   Well, I think it has alot to do with the way literary fans were in   
   those days.  B5 was the first show it was 'ok' to like if you were a   
   reader.  Every rant against media SF was prefixed by 'except for B5,   
   of course'.  To this day people are really fond of it.   
      
   Speaking of which, we just saw Iron Sky.  Clearly the effects people   
   were B5 fans, there were lots of visual references to it.  when the   
   good guys ships attacked it looked just like B5, plus gratuitous   
   rotating secions, and ginsu knife beams.
