I'd have to agree in part. I did like season 5, but it did have the feel of "the one season too many" What I mean is season 4 ended the shadow war, and that ending was something big. It got rid of the two oldest, most powerful races in the galaxy, and ended a conflict that had been raging since before our history. It's pretty hard to top that in the climatic stakes. I've often wondered if the story of the B5 universe was meant to continue beyond this point as you would never be able to find an antagonist as big as the shadows or vorlons. (unless you count 3rd space aliens) Crusade, and legends of the rangers seemed like ways to cash in on the B5 name, and popularity, in a storyline that had already passed its highest point. I kind of feel this is the reason that crusade never made it passed season one, and lotr never made it passed its pilot. Of course the fact that lotr sucked more than a hundred hoovers might have had something to do with it.
Season 5 was less than usual due to the fact that they thought the series wasn`t getting renewed so they crammed 2 seriers worth of plots and combat into Season 4.
if they had known for certain of renewal it would have been more evenly paced and Ivanova would not have been stuck on a Warlock plus Marcus would have still been alive but ended up in Crusade.
