Alright, so this episode is widely hated among the community as "the weakest episode of Avatar" but honestly? Such, it's on the weaker end of the spectrum but it's ultimately still well written, intelligent stuff, and proof that even a true filler episode can work with these characters and this setting. The laid back approach as well means we have a ton of time for developing these two groups, both of which are defined if a bit on the silly side.
What really saves this episode though is the ending, which is both very funny but also clever. History is always shaped by those who tell it, and this does a great job of showing how the same event in history can be warped in multiple ways. It's not an episode I'll go back to often, but it's another great example on how ATLA is one of the best shows out there.
