The Legend of Korra

Out of the Past - S1-E9

Plot hole: When Amon takes Tarrlok's bending away, he tells the lieutenant to collect Korra and electrocute the box. But Amon was upstairs the whole time, so he shouldn't have known where Korra was being held.

Reunion - S4-E7

Plot hole: Guards at a security checkpoint attack Varrick and Bolin, because a wanted poster identifies them as fugitive traitors. The problem is that poster cannot have been there. Varrick and Bolin escape in the previous episode (Battle of Zaofu) but are captured minutes afterwards. (So, no posters needed.) The next day, they escape again by blowing up their imprisoning train car. Their captor, Bataar, thinks they are dead. Indeed, Varrick intended to die. Later, Bataar is actually shown reporting them dead. One might argue that the poster wasn't a wanted poster, but one that warned people about the empire making an example of the traitors.This argument is too flawed: The empire had many examples already, some very high-profile. And a propaganda poster must be placed in plain sight, not in a security booth corner especially designated to let security guards compare the passing individuals. (00:14:00)

Harmonic Convergence - S2-E12

Trivia: The paint job of the Zhu Li is reminiscent to the way ships were painted in WWI. The Americans and the British did this because they thought it would make it more difficult for the Germans to estimate their speed and heading.

Endgame - S1-E12

Question: What happened to the lieutenant after Amon threw him into the pile of wood?

Answer: We do not see what happens. Avatar shows rarely have people killed on screen, so either he got away and was never seen again, or just died right there. As Amon was outed as a bender, he would not go back for his old boss.
