   I did read (probably on UseNet or Similar) that JMS did originally   
   planned/storyboard Bab5 to have a five year arc, but then, early in year   
   four, he heard that year five was a no-go, so tried to squeeze some of   
   the year five storyline into year four .. which, sort of, completed the   
   storyline.   
      
   Then the network *did* confirm year five funding, so JMS had to come up   
   with a year five storyline!!   
      
   Of course, this could just be here-say!!
