The Tales of Ba Sing Se - S2-E15

Other mistake: The Tale of Aang: After Aang lets all the animals out of the zoo, he takes out his bison whistle and blows on it. As he does so, the way he holds his staff makes it so that it's going right through his head. (00:10:28)

Sokka's Master - S3-E4

Continuity mistake: After Sokka admits to Piandao that he thought he messed up everything they worked on, when Piandao says, "You messed things up in a very special way," the yellow trim at the front of Piandao's collar is incomplete. The yellow trim is rendered properly when Piandao says, "Your sword must be an extension of yourself." (00:13:55)

Sokka's Master - S3-E4

Other mistake: When the group is first shown inside the store, Sokka starts running forward. Toph stands behind Sokka, but as Sokka is running away from them, she is layered over him. (00:04:43)

Sokka's Master - S3-E4

Continuity mistake: When Piandao tells Sokka that creativity, versatility, and intelligence define a great swordsman, he holds out Sokka's sheathed sword with its hilt at Piandao's right hand. However, in the next shot facing Sokka, the sword in its scabbard now lies on Piandao's hands the opposite way, with its hilt at Piandao's left hand. The position of Piandao's hands and thumbs changes as well, between shots. (00:17:25)

Sokka's Master - S3-E4

Continuity mistake: Toph mentions the worst thing about being disguised is they don't get the hero worship anymore and she misses the love, to which Sokka grumbles, "Boo-hoo, poor heroes." Then, as Sokka says, "It's just, all you guys can do this awesome bending stuff," the triangular emblem on Aang's red "headband" has vanished, and in the next shot, it reappears. (00:03:35)

Suggested correction: You sure that was the same ship, and what's 5-10 years give or take compared to Gran-Gran's life anyway?

Suggested correction: If Gran Gran was really in her late teens or early twenties during the Southern Water Tribe raids, that can still be considered a "little girl," since she is in her eighties in the show.

Imprisoned - S1-E6

Continuity mistake: When the gang meets Haru, Katara teleports from behind a log (shoulder still visible) in one shot to greeting Haru several yards in front of the log a split second later. (00:02:50)

Suggested correction: That's because the second shot is a jump cut. The trio first sees Haru from behind the log, and after Sokka says, "He looks dangerous, so we better approach cautiously," the scene jumps forward in time to Katara greeting Haru further away from the log. Katara simply got closer to Haru, which was not shown.

The Awakening - S3-E1

Continuity mistake: When Azula is asking Zuko whether or not he thinks the avatar may have survived, Zuko goes into a flashback. When he snaps back to real time, Azula has her hands behind her back. When the shot cuts, her hands are instantly by her side.

The Southern Raiders - S3-E16

Continuity mistake: When Katara goes to hug Zuko at the end, she is not wearing gloves on either of her hands, but then a glove appears on her left hand mid-shot, and her right hand also has one once she puts her arms around Zuko. (00:23:04)

The Beach - S3-E5

Other mistake: When Team Avatar is in the hot spring, Toph tells Aang to cover his body because she is worried someone might see his tattoos. Because Toph is blind, she shouldn't have been able to know that Aang's body wasn't covered. (00:02:44)

The Ember Island Players - S3-E17

Sokka: Listen to this: The Boy in the Iceberg is a new production from acclaimed playwriter Pu Won Tin. He scowered the globe gathering information on the Avatar. From the icy south pole to the heart of Ba Sing Se. His sources include singing nomads, pirates, prisoners of war and a surprisingly knowlegable merchant of cabbage.

The Library - S2-E10

Trivia: Wan Shi Tong is of one the few things in this show that is not a reference to Asian cultures, but to Ancient Greece instead. In their mythology owls were the symbol of wisdom and their goddess of wisdom, Athena, was often depicted with an owl.

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?

Friso94

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.
