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.

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?

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 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.

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 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 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.

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)

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)

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.
