Did anyone find it weird how Play Zuko said to Play Katara "I thought you were the Avatar's girl," when Play Aang is also a girl?

The best thing about this episode was that fake Katara's balloons.

I am so very hoping that the playwright's "research" and accuracy will be explained sometime in tomorrow night's final four episodes (I still think of it as four eps rather than a movie). I mean, it seems impossible that anyone could know everything that's in the play, it's hard to believe the writers would do something like that and not explain it. Because they've always been so awesome at foreshadowing that sometimes you don't even know it's foreshadowing until the next season!
The Toph/Zuko moment was great. It's been bugging me that this week we've only seen Iroh in flashback, but he does get mentioned often enough. Still, we haven't seen him in person, in the present, since November, so I'm really looking forward to that. And some White Lotus awesomeness.
Aang trying to kiss Katara was great. It was stupid, but that's what's great about it... in movies and TV, there are always perfect romantic moments setting up an inevitable kiss, and I... don't think real life is usually like that. Sometimes you may think you're in that moment and the other person is so not in that moment at all, just the opposite. So it was very realistic for Aang to think that was the thing to do when it was totally wrong. But I still am not counting out Kataang... mainly because I am fiercely loyal to Maiko. "I love Zuko more than I fear you"? C'mon... that relationship is so not over!

Alright, Nandi, here's the breakdown:
Sokka hears about a play about the Gaang and convinces them to go see it. It opens with Katara making long, horrendous speeches about "hope" and Sokka making endless, pathetic jokes about meat. They find the boy in the iceburg (who is, in fact, a woman in a baldcap), who claims "he" is the Avatar, there to "spread joy and fun!"
The rather horrific actors then revisit most of the major episodes in the series to date. Actor!Aang finds a "flying rabbit-monkey" and names it Momo, Actor!Sokka asks Actor!Suki if the Kyoshi armor makes his butt look fat, a rather convincing Bumi makes a bad rhyme about facing challenges and riddles, Actor!Zuko (sporting a fake scar on the wrong side of his face) actually delivers a fairly accurate performance to a cake-munching (and infinitely lamer) Actor!Iroh.
The pirates attack the Actor!Gaang, and when A!Sokka inquires why Katara had to steal the scroll, she replied something like, "It just gave so much hope!"
Cue gagging.
As the play continues, the only person happy with her actor is Toph, who is portrayed by a buff guy. Highlights include:
Brainwash!Jet spazzing out, "must...follow...the Earth King!" and getting covered by a rock...sorta.
Zutara crystal cavern. 'Nuff said.
Zuko vs. the Giant Blue Spirit Mask.
A little kid cosplaying Aang runs past Zuko in the hall. "Your Zuko costume's pretty good, but your scar's on the wrong side!"
At the end, it takes a rather serious turn. "Azula" kills "Zuko," and "Ozai" kills "Aang." Everyone in the audience stands up to cheer.
Anyone have anything to add?

Did anyone else notice Aang's voice was higher than Katara's? Yeah,I noticed that too, I thought Zach was going through puberty cause his voice was deeper in most of S3 than it was before, but now I'm not sure what happened. And I'm convinced that the writers have been spying on us, because that episode and the lines are too similar to what has been said on all of the major Avatar forums and LJ communities, what the fake!Katara said about her relationship with Aang is the exact same thing Zutarians said about the relationship here and on ASN. I had a little deja vu during that eppy. I was talking about play Katara and play Aang, but yeah actually it is the same with the real ones too, but not as noticeable or annoying.

I feel that the episode was both humorously good and completely horrid. if you think about it, The Southern Raiders and Ember Island Players were both just episodes put there to stall for Sozin's Comet. I mean neither of them really had any meaning what-so-ever. But of course i enjoyed them them because they were freakin new episodes of Avatar!!! haha. lol. I can and can't wait until Sozin's comet. It's gonna be awsome!, but it's the last one EVER.

The best thing about this episode was that fake Katara's balloons. Lol, I was wondering why they had her chest all...exposed and had a slit in her fake!Water Tribe clothing that showed 99% of her legs.

But I don't understand how they got all those events in that play when most of them happened outside of Fire Nation territory. They got nearly everything right. The Gaang had a stalker. XD The play kind of sucked. It was funny, but it sucked. Especially because it went to the final confrontation and killed off both Aang and Zuko, while the other guys disappeared. And I do wish they had put more into this episode, less of the play and more of the real characters.

I thought that it was really frightening that the Fire Nation citizen actually claps and the demise of Zuko in the place, they really have no room for traitors do they.....
I guess the road to recovery is going to be very hard, seeing how brainwashed everyone is
