It was the dawn of the third age of mankind. Ten years after the Earth Minbari war. The Babylon project was dream giving form. It's goal to prevent another war by creating a place where humans and aliens could work out their differences peacefully. It's a port of call. Home away from home for diplomats, hustlers, entrepreneurs, and wanders. Humans and aliens wrap in two million five hundred thousand tons of spinning metal, all alone in the night. It can be a dangerous place, but it's our last best hope for peace. This is the story of last of the Babylon stations. The year is 2258. The name of the place is Babylon 5.

Babylon 5 creator J. Michael Straczynski has revealed that a single executive put Babylon 5 on the back burner... but now they've retired, the "floodgates opened".

Wonder why he hated it so much. Probably thought they did Lyta Alexander dirty.

I bet the exec pushed the Byron character and is still salty how the fans reacted!
