General Woundwort writes: "There was no fifth season. Trust me. It was a vile rumor. It never happened."
The term "fifth season" refers to that agonizingly prolonged anti-climax that followed the climactic fourth season.
Best line of the entire series, delivered by the recently resurrected Sheridan: "I was dead. I'm better now." Unfortunately, the show wasn't. Dead, I mean. Or better.
Second best part of the series: At the climax of the war, the pipsqueak humans tell the mighty Vorlons and Shadows, their superiors by millions of years, to "get the hell out of our galaxy!"--and they GO!
The best part of the series actually happened BEFORE the show started, apparently just so they could call it "Babylon 5" instead of "Babylon":
They said it was *daft* to build a space station in a swamp, but I showed them!
It sank unto the swamp. So I built a second space station. That sank into
the swamp too. My third space station sank into the swamp. So I built a fourth
one. That fell into a time warp and _then_ sank into the swamp. But the fifth
one... stayed up! --Monty Python/Babylon 5
