I remember that B5 episode and it was a good one, too. Can't remember the name of it either, but it did give a good view of what it would be like for us average people to live in such a place. I particualt liked seeing the Brown sections, which were basically ghettos in space. No other show ever showed how the working class and poor would be living in the future. All the other shows had basically elite characters, no working stiffs. BG is showing more of that, like with the Crew Chief and the maintenance workers on the Galactica.
I guess that would be the space steerage
