The Avatar and the Firelord - S3-E6
Corrected entry: Roku dies at the end of the episode because he is about to be engulfed by a pyroclastic cloud. It is made clear that when the Avatar is in imminent danger, The Avatar State is triggered. So it should have triggered, saving Roku, but that couldn't happen for obvious plot purposes, even though it defies what they said earlier.
Sozin's Comet (1): The Phoenix King - S3-E18
Continuity mistake: When Aang is waking up on the giant lion turtle, he is not wearing shoes in the first shot, but in the next shot, he is.
The Cave of Two Lovers - S2-E2
Iroh: Where are we going to go? We are enemies of the Earth Kingdom, and fugitives from the Fire Nation.
Zuko: If the Earth Kingdom discovers us, we'll be killed.
Iroh: But if the Fire Nation discovers us, we'll be turned over to Azula.
[Iroh and Zuko give each other a meaningful look.]
Zuko: Earth Kingdom it is.
The Avatar and the Firelord - S3-E6
Question: At the end of Sozin's story, he says that he wiped out the Airtemple, and we see one burning. But it isn't one of the four they visited during the three seasons. The Western Airtemple hangs from the cliff, the Northern and Southern both are on one solitary peak and it doesn't have the distinctive bridges of the Eastern Airtemple. Is it ever explained or shown which one it is in Sozin's story?
Chosen answer: When Sozin says "So I wiped out the Air Temples," we are indeed seeing the three mountains of the Eastern Air Temple burning, with the two bridges being gone in this shot (S3-E6). This does conflict a bit with the image we see of the Eastern Air Temple, with the two bridges intact, when Aang and Appa fly to that Air Temple seeking Guru Pathik (S2-E19). This may possibly be considered a mistake, but the fact is that when we are seeing the burning of the Eastern Air Temple it's from the point of view of Zuko, who is merely reading from Sozin's autobiographical account, and envisioning everything he's reading, which in his mind includes the bridges having been destroyed.

Correction: First, The Avatar State is only triggered reflexively as a defense mechanism until the Avatar learns to control The Avatar State. Roku has, at this point, long since mastered The Avatar State and so here it is not triggered. Second, entering The Avatar State does not make the Avatar immortal, it just makes them more powerful and grants them the full awareness of all previous Avatars. Not only is an Avatar in The Avatar State not immortal, if an Avatar dies while in The Avatar State, the Avatar line will end forever. Roku knows this, and he also knows he is doomed, which is why he deliberately does not enter The Avatar State. He is trying to preserve the Avatar line for future generations.
