Considering that this episode is mostly based on episode four of the original show, the writers seem to have done a good job at making sure all of the story arcs from that original episode go to waste.
The writers and actors for this episode explained that they removed Sokka's sexism because it could be seen as too offensive, yet all it does is introduce Suki as nothing more than a love interest for Sokka, which if anything else is more sexist than having Sokka be a sexist character.
Additionally, Sokka's while arc in this part was to realize his errors in judgement, and see Suki as his equal, while all this episode does is remove that, and add an unnecessary love subplot in its place.
Gone are Suki's traits that showcase her as an incredible warrior, and she is now nothing more than Sokka's girlfriend, while the animated show made her so much more.
