The Avatar State - S2-E1

Continuity mistake: When Zuko and Iroh are walking towards Azula's ship, the gold flame insignia on the imperial firebenders' uniforms switches directions between shots.

Avatar Day - S2-E5

Continuity mistake: When we first see Aang in the stocks, Sokka advises him to use his Airbending to escape and begins "imitating" Aang's kata. During one pose, we see Sokka is wearing the boomerang, or at least the sheath it was in, that he had to leave behind at the beginning of the episode. He wasn't wearing it before, isn't wearing it after, and doesn't actually get it back until the climax. (00:02:09 - 00:06:33)

Avatar Day - S2-E5

Continuity mistake: When the village leader switches the wheel of punishment to Community Service, it is on the space next to Boiled in Oil. However, all of the other shots of the wheel have another section in between these two.

The Chase - S2-E8

Audio problem: When Toph feels and hears the tank train coming for the first time, she says, "There's something coming toward us," as she runs out of her tent. She turns her head away from the camera after she says "There's," but for the time her mouth is visible, it is not moving as she is speaking. (00:03:11)

Bitter Work - S2-E9

Continuity mistake: When Iroh draws the symbols of the Four Nations in the sand, there is grass on the left side of the Earth symbol in the close ups. In the shots that show all four symbols, the grass is gone. (00:14:25)

The Desert - S2-E11

Other mistake: At the start, when Toph says, "I can hardly feel any vibrations out here," Aang moves his head, and it briefly duplicates. Right after that, Aang seems to shift into another position without any animation, most noticeable with his head and face. (00:01:56)

The Drill - S2-E13

Continuity mistake: When Katara is trying to heal the wounded earthbender, she gives Sokka the idea to take down The Drill from the inside. Sokka then stops her from saying anything while she is sitting down, and she is wearing her necklace. When she stands up in that same shot, the necklace is gone, like they forgot to animate it. (00:07:35)

The Tales of Ba Sing Se - S2-E15

Audio problem: The Tale of Toph and Katara: Right after the scene of Toph and Katara at the Fancy Lady Day Spa, as Toph says, "Well, that wasn't so bad. I'm not... I actually feel girly," her lip movements are out of sync. (00:02:34)

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)

The Tales of Ba Sing Se - S2-E15

Other mistake: The Tale of Sokka: When Sokka delivers his final haiku to the girls, he inadvertently adds an extra syllable to the final line. In the close-up of him counting his fingers, the iris of his left eye is rendered over his hand. (00:14:42)

The Earth King - S2-E18

Other mistake: When the group goes to hug Sokka before he and Aang go to Chameleon Bay, you can briefly see that Toph is incorrectly drawn with arrow tattoos on her hands, like Aang has. This happens very fast, but you can still catch it when watching the episode normally without pausing or slowing it down. (00:20:35)

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.

Sokka's Master - S3-E4

Trivia: When Sokka gives Toph the piece of meteorite, she bends it into various shapes between her hands, the last of which resembles the Nickelodeon splat logo. (00:22:50)

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.
