SF is one of the harder places to fit on the left/right spectrum. There are a lot of military buffs who are conservative, there are the Utopian who are ultra liberal, then there are the unicorn types who believe everyone would be OK if we could all just get along. :)

A perfect example of this is the aforementioned JMS, overall I think he is liberal (he is a close friend of Harlon Ellison) however in B5 he was able to slip in some of the most interesting and balanced religious characters and plot lines I have seen on ~any~ TV show ever.

I pretty much stopped watching B5 in the first season. I did see one or two later episodes. For the most part, I was unimpressed.
