Same! I really think if they had more than the 13 episodes we would have had a full AU episode, its simply they ran out of time and decided to mix two storylines together.
I 100% believe that Ms. Groves was biding her time to take Greer's place as primary asset.
really felt like up until 5x8 or 5x9 they were anticipating getting a back nine order, then didn't get it and were left with less time and money than they'd been expecting to try and wrap everything up.
Same, I really think they thought they'd get a back nine order, after 5x10, it felt like the writing team panicked in the last two episodes. Though, watching the back half straight through, actually makes the whole thing feel like chapters of a novel and 5x13 the coda/epilogue to the series then again binge watching sort of kind papers over a bit of the flaws.
