I really like the hour-long format, the finale, with the extra time, allowed the story to develop at a perfect pace. (add: Pulp inclusion was awesome!)

I'd love to see season five as maybe 6 or 8 hour long episodes, rather than 12 - 16 reg episodes. I recall Jackson and Doc mentioning that they often have to cut out a lot from each episode. Plus, only having to come up with 6 or 8 plots may reduce some of the burn out, and the different format might foster even extra creativity,

Go Team Venture!

Hmmm not a half bad Idea. And as seen with this they could fit way more into each episode.

I totally agree with this. Anytime they're allowed a longer period of time to do a story, it works out so much better. So many episodes in the past would've probably made more sense or felt better paced had they been allowed more time. I can't even imagine how badly done the finale would've been if AS would've turned their request down.

All that said though, I seriously doubt something like this would happen.

A slight nuance, but if they were given free reign to create longer stories I bet they would go with 2-part 30 min episodes instead of single hour long episodes. And I would not mind that at ALL.

But, oh man, 12 Episode Season, each one an hour long.

And then the finale is a movie. 90 Minutes, two hour AS Timeslot.

my pants are moist.

I would totally support a hop to "miniseries" format.
