Specific dollar amounts are secondary to one basic truth: the studios aren't in
the charity business. If a show makes money, if it is a *success*, they keep
it on the air. If it ain't, the show is history, it's that simple. If B5
were a "failure" it sure as hell wouldn't be on for a fifth year, and we
wouldn't be in serious, last-stage negotations with WB for a *sequel series*.
You don't try and sell a sequel for something that didn't work.

WB has made hideous amounts of money on this show. From their point of view,
it's a massive success. There's simply no other reason they would keep the
show on the air. Period.
