Don't hold me to it, but I think Jackson and Doc intend on changing that special in-between episode into the one-hour premiere for Season 6, which would mean a total of eleven episodes. They're writing the next batch of episodes now, so I suppose it's still nebulous.
I know the contract signed with the network (per Jackson) declares that they have twenty half-hour episodes and one 60-90 minute special.
It could technically work either way.

Jackson offered a reply to a user on his Livejournal back in May as an explanation for why it took so long for Season V to premiere.
With all of that out of the way, I think we can reasonably have a sixth season by early 2015.
If they wrap the hour premiere first, they could start airing the new batch of installments when they're far enough into the production process. This could mean a late 2014 premiere, but I wouldn't bet on this just yet. We'll have see how the writing and pre-production process fares.

They don't want to give up control and frankly don't have the budget to increase staff. For as passionate as we are about TVB, you've got to remember how niche it is.

the sense of entitlement is STRONG in this thread.
the 2 guys do everything on the show and before the renewal it did NOT look good for renewal, so suck it up that we have a future with them.
ENJOY the fact that their vision will not be diluted but ENDURE the wait for the new content.
Go Team Venture!

Wow that's late as hell
I highly doubt Publick and Hammer are being paid the regular industry equivalent salaries for doing all those different jobs with those long hours.
Look, it sucks, but these are the circumstances that allow us to get the show at all, at least with the production values we now get.

Dr. Venture: Why are you naked?
Brock: To prey on their fear, move like an animal, to feel the kill.
Peter White and Billy Quizboy really, really, really drag the show down. Especially since they started putting more focus on the two of them last season. It's even worse this season with that St. Cloud guy "arching" them.
But how does "Sexy Destiny Dean" make you feel.

I like them both, but they're still in the realm of being secondary characters, at best. I don't care about them like I do the rest of the cast. I'd rather see more Orpheus and crew, if anything.
St. Cloud is awesome, though.

I completely disagree about Pete and Billy. I love those characters and that they're getting more screen time than before.
I do think St. Cloud needs fleshing out, but time will tell what becomes of him.
Billy and Pete aren't the problem. St. Cloud is. He's easily the worst character on the show.
But how does "Sexy Destiny Dean" make you feel.
I think you mean Hank.
I love St. Cloud!! There are worse characters...

But we've only just met him, let's at least give him some time to develop! I think he's been pretty funny thus far.

I disagree. He's the equivalent of giving Ghost Robot 15 minutes of dialog in several episodes. I love GR but there's a reason you saw him twice for 30 seconds and then he died.

I'm on the opposite of you on that. Love those characters, love White's new romantic getup and I think St Cloud is hilarious.
I really can't wait to see where this Albino Code stuff takes us.
Biggest laugh of last ep was when White's hair started on fire just as Quizboy saved him.
Whaaat? This is crazy talk. St. Cloud is great. He could use a rest, though. I think if we see him just one more time toward the end of this season that would be enough.
The fact that
Hank is STILL in the Destiny power suit
It fits him beautifully.

Hah! No, it's funny! And he has no idea why! Which is funnier! I feel like there's going to be a great payoff too.

Just watched eps. 1-4, had a freakin' blast and loved them!
Anyone else notice how the episodes are more...'happy ending'-ish?
I was expecting Rusty to fuck up and just end up killing all the interns, but it's good to see they were healed back to normal.
In ep. 2, I suspected URGH to be all killed off...and why the fuck can't I remember Venturstein?
Ep. 3 had a good end for Gary so hope it all ties up well for him.
I guess in Ep. 4, the payback was in the form of...all that money? Where'd it come from, did St. Cloud bring it with him?
Really liking Dean's new characterization, when he was burning his stuff, I was all 'Dean, what're you doing?! DEAN, DUDE!" Really liking him manning up but hope he gets over this phase.
Hank is hilarious more so than he should be. Still love the Monarch and Dr. Mrs./Mrs. Dr. Monarch relationship, and gatdayum she's still the hottest character in the show.
The Rocky scene killed me XD.
edit: Oh and Rusty is such a freakin' loser, but was glad to see him have fun during Ep. 4.

Venturestein is from "Viva Los Muertos!" in late season 2.
All but one of the Green interns did end up dying by being eaten by the Orange suits. So it wasn't totally a happy ending.
St. Cloud is like some heir to a fortune. That's were he get's all his money.

I counted the green guy surviving as part of the 'happy ending' I mean come on we all thought he'd die lol.
I am aware of St. Cloud's fortune, I meant how did the people on the Greek Island get all that money? Was that from St. Cloud?

Some of it was from Dr. Venture visiting every year, the last batch of it was when they sold the holiday to St. Cloud

Aha gotcha thanks.
Well it's good to see they got their revenge and Rusty is enjoying himself, a win-win situation.
Looking forward to the next eps., sad that they're be a total of 4 remaining, but I expect them to be quite entertaining.
