I thought Suki was a wonderful addition, too. Much more natural than Haru, the Duke, and Teo, who didn't even get lines anyway. (what a waste!)
I never thought about it until now, but you're right that it's weird for Mai to be included in the gang picture at the end. Shouldn't she be off at the Royal Palace making doilies or something?
...okay, that was mean. I should have said that about the writing staff, not Mai. Mai rocks. The writing staff did NOT rock when they had her sit out the entire finale. It is awkward that she was absent for the whole thing and then suddenly is part of the group. But...what can you do? People bring dates to family dinners...
Hm...I know Zuko probably told everyone that Mai was the reason they were able to escape the BR prison, but it must have been weird for her to meet everyone else after fighting them for a seasons. ESPECIALLY, Suki, on account of being beaten and captured by them. We saw that reaction with Ty Lee, at least... Sokka's WTF and then the Kyoshi Warriors vouching for her. We didn't really see anyone react to Mai except Zuko.
