"lt writing a 5-year series if you're left hanging at the end of every
season. If "Deconstruction" was written as a hedge against the fifth
season not being produced (as indicated in another comment), doesn't it
disrupt the original story line?"

You've got it backward; "Deconstruction" was written AFTER we
got word about the S5 renewal.
