I thought the last season was kind of weak. It seemed like they should have made it a half season to me. Even after milking out a whole season with a half seasons worth of material, they still managed to leave some things hanging.
Yeah, the show through a lot in season 4 because they didn't know whether there would BE a season 5...
The PTEN consortium was being dismantled during the 4th season, so there was no clear indication the 5th season would be produced by WB for broadcast. A last minute deal with TNT meant the series could go ahead, but it was past the option date for the actors. Most agreed to extending their availability, but not all came back for the final season. Between that and part of the story for the 5th season being used in the 4th, the final season was a bit weak.
