However, an overriding "story arc" would be an asset to a production like this, IMHO. That's what made Babylon-5 excellent. They had a story to tell. They told it, episodically, over the course of five seasons, and then they ended it. They did the one thing far too many authors, producers, etc. in the SciFi/Fantasy realm cannot seem to do: STFU.
(I know, there was an abortive attempt at a follow-on series. It went nowhere. It also wasn't very good.)

If Star Trek is about humans, why is it that no one ever screws up? That's what humans specialize in. In B5, everyone screwed up now and then. Made the characters more realistic. They had flaws. They were us. (With cooler clothes)

yes, and YES.
B5 was supreme.
Crusade sucked.
You may have noticed, Crusade was essentially "B5: Star Trek"
...and people wonder why B5 fans panned the show!
