I had been entertaining some thoughts about that. :) (I think we'll all be completely find after meeting Iroh II.) I was seriously anguished over Lin's scene (and still am) but seeing the next Iroh filled me with enough temporary "!!!!!!!!!! it's more next generation! and it's a character named after Iroh!!!!!!!!!" that it wasn't as depressing as the end of, say, Season 2 of Avatar: TLA.

Want the next episode now omg I can't wait.
