Hello Ms. Giles, how are you doing this month?

Ma'am, a question that I really wanted to ask recently that I have really been curious about that I wanted to clear up. Okay, we know Cartoon Network ordered 26 episodes when season five was greenlit. So my question is, why was it split into two as what are essentially two different seasons?

I mean there's All-Stars and Pahkitew Island. How come one or the other didn't simply get the full 26 episodes? We could've had one big 26-episode season as most would prefer to have and that could've addressed some of the shortcomings fans feel come with the more recent 13-episode seasons.

Those could've gone to either All-Stars or Pahkitew. For All-Stars it would've made sense as it was an all-star season, and for the latter it would've made sense since that one was clearly the better received season in contrast to All-Stars. Also, I hear All-Stars' production was very troubled in contrast to Pahkitew's, and personally speaking it would've probably been preferable to just have Pahkitew given the outcome of All-Stars on a whole if Pahkitew is where the stronger effort was made.

I'm not sure I ever caught the reason why it was split into two separate deals, so why was 26 episodes made into two halves of one season rather than as a whole season?
