No, no one's done an article like that, though Stephen Smith did
spend a week on the B5 sets for Sci-Fi Universe Magazine.

I'd much rather shoot 24 than 22, because it gives us more room
to spread things out, and try some different kinds of stories.

We shoot from early August through May 5th, so the cast gets
about 2-3 months off.
