I did wonder if they were going to drag out the 10,000 years of Dark Avatar thing, but I think it would have been somewhat pointless to do that, since there are still a lot to this new era left to be explored without plunging it into the post-apocalypse. As it is, the fact that Korra can no longer access her past lives and that spirits now freely roam the world are enough of a gamechanger to make the next Book interesting.
BTW, it's really confusing, but this is technically still Season 1, production-wise. Book 3 will be the start of Season 2.
