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.

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)

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: 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)

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 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 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 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 Ember Island Players - S3-E17

Question: Is there an inside joke or added meaning to the names that worked on the "play"? The "surprisingly informed cabbage merchant" is obvious, but besides that.

Answer: The pirates are from the episodes "The Waterbending Scroll" and "The Waterbending Master" (They're the ones Katara stole the scroll from). The traveling musicians are from "The Cave of Two Lovers. The prisoners of war likely refer to the Kyoshi Warriors, the men of the Southern Water Tribe, and possibly Bumi and the other citizens of Omashu.
