Talk:Legion season 2

Episodes

Zap2It is reporting 11 episodes for the season under Episode Guide, with the 11th apparently airing on June 12. Is this a mistake on their part, or was another episode ordered? -- Alex^TW 08:58, 22 April 2018 (UTC)

Since this is the first we are hearing of it I think it might be safest to hold off on adding an eleventh episode to the page just yet. We should be on the lookout for other sources backing this up. - adamstom97 (talk) 11:57, 23 April 2018 (UTC)

Thought so. I was wondering if I'd missed an announcement, but I'm thinking it's more of a mistake on their part. -- Alex^TW 12:16, 23 April 2018 (UTC)

So, it was true. Glad it was officially confirmed, and not Zap messing up. -- Alex^TW 02:06, 2 May 2018 (UTC)

Expand viewership to three decimal places

Hey, would anyone object if we expand the viewership to include the full viewership numbers (three decimal places) instead of rounding it? Generally, if viewership is under 1 million, we do that. Only the first three episodes of the first season were over a million, while everything else is under. I find it to be more beneficial and exact. Thoughts?

I see nothing wrong with doing that. It makes it easier to differentiate how well episodes are doing if its a low rated show like this one. Esuka323 (talk) 22:02, 31 May 2018 (UTC)

Syd

Why is Syd the only character at this article who is referred to by her last name, "Barrett"? This doesn't even seem to be done at the season #1 article. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 23:19, 23 June 2018 (UTC)

Ditto Lenny, who is only referred to as "Busker" here, and not in the season #1 article (and pretty much never on the show...). --IJBall (contribs • talk) 23:25, 23 June 2018 (UTC)

I think certain editors think you have to refer to characters by their last names, but I'm sure that's only a guideline for writing about real people, not fictional characters. I agree fictional characters should always be referred to as there most common name in the show itself, whether it be their first name, last name, or a nickname.

Correct – with fictional characters, you're supposed to refer to them by their WP:COMMONNAME, i.e. the name they are most commonly referred to on the show. With fictional TV series, that is generally the first name, not the surname. (Though, there are exceptions – e.g. cop characters will sometimes be commonly known as "Det. Williams", for example...) If no one else changes this, I'll probably got through the episode summaries in the near future, and change these to their common first names. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 16:50, 24 June 2018 (UTC)
