It was the dawn of the third age of mankind. Ten years after the Earth Minbari war. The Babylon project was dream giving form. It's goal to prevent another war by creating a place where humans and aliens could work out their differences peacefully. It's a port of call. Home away from home for diplomats, hustlers, entrepreneurs, and wanders. Humans and aliens wrap in two million five hundred thousand tons of spinning metal, all alone in the night. It can be a dangerous place, but it's our last best hope for peace. This is the story of last of the Babylon stations. The year is 2258. The name of the place is Babylon 5.

My very favrote moment with Zathras, he picks up a tool from his cart and says "No, never use this." It's a much smarter joke than it deserves to be.

I remember that scene, I laugh every time I rewatch the series.

The whole multiple Zathras' with the same name very much reminds me of the classic "Who's on First?" skit

Zathras is used to being beast of burden to other people's needs. Very sad life... probably have very sad death, but at least there is symmetry.
