So yeah, JMS didn't know if it was going to get renewed. He filmed the final episode for this season and it fits because it takes place 20 years in the future. So you get one more Ivanova. When the series moved to TNT, they wanted everyone to renew their contracts and Claudia Christian wanted a clause to let her opt out for a few episodes to work on other things. TNT said no. JMS said "sorry, but she left" and later on, JMS had his sour relationship with TNT.
So Deconstruction of Falling Stars was written.
I loved it when I saw it on television, but I found it kind of lame the last time and then JMS on the commentary talking about how deconstruction is bullshit because it doesn't believe in Great Men (or Women) kind of made it obvious that the episode was preaching at me (and man it really made those academic guys into total assholes)
