Yeah, I've got a type

A sarcastic, pessimistic science/engineering genius with a crooked smile. There really was no way I could not like Sokka, was there? (Sorry, Rodney, you might be the greater science/engineering genius, but Sokka's got you seriously outmatched when it comes to battle. Don't worry, though, I love you both!)

I'm particularly noting this based on "Book One, Chapter 17" (or A:TLA 1x17, more traditionally). I know I'm mainlining the series and so will have a different experience than those who parcel out the episodes over time, but I still like that Sokka is allowed to contribute to the group in major ways from very near the outset (if not quite all along). Competence squee FTW!

I also really loved that they didn't turn him into the zeppo, just because he had no powers like the rest of them (and I also mainlined the series... in fact I may have to do so again :).
