This episode is pure filler and I don't care, it's great. People claim the problem with The Great Divide was that it was a filler episode but in fact, it's that The Great Divide was a bad filler episode. This, on the other hand, is a good one.
Sokka is peak comedy throughout this episode (especially given he refuses to believe in prophecies while his best friend is a prophesied Chosen One) and Katara's credulity in the face of the mystical is now shown to be to such an extreme that it's no better than Sokka's cynicism and it's still funny. I also like how there's some ambiguity as to how real Aunt Wu's predictions are or aren't. As well as Aang's relationship with Katara. And this episode's lesson was a good one.
This proves that a "mere filler episode" can nonetheless be great.
