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 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 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)

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 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 Firebending Masters - S3-E13

Other mistake: When Ran and Shaw (the dragons) breathe the colorful fire around Aang and Zuko, and the camera moves down to them, Zuko's scar is on the opposite side of his face, and his sword and Aang's clothing are worn over the opposite shoulders in a mirrored shot. (00:20:01)

The Headband - S3-E2

Continuity mistake: When Zuko and Mai are having a picnic, Azula asks Zuko if she can have a word with him. In the next shot, Mai is wearing a black glove on her left hand, which she wasn't wearing in the previous shot. Two shots later, the glove is gone. (00:15:03)

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 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.
