Actually, making the five year jump, then jumping back is perfect for the cake analagy. They gave us a cake (the time skip), we ate it, and now it's gone. The thing is, this time skip is a cool plot for season two, but completely innapropriate for the show as a whole. The show is called YOUNG Justice, it's not going to follow a cast of characters primarily over the age of eighteen. It's far too early in the show to make such an enormous change and keep it there, but this future plot line could make an excellent reference point in future seasons, ones back in 2011. There are so many other reasons that this new direction is right for the season, and wrong for the show.
