I understand what you guys are saying, however, they established that the League members and the TEAM split up for different causes in season one. They all can't have been focused on one or two problems for five years. They got a lot done within the year of season one and it doesn't seem likely that they didn't have answers sooner.

As for the villians being earth bound, unfortunately presuming that they will remain earthbound is pretty amatuerish. They are super villians who are capable of anything. Plus they should have taken into account that since the home base of the League is in outer space, and the fact that Vandal savage managed to get in there, should have raised questions and shouldn't have limited the search to earth (assuming they didn't think of any other scenario).

The people on this board may all watch the next episode and the episode after that, but that doesn't mean that everyone else who is not on the board will do the same. You can't account for every viewer. I'm not saying that everyone will stop watching, but a significant amount may end up not watching it.

This is the challenge of film-making and that is why it's a risk. For example if Wally West dies, how many of his fans will continue watching the series? Probably a good amount but not what it was before which hurts ratings. And that's just one character.

I'm not claiming to be an expert, but these are factors that I have studied in film school.
