I just started watching it for the first time, and I am really enjoying it so far but there’s definitely a lot of dunking on silly “space racists” , diversity is our strength, being human first or Earth first is seen as a bad thing, we should all buddy up to these violent aliens for some reason, etc. I can see that Mass Effect borrowed a lot from it.
It hasn’t been bad enough to really piss me off yet, Garibaldi and Sheridan actually seem pretty based so I just chalk it up to well meaning 90’s Lolbertarianism rather than any kind of subversive faggotry.
Doyle was also very unpopular on set, with the other cast shit talking him in interviews years after, before he died. The two things are likely connected.

I know Jerry Doyle was a Wall Street guy before B5 and a conservative radio host after B5. So Doyle himself was a lean right guy.

I didn't know that. Thanks
Same thing with Tim Allen, James Caviezel, and Norm McDonald.
