Trivia

Aang's second dream fight costume is an homage to Vash the Stampede from Trigun. In the third, he is wearing his original airbender clothes. In the final dream, the costume is meant to mirror Ozai's. In Aang's hallucination where Momo and Appa have a sword battle, Momo is dressed like the comic book character Miyamoto Usagi.

Quotes

[first lines]
Sokka: This is it. The official rendezvous point for the invasion force.
Toph: How did you pick this place?
Sokka: Before we split up, my Dad and I found this island on a map. It's uninhabited and the harbor surrounded by cliffs seemed like the perfect secluded place.

User Reviews

One of the series' worst episodes to date!

This episode despite not being a filler like the last one, was possibly the strangest and surely for me not in a good way. Despite keeping track with the big mission ahead for "Team Aang" this episode was just all over the place. Apart from the Zuko storyline which kept me somewhat invested in this episode there is absolutely nothing worth watching this episode. Better said just another skip episode, although because of Zuko's storyline you must watch this episode and at the same time get along with the excruciating strange dreams of Aang which make no sense at all and with other stupid plot lines that lead nowhere. Apart from Zuko, this episode is absolute trash. And it's sad to see that here at the halfway point of the last season. And I had high hopes for this season, because the previous two haven't been nearly as good as they were hyped to be.
