ParticipantAs someone who's seen the rest of the season thanks to some friends in UK, I can also say that the last two episodes have some brief but cool moments for any Giganta fans.

ParticipantI've heard that when the X-Men movies started going, Marvel directed all its artists not to draw Wolverine as "ugly" anymore. And so now if you look at him he's consistently very good-looking. In the Astonishing X-Men title, he's even drawn to look a bit like Hugh Jackman. So there's a danger to letting TV people and movie people dictate the presentation of these iconic characters, because they clearly don't understand that the wellspring of interest is the comic books, and that as long as they generate quality interpretations for video distribution, the consumer audience will at least equal the comic audience, which probably works out to a few million people. And today a few million is more than enough – when you hear about a movie grossing $100 million at the box office, that means 12 million people went to see it.
I really hate it when the tail wags the dog in these cases. The reason Superman was "killed" off in the comics was to postpone Clark marrying Lois, so that they would still be single when "Lois & Clark" premiered. This way they could have the comic & tv versions marry simultaneously. Dumb.

ParticipantHeh, like soap operas, never say anyone is "dead" in the DCU or the MU, either for that matter . . . 😎
Except this isn't the DCU. It's the DCAU. Someone dies on-screen, they's likely to stay dead. Look at Dan Turpin and Solomon Grundy. (Admittedly, Grundy's a sort-of exception, but his second death is permanent.)

ParticipantI'd finish it up at 10, then run it at 8PM as a 'replacement' for Teen Titans from the very first season(before it was JLU) all the way through.
That'll give the assholes who canned TT time to rethink it. And no, I'm NOT being harsh.
The creators of TT were forced to go in front of a bunch of new heads of staff or whatever, and repitch there ideas. EVERYONE was. TT was canned. That's not exactly fair.

ParticipantWell, the neglect would be easier to understand if Viacom owned it. Since DC is owned by Time Warner, it makes no sense at all that the show only airs once per week, irregularly, on the Cartoon Network. Time Warner owns the rights to the show – one of its most popular – yet airs it at 10pm on Saturdays, when the kids are in bed and most adults are away from the TV.
With the new CW coming forth and the end of a few long standing Saturday morning cartoons / anime as of late on the current WB, JLU could be a real possibility as a filler.
CW = The joint venture between CBS Corporation, owner of UPN, and Warner Bros. Entertainment, a subsidiary of Time Warner, majority owner of The WB.

I'm personally hoping for just one more season myself. One focused on Starfire especially, since she's the only one out of the bunch who did not get a season focused on her, and she's come a long way from her first season of doing nothing but shooting green balls with bad aim. 😀

ParticipantDude, Galatea's dead, remember?
Not neccesarily. I don't recall anyone ever specifically saying Galatea was dead. While it is true she got zapped with a coupla jigawatts of electrivity straight from the Watchtower's main reactor, you must remember that Galatea is genetically Kryptonian, meaning she is VERY tough, so she could concevably survived, if a little charbroiled.

It's inevitable I guess. Everytime somebody mentions Galatea it tends to spiral into the whole dead/not dead debacle.

She didn't appear to be breathing…
