Yep, the initial premise was stupid. The villains never should have been able to pull it off.

I see your point. However, two things:
- There's little overstating how much of an advantage ambush provides
- Dr. Mid-Nite's abilities alone indicate that we can't assume the show's JSA are exact interpretations of the comics.
Dr. Fate and The Spectre may have been a good bit more manageable than they were in the comics, just as I don't recall the original comics putting the kind of handcuffs on The Thunderbolt the show has done.

What bothers me more is that the ISA killed the JSA, disappeared and then...no one cared.
I know it's hard to convincing portray the law enforcement response, but it still seems weird that no one cared about an organization so powerful just vanishing after killing the most powerful heroes.
The premise is problematic. In our world, once powerful beings were known, such as a GL, Flash, Spectre, Fate, etc. - they wouldn't be mystery men for long. Government, academics, industrial scientists would be all over them to discover and/or control their secrets and abilities. Whole university departments and government labs would be in existence to delve into these processes.
Secret identities would never really work except for those who could remove themselves from reality such as Fate or Spectre.
Except that they had a headquarters that was still standing, and somewhat operational. Remember that Jade crashed there in season 2.
People might not notice, but I find it hard to imagine that the government didn't.
Eh, depends on their powers and hell, relationship with the government.
Flash would be hard to track down, and GL could threaten to retire unless they gave them some space.
I just hope it's a good moment when Courtney finally calls Pat "Dad" in the finale.
Though I think it's dumb they delayed it this long, since she told him she was his daughter in the Season 1 finale
Looking at the JSA team now, it's all physical based powers and TB. Unless they make a wish for TB to do something crazy, how do they win?
Great finale. Awesome to see Jay Garrick again.
Not sure how I feel. It was well done, and yes, seeing Jay was great, but kinda sad that it's over. It didn't have the run it should have, that other CW shows did, and this was one of the better done shows.
There came a time when the Old Gods died! The Brave died with the Cunning! The Noble perished locked in battle with unleashed Evil! It was the last day for them! An ancient era was passing in fiery holocaust!
