Maybe helping push Luthor to Sec-Gen of the UN is "payment" of some wort. While I understand and respect the viewpoint that you are trying to take, I don't think that it's helpful when we're trying to ensure that we get a third season or some kind of continuation of the series. Which is why Zergrinch and I are trying to view the finale as open-ended as possible. We and a bunch of other reviewers on the Internet, from Entertainment Fuse to IGN, agree that "Endgames" has ended on a big cliffhanger, and to ignore all the big questions or try to answer them in a conclusive way would be, IMO, to undermine the value of the episode. How does someone's opinion of an episode have any bearing on whether or not it's renewed. While planning for the future, they wrote this episode in a way that it could stand as a series finale in case they never got to continue. I think we should respect that. For one thing, viewing a series finale as open-ended would motivate them to petition or campaign for a renewal, just a lot of fans are doing. As for the series finale plans, Greg said that he tried to ensure that this episode would satisfy the audience in the case of a cancellation. In a way, I do respect that effort, but that doesn't mean that we got that as a result. Plus, Greg also said that he tried to keep some loose ends untied for the next season and Brandon has said that they were planning for a three-season arc. So in that case, ignoring those loose ends or trying to tie them up by yourself would not only undermine the value of this episode, but undermine the value of the entire season, if not the entire show.
