Everything required to understand the TV series should be in the TV series. The source books expanding on it is perfectly fine. Me having to buy them to understand what the hell is going on is not.
Perhaps I didn't phrase it right. I think the source books expand on details for those who like to know "everything" or at least know more. I agree the show should showcase enough to understand what is going on.

While it would suck because it'd ruin the cool vagueness like all the other horrid time war stories, I doubt the episodes themselves would be especially bad.
That pretty much sums up my feelings on the issue.

Sorry about that. Residual frustration from animated Young Justice/Young Justice:Invasion I suppose.
