    Hey, Babylon 4 lasted 1000 years. Give credit where it’s due.

      Well, if you do the math, it lasted closer to -1000 years…

    I’m only one season in, but they address this, right? basically saying humans are stubborn, and that they thought the Babylon project was the last hope for the human race so they really fought to make it happen.

      Yeah some blew up due to sabotage and some…well since you’re on the first season I won’t spoil it for ya!

      Suffice to say #5 is the sturdiest swamp station of them all thanks to the foundation the other 4 laid down :>

      They address it in the first movie I think. Sinclair is talking with someone (maybe Delen) and the chat goes

      Person: why Babylon 5?
      Sinclair: Babylon 1-3 were sabotaged during construction, Babylon 4 went missing 24 hours after going online.

        I think the meme is not saying why are there five, it’s saying why did they keep doing the same thing when it failed every time!
