Dark Skies was announced as using a five-year arc, and in a recent interview
with the producers (Starburst? TV zone? one of those) of the Stargate series,
they've said they're trying to do a B5 arc approach, though not quite as
intensive. I think it's great; the more we can add new tools, the more
diversity we get as viewers.
