[Rockingham]

I watched B-5 when it first aired years ago. For me, the show veered too much between character and situation based story-telling and flamboyant space opera. I especially disliked the incorporation of smug liberal pieties of the Clinton era.

More than once I shut the show off in the middle of an episode, hoping that my next viewing would reveal the hopelessly shattered wreck of B-5 after an enemy attack -- the most plausible end for a UN adrift in space without the protection of a superpower.

You miss the part where the Minbari offer it that protection?
