babylon 5 architecture

 
Towers of ilium has become a B5 addict. I'm not interested in treatment options yet--I haven't finished the series, and I'm quite impressed with the theme and topics on the show. In addition to presenting a plausible account of a descent into fascism, chaos, and galactic warfare, the challenges of living in isolated conditions are portrayed with a refreshing sincerity.

If humans ever end up living in space in great numbers (which I put a near-zero chance on) then the grimy, claustrophobic environment portrayed on the show is pretty reasonable. I'm not sure why the solar panels face in two directions. The sun is usually in one place.
