Gee anon, do you know any of this for sure? Do you know for certain what's gonna happen later on this season? Are you Greg Weisman or Brandon Vietti or any of the writers/directors/producers? If the answer to any of these questions is "no", then do not tell me that there isn't gonna be a jump-back as if you know that it's definite. Remember that Greg Weisman loves throwing surprises at us, so this season could go in any direction with this.

And also, no TV show writer that I have ever known has ever spent the first season of a TV show establishing good characters and plotlines, left the character and plot development at a cliffhanger at the end of that first season, started the next season more than 1 year after the events of the first season finale and then just continued on with that future storyline without jumping back to the present somewhere during the season. If you know a TV show writer who does that, then give me a name. But otherwise, there has to be a reason why most TV show writers don't do that.
