Darkseid appearing and getting booted off earth in the last episode is anticlimactic, Darkseid running around Earth is about the loosest end there could possibly be. I think that Desaad will definitely make an appearance and his specific role in all of this will be explained (is he the mastermind? Is he secretly a member of the Light? Is he just an equipment supplier? we don't know). You read a lot between the lines, don't you? Especially what's not written. I never said anything about Darkseid appearing and being defeated. I said that he would likely appear. And that would not be a loose end, it would be an open-end. I didn't read Greg saying anything about not ending the show with an open-end or cliffhanger.

And this tendency to over-interpret and twist Greg's answers to underpin personal pet theories is honestly getting annoying. Your exact words were "Darkseid appearing is not a loose end, it's a tied one." If his story is not resolved, that would certainly be a loose end, and open end, a cliffhanger, or whatever you want to call it. I don't see the difference. He said on ask greg that he was going to leave some things open, but was wrapping most stuff up. And I was just citing 2 possiblities for what they could do: have him get beaten or leave it open. Greg said that he wasn't leaving that much open, and that the main plot would be resolved. And I didn't really twist what he said. I'm just saying that he said that he wasn't leaving that much open, and I personally can't see how they could drop Darkseid in now without it ending up being a loose end/open end.
