Origins
J. Michael Straczynski first chose to set Babylon 5 on a space station for budgetary reasons. A spaceship that explores the universe must build new sets each week for the alien societies it visits; the space station would allow the show to stick mostly with standing sets, which streamlined production and kept location scouting to a minimum. Disappointed with the nature of shows such as Star Trek, which rely on self-contained episodes so viewers can jump in at any time, Straczynski sketched out an epic continuing plot with universe-changing events that would run through the series and give it a clear end point. -
