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



The 5th season of B5 would've been much better if UPN hadn't given jms the run-around. When it appeared to jms that B5 would be cancelled after the 4th season, he stuffed 5th season stuff into the 4th season, so the show could have some closure. This left little material for the 5th season when B5 was picked up by Sci-Fi.

Thus, blame B5's bad 5th season on UPN.
