them out to take home the cash prize. The “Bachelor” leading man follows in the footsteps of Arie Luyendyk Jr., who was a Faithful in Season 1 and nearly made it to the end of the game. Halfway through this season, Weber put a major target on his back by going after the Traitors (“Big Brother” star Dan Gheesling, “Survivor” queen Parvati Shallow and “Real Housewives of Atlanta” icon Phaedra Parks).

Jordan Moreau Since air is invisible, what would airbending look like in real life? Fans of “Avatar: The Last Airbender” have pondered that question since the announcement of a live-action version of the series. The original Nickelodeon show portrayed Aang’s bending with a bluish, swirling look, but the team behind Netflix’s adaptation had a challenge on their hands when rendering those techniques in three dimensions. Air, earth, water and fire — the four elements that Aang (Gordon Cormier) needs to master as the Avatar — each needed their own unique look and bending style, accomplished with a mix of both on-set and post-production efforts.
