When Katara prepares to throw the wood at Sokka (after yelling at him and before the wood falls on him), the blue beads connecting her hair loopies to her bun are brown like her hair. (edit) Listen Closely: When Aang is telling the lie about Jin Wei and Wei Jin, if you listen closely, he does a quick pause when he says, "That's... what the game was called, Redemption." (edit) When arguing about the how slim the chance of rain was, Sokka comments on it being the dry season. This is illogical due to the fact that the show characteristically uses the four temperate seasons, not the two tropicals. Also evident is the fact that given the time of year the show has indicated towards being situated in, it would've been the wet season. (edit) Appa flew the Gan jin's old people and the Zhang's sick people together to the other side. Wouldn't the old, since their so clean and elderly, be more susceptible to the bacteria and viruses the sick had? (edit) The tour guide's arms clearly weren't broken because when Aang was talking about eating their weight in lychee nuts on the small cliff, the guide climbed up. He would've needed his hands. (edit)

At the end of this episode, the camera moves up and we can see a big monolith on the left and the mountains behind it. The monolith is similar to The Devils Tower monolith located in Wyoming, USA. (edit) Rashomon
The situation between the two tribes is a "Rashomon effect", in which multiple individuals who are witnesses to an event are able to produce substantially different but equally plausible accounts of it. The literary concept/psychological effect is used countlessly in various forms of entertainment (primarily films and episodes of television programs) and was popularized by Akira Kurosawa's 1950's film Rashomon, in which a crime witnessed by four individuals is described in four mutually contradictory ways. The film in turn based on two short stories by Japanese writer Akutagawa Ryunosuke, regarded as the "Father of the Japanese Short Story." (edit) The names of the two tribe's forefathers appear to be the antithesis of the other, Jin Wei and Wei jin, which itself is a play on how family names are positioned in Eastern and Western culture. In many Eastern cultures, family names are placed before their given names, while in many Western cultures, family names serve as surnames. (edit) The Great Divide canyon was an obvious reference to the Grand Canyon. Katara even went as far as calling it the largest canyon in the world. (edit) The Canyon Guide bore a strong resemblence to Aang's Bonzu Pipinpadaloxicopolis, the Third disguise of Aang's in The King of Omashu. (edit)
