I have faith simply because in setting the 5-year (no, you didn't imagine that) time-line, Abrams specifically said that he wanted to avoid the X-Files trap. X-Files also started with a 5-year story line, but its success was so far beyond what they expected, that they decided to drag it out as long as possible. So by the time they finally did have to wrap it up, they had gotten so far off track that it was impossible to rein it in. Abrams has sworn that he's got a 5-year story and will stick to it.
