I don't know why everyone is so upset about stuff. It's perfectly acceptable to have a glorious sacrifice and then have it not actually work. The point was that Lin was willing to do it.
This, I don't understand the mindset about being angry with this. Lin sacrificed herself, the only real downside is how easily Korra gave her back the bending. But I kind of expected it would be easy to reverse it, as I expected Amon wasn't really taking away the bending.
