He mentioned in an interview with Trek Movie that the producers had plans for a sixth season, but the decision came from the higher ups. Therefore, the creators had to wrap up many arcs quickly in the final season.

I think so, if we had come back I would have been willing to do all 10 episodes again. Remember we started season 1 with 15 episodes. So the 10 episode model was much more acceptable, living away from home in Toronto.
