Kids are bastards. I know, I was one(bastard/kid, take your pick ;)). I feel kids shows are supersatuated with the sticky-sweet trope that kids forgive and/or trust easier than adults. Moreover, everyone except for Katara was pretty quick to accept him. I would've appreciated a variety of reactions.
I interpreted the writers' reservations from the way the scenes were constructed. Iroh is asleep when Zuko first enters the tent. Zuko is the first to speak and has more lines... There are other scenes I can't think of right now since Iroh disappeared that seemed to deliberately avoid him.I had also considered that Iroh's disappearance was part of the story but I didn't mention it. I should add that to my list of developments that needed more time... or their own episode. I think Iroh and Zuko had one of if not the most important relationships in the series and deserved more than the 10 minutes they received.
