First of all, they didn't find out about the name of the Light during Vandal's prattle. Second of all, time on other planets is not the same as Earth time. One day on Earth could be 50 years on some other planet and that would be enough time to plan an invasion. Third, as [|IGN] and perhaps dozens of other fans and critics have said, giving details about past events in conversations is not a good way of filling in all the plot holes from the five year gap because it makes us miss out on the drama of those events and the character development and it doesn't really give us time to connect with the characters. Flashbacks aren't good either because they don't show the stories in a continuous manner and they don't give us as much emotional investment in those events as stories in the present timeline do. I'm not just speaking for myself; this is stuff that other people have said in a bunch of posts online. This time jump has really alienated a lot of fans and I, for one, am not gonna be happy until Greg Weisman responds to our frustration and tells us whether or not he knew that this move would be so controversial when he made it. 'Cause so, there probably is something good coming in the future. But if not, this show is doomed.
