Is it just me, or am I the only one who sees no point to a third
season without JMS?  He obviously had very bad feelings about how MGM
was trying to change the show, and with JMS gone, surely they WILL
change the show however they please.  (And if JMS didn't like the
notes they were giving him, I suspect I will not like them either.)

Not to mention the fact that JMS will no longer be writing for the
show.

To be fair, there is truth to that.  There's no question, to my mind, that if a
S3 is commissioned, they will put in someone more compliant with notes and
their preferred direction for the show, as they did with Dead Like Me, which is
why the second half of the season looks very different from the first half. 
They took out one show runner, and put in another who would do things as
directed.
