Alright, here is the first part of my “For Science - Line Count” series.  Please help to reblog this post if you can, because this blog practically has no follower.

The goal is to merely provide a line count for the main characters, as well as to clarify how many lines are spoken, by whom and to whom, in each episode and Book.

I’ll refrain from unnecessary comment or analysis, and let the data speak for itself.  You can utilize this data as you like… and hopefully it will shed some light and provide some perspective in regards to some (or all) of these questions:

- Quantification of Korra?

- Are lines/screentime absolutely everything?

- Do lines equal character importance?

- Do certain type of characters just talk more in general?

- Do ____ (insert character of choice) even talk to _____ (insert character of choice) in Book ____ (insert book of choice)?

- Is there more interaction for _____ (insert ship of choice) than ______ (insert ship of choice)?

Please feel free to draw your own conclusion.

In short, instead of using baseless arguments and statements, let’s now use hardcore data to back it up!

All in the name of science, of course.  When you make a statement or argument, always, always have data to back it up.

If you notice any error or miscount in this post, please please do not hesitate to let me know.  The goal is to have this count as accurate as possible.

NOTE: I have used AvatarSpirit.net transcripts for acquiring the line count - first of all a big thank you to them!  Secondly, please be advised that in these transcripts:

“"Dear Korra, I miss you. It’s not the same in Republic City without you. How are you feeling? Things are going well here. I just got a big contract to help redesign the city’s infrastructure, so I’ll be keeping pretty busy for awhile.”“ is counted as one line.

And this also counts as one line: “Korra!”

Without further ado…
