My understanding is that Babylon 5 was always planned as a 5 year show. "Sleeping in Light" was filmed at the end of season 4 just in case they didn't get a fifth season, not because season 4 was supposed to be the end."Sleeping in Light" was originally filmed as the Season Four ending wasn't it? That is, until they got another season and pushed it back?![]()

The Cosby Show
Kids grown up and moved out. Cousin Pam comes to live with the family and the focus shifts over to her and her friends.
Frasier
Not really a shark-jumping moment, but after Niles and Daphne got together, something was lost. Creatively, the show seemed to struggle for about two seasons until it was back on top for its final year.
Spin City
Mike leaves and half of the cast goes with him.
Empty Nest
Kristy McNichol leaves the show. Dr. Weston retires from pediatrics and the workplace moves from the hospital to a local clinic.
What do you mean?I thought it happened when Rosalin was "cured" of her cancer. It's just so typical of TV to put a main character in a situation with no way out and then magically have the character get out of it at the last minute. nuBSG became just another show for me at that moment when the writers/producers didn't have the balls to actually kill her off. It's hardly surprising when they kill off Starbuck only to bring her back.nuBSG when they "killed" Starbuck and then she came back. Or anything about the Final Five.
If they had killed Rosalin early on it would have made viewers doubt if Starbuck would come back to the show after she was "killed." Is there anyone who didn't know Starbuck would be back?

You mean you didn't remember that scene...
...in the cornfield? Starbuck just vanishes when Lee was talking to her. Apparently when she originally died, she really did die. The Starbuck we'd been seeing since then was a HeadStarbuck - a ghost.
But that conclusion is not as concrete as you make it seem. It was left 'open' so you, the viewer, can decide what she really was.

I did watch the finale, that is why I put cured in quotation marks. It's easy to kill characters in the final episode (Enterprise did it and that wasn't a show known for being on the cutting edge), killing a popular, important character during a series raises the stakes for the remaining characters for the rest of the series.What do you mean?I thought it happened when Rosalin was "cured" of her cancer.

PlusRoslin did in fact die from her cancer.
