	Babylon 5 influences - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		I picked "Babylon" for the station, because a lot of what happens in the Babylon 5 story comes out of Babylonian creation myth, which says that the universe was born out of the conflict between order and chaos.
		The diplomatic set-up on Babylon 5 is clearly modeled on the United Nations with the five member Babylon 5 Advisory Council roughly analogous to the Security Council and the League of Non-Aligned Worlds representing the General Assembly.
		Overall, Babylon 5 strove for even-handedness in its treatment of religions, notably in the multi-faith gatherings in the episodes "And the Rock Cried Out, No Hiding Place" and "The Parliament of Dreams", although arguably the appearance of Kosh in the guise of a Christian angel was intentionally subversive.

		Jeffrey Sinclair, the commander of the station, was unsure of his assignment to Babylon 5, and plagued by two mysteries: a 24-hour 'hole' in his mind, and the reason for the sudden surrender of the Minbari on the eve of certain victory.

	Babylon 5: The Legend Of The Rangers DVD Review
		The television movie “Babylon 5: The Legend Of The Rangers” premiered on the SCI FI Channel in early 2002.
		Since “Babylon 5” was shot with high definition widescreen televisions in mind, I can’t imagine “CRUSADE” not being shot with a 16 by 9 widescreen aspect ratio consideration too, but for whatever the reason, even now on Region One DVD, “CRUSADE” set is presented in a four by three (1.33:1) aspect ratio.
		Given the fact that “Babylon 5” successfully completed it’s five-year run, the original series pilot “The Gathering,” which was recut and rescored for broadcast in 1998 seems better than it did in hindsight back in 1993.
