We still haven't seen that episode from the 2013 preview where Flash says, "I've got this." We also haven't seen Virgil make that comment "playing hero is startin' to feel pretty sweet" (so we'll probably see the runaways again next time) and the preview also seems to show Superman flying around what appears to be a reach ship with several other leaguers. Looks like they're bringing the whole gang home for the big finish. I didn't get to watch the episode with sound on, so I'm probably missing something, but the "I've got this" comment alone didn't really seem to indicate that he was going to die, just that he though that he could handle something.

Keep in mind though that those could both have been cutscenes that won't actually appear until the DVDs come out. In which case they could already have happened and we just didn't see them. The Season One DVDs had cutscenes, after all, so why not Season Two as well?

I suppose it's more likely that Virgil's comment will end up being a cutscene. I have a feeling that Flash's "I've got this" line will have something to do with Black Beetle's plan to destroy the Earth, although I've been wrong before. Also, I have some doubts about the Runaways making another appearance in this series. It just feels like this last episode is going to have an awful lot taking place, so that I imagine any characters not absolutely necessary won't be returning.

On a side note, I'd just like to add that I'm SO GLAD the team is now back in Kaldur's capable hands! Nightwing has been allowed to "run" things for quite long enough. It really, REALLY makes me wish this weren't the end for YJ.

This actually brings me to another point. Who the hell thought a new Teen Titans series, a show that's supposedly going to be nothing but comedy (that's right, no action AT ALL), and yet another Batman series that most certainly will fail horribly in comparison to past Batman shows (Batman: The Animated Series, anyone?), could possibly replace this? I haven't seen GLTAS, but I've heard it's also really good -- some people even say it's BETTER than YJ. The really sad part is that, because this is CN, they'll undoubtedly keep the shows afloat no matter how abysmal the ratings, just as long as they're selling toys! I have a horrible feeling that we'll be stuck with this new BS Nation -- uh, I mean, "DC Nation" -- for quite some time.

Is it even remotely possible that YJ could be picked up by some other network? I'm not too clear on the specifics of CN's relationship with DC, beyond the mere fact that they're both owned by Time Warner. But in all seriousness, given the treatment YJ has received from CN, I'm pretty sure any other network would be more suitable.
