They could have an ongoing theme all season while incorporating shorter stories for each episode, like the seasons of new Doctor Who did with Bad Wolf or Torchwood mentions with a season finale that brings together the themes and resolves the plot.

Focusing on one story for the whole season, like a mini-series, allows more time to go into details of that plot. But there could also be more opportunity for character development in stand-alone episodes, where the show isn't so rushed for time. With a five episode season they seemed to always be moving on to the next stage and there could have been more time spent on some aspects. With a 13 episode season the viewers are allowed to get to know the characters better since they had more room for telling various stories, so I prefer that format.
