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.

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.
24th Mar 2014
Continuity mistake: In the shot after Mai says "Saving the jerk who dumped me" you can see the rods which the prison guards used to slow down the mechanism of the gondola are nowhere near the wheel. (00:19:55)
15th Mar 2014
Continuity mistake: When Aang emerges from the water on the giant sprout in The Avatar State, the arrow on his head is not glowing.

The Northern Air Temple - S1-E17
Continuity mistake: When Aang, Teo and Katara are walking up to the door of the Air Temple Sanctuary, the pipes which make it open are in a horizontal position, but in the next shot, they are vertical. (00:09:20)

Other mistake: When Azula attacks The Western Air Temple, there is a close up shot of her when she says that she is about to become an only child. Pay attention to the smoke coming from the airship behind her, especially above her head: it doesn't move. Even if this was remotely possible, it does move when the camera zooms out, making it a mistake nonetheless.
14th Jan 2014
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 Avatar and the Firelord - S3-E6
Firelord Sozin: With Roku gone and the Great Comet returning, the timing was perfect to change the world. I knew the next Avatar would be born an Air Nomad, so I wiped out the Airtemples, but somehow the new Avatar eluded me. I wasted the remainder of my life searching in vain. I know he's hiding out there, somewhere. The Fire Nation's greatest threat; the last Airbender.

The Southern Air Temple - S1-E3
Continuity mistake: When Gyatso is laughing in Aang's flashback, he is missing quite a few teeth. But when Aang finds his skeleton, all his teeth are still in place.
5th Dec 2013
Sozin's Comet (4): Avatar Aang - S3-E21
Continuity mistake: Throughout the entire show, Aang's eyes are grey, but in the last three episodes (Sozin's Comet Part 2, 3 and 4) they are suddenly brown.

24th Nov 2013
Continuity mistake: When Azula says: "What is she doing?" Ty Lee is standing behind her. When the shot cuts and Ty Lee shrugs, they are standing side by side,. (00:20:30)
21st Nov 2013
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)
20th Nov 2013
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.
