ABC isn't going to cancel like 8 tv series in May and season 6 is confirmed. If they can't replace the other shows with anything good, Once may ride on its way into 7 or 8 (Can't see it going on forever because the writers sort of overplayed a number of things.). Yes, with the way they are wrapping up old plot points in this season, I think they are definitly planning on being done with the series by Season 8, if not sooner, but I still think they will need at least more than Season 6 to wrap up. Seeing what 6A is going to cover will help alot with figuring out what they are going for, if it is more of a side arc (like 4A) they are trying to extend the show, if it is more of a let's answer questions and tie up loose ends arc (like 5B), they are trying to get to the end of the show sooner rather than later.
