It's a wiki page that anyone can edit. Anythingspossibleforapossible wrote: And as for those questions I've already said they're still questions. They may not be answered, but there still questions. Fascinating observation that a=a. But there's a difference between a tease and a question. The cliffhanger was a tease, but it doesn't actually pose any questions. Anythingspossibleforapossible wrote: You can imagine it in your own head. They could even say through speech, it's still questions worth answering. Asking "what are they going to do?" It's obvious: World domination, slavery, etc. We can imagine what they could do. I just don't see how those can't be questions. Because it never gave us any indication they were planning anything else. For all we know, they just shook hands, Desaad paid him, and they went their separate ways. Maybe the Light's plan for the past two Seasons has just been an incredibly complicated plot to get the Warworld into Darkseid's hands. Anythingspossibleforapossible wrote: And if you wasn't the least bit suprised by the ending, whether you assumed it was going to happen or not, it's a surprise because that's how it was set up. Otherwise you'd just think "Oh, a flaming planet. Lame. Seen it." It's a tease for what's to come. And that's why you're supposed to think to yourself "What's going on?" And no, I don't think it's a 100% obvious. Why should it be? Because you're basing it on previous stories? For all you know they could be setting up an ice cream shop. You don't have to question any of it. But let others wonder. I wasn't surprised. Were you? Can you legitimately say that, with the many references (to varying degrees of subtlety) to Apokolips over series run, that you were in any way surprised that Darkseid showed up?

And yes, you were supposed to think "What's going on here" when the Warworld flew before Apokolips. But then you see Savage and Darkseid shake hands, and there's your answer - the Light is working with Darkseid, and they have been for a while. You're free to ask yourself if they would do anything more, but it's a question posed by you but not the show. Fine. The show answers it for you. The keen eyed and eared fan wouldn't have to question it, but I think it may be different for the average viewer. I'm sorry we're not cold, calculating machines like you. You've connected the dots, but that doesn't answer everything. Be proud that you know the answers to all of life's the show's questions. But as I said let the others wonder what we will be and what has happened for them to get where they are whether those questions are posed in the show or not.
