Talk:The Legend of Korra season 1

Delete Page

This page was created prematurely. There's not nearly enough info to even have this page split off. Everything should return to the original "List of Episodes" page and remove all production info and shorten the episode summaries. There's no reason to have this page. - 50.36.95.22 (talk) 07:34, 18 July 2012 (UTC)

I've set up a request for comment (RfC) on the talk page of the article about the series about how to organize the topic into subarticles. If you are interested, I'd appreciate it if you would add your opinion in that RfC.  Sandstein  06:58, 19 July 2012 (UTC)

Ratings Context

Shouldn't ratings for each episode of Avatar: The Last Airbender too be on their respective season pages to give some context for how well The Legend of Korra is doing relative to various points along the three seasons of Avatar? Shouldn't it not be hard for Nickelodeon, the producers, or the ratings company, to release the numbers since it's not exactly some valuable secret because the series aired a number of years ago? I mean, somebody has the numbers among those groups. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.176.142.25 (talk) 02:45, 25 January 2013 (UTC)

• The Legend of Korra (Book 1) → The Legend of Korra (season 1)
• The Legend of Korra (Book 2) → The Legend of Korra (season 2)
• The Legend of Korra (Book 3) → The Legend of Korra (season 3)

– Per WP:TVSEASON, Also consistent with the original Avatar series: Avatar: The Last Airbender (season 1), Avatar: The Last Airbender (season 2) and Avatar: The Last Airbender (season 3) QuasyBoy (talk) 15:53, 8 September 2014 (UTC)

• Support, for consistency as above. Also, "book" is misleading for non-fan readers who might believe we are talking about actual books. If I recall correctly, the articles were created with the identifier "book" at a time where there was confusion about whether one or two books comprise a season, but that seems to have been settled now.  Sandstein  16:08, 8 September 2014 (UTC)

Support, I have always thought it silly to use Nickelodeon's marketing language (book) instead of normal nomenclature (season). (Although technically Nickelodeon doesn't have proper "seasons"...) Cyphoidbomb (talk) 17:09, 8 September 2014 (UTC)

• Support per nom. ₂₃W (talk · stalk) 15:17, 9 September 2014 (UTC)
• Support. Although there is a logic to why Nick refers to the seasons as books, for clarity it should be changed to Season. There should be a note in the lead of each article explaining this nomenclature, but it shouldn't be in the title. WARNING: a few rabid IPs will probably try to move these articles back to "book" without asking. Luthien22 (talk) 16:59, 10 September 2014 (UTC)
• Support per nom and Sandstein. –Prototime (talk · contribs) 19:24, 10 September 2014 (UTC)
• Support to use what seems to be the commonly used name as well as being clearer. —innotata 21:13, 13 September 2014 (UTC)
• Support In the case of Avatar: The Last Airbender (the show this spun off from) the season articles do not use book 1 etc so I don't see why this should be any different.--76.65.42.142 (talk) 22:34, 17 September 2014 (UTC)

Also since the requested for this has been made an article for the fourth season has been made using book as well. I would request that The Legend of Korra (Book 4) be moved as well since I see that as an uncontroversial addition to this request.--76.65.42.142 (talk) 22:20, 1 October 2014 (UTC)

Further discussion

If I had known about the above discussion, I would have pointed out that the change is technically inaccurate, because Books One and Two are Season One and Books Three and Four are Season Two. That's how they were produced and labeled. In the case of Avatar, each Book was produced as a season. -- Noneofyourbusiness (talk) 02:44, 3 October 2014 (UTC)

Originally they were ordered as such, but Nickelodeon has since changed its mind to each book being a season. - adamstom97 (talk) 02:48, 3 October 2014 (UTC)

That's good if true. Can you provide a citation? -- Noneofyourbusiness (talk) 13:51, 3 October 2014 (UTC)

Some of the discussion on this issue can be found at Talk:The Legend of Korra/Archive 3. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 16:54, 3 October 2014 (UTC)

It's a bit hard to follow, but it looks in the "Books vs Seasons" section of that page, the consensus reached by the end/bottom was that Nickelodeon referred to the books as parts of seasons internally and that this took precedence over press releases referring to them as seasons. -- Noneofyourbusiness (talk) 18:35, 3 October 2014 (UTC)

According to this source: http://bryankonietzko.tumblr.com/post/27078349740/im-sure-this-meme-is-dead-by-now-but-it-still the network considers each book a season. If that doesn't satisfy you, you might consider pinging Sandstein, since he's pretty on top of this stuff. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 18:56, 3 October 2014 (UTC)

Er, that source actually says the opposite. It says "What makes this even more confusing is that the network considers each block of 26 episodes a 'season,' which is another reason we try to stick to calling these Korra arcs 'books.' So for the network’s purposes, Books 1 & 2 are Season 1, and Books 3 & 4 are Season 2." If we followed that, we would keep the articles named "book". -- Noneofyourbusiness (talk) 03:08, 4 October 2014 (UTC)

Good point. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 05:45, 4 October 2014 (UTC)

Yes, just take a look at the news search results for "Korra season 4" to see that not only reliable sources - which is what we follow - label each book a season, but the channel does as well: the season 4 trailer contains the title card "The Final Season" (at 0:40). The "two books, one season" idea originates with the above-mentioned blog post by Bryan Konietzko where he explains that this is how Nickelodeon accounts for the production internally because their accounting is apparently based on 28-episode seasons, but this factoid (which is too trivial to mention in the article) does not seem to ever have been communicated by Nickelodeon, and has no bearing on how the series is presented to viewers. As far as viewers know, one book id one season, and writing anything else would therefore be utterly confusing to readers.  Sandstein  20:42, 3 October 2014 (UTC)

I'm not sure that those news sites are reliable sources, but the trailer does show that Nick considers each a book a season in some sense. And it is most important that it be understandable to readers. -- Noneofyourbusiness (talk) 03:08, 4 October 2014 (UTC)
