The more I watch this in the context of the show the more I realise this scene demonstrates not just technical insufficiency but a huge gap in doctrine. Narn heavy cruisers have immense forward-facing firepower; you can see in the way they destroy a Shadow vessel if they can hold their guns on them. However, their mobility is designed around an almost two dimensional space, and their ability to fire into the z axis is very limited. That is one of the crucial reasons why the Shadows are so effective here; they can move to and engage from any position, while the Narn are designed to combat Centauri ships with very similar characteristics. The Shadows also have a crucial weakness; their ships experience crippling pain from incoming fire, which is exploited later. Terrific show writing.

I think it was more plot armour. That and the Shadows didn't want to take over the galaxy, they just wanted to teach the younger races that their way was right. Now if you will excuse me, I will be in the corner with my... associates.

Always felt destroying it was a waist for the newfound 'co-existance' that had formed between all of the races. The whole "its a hazard to navigation" was just a poorly written script to give the writers/directers a reason to destroy it and have a definitive 'ending'. Had this been a real-world (or would the term be Real-galaxy?) scenario, it would have remained operational as it was, a place for the different races to send diplomats/traders/even tourists who wish to see other cultures but were unsure a bout going to other planets. If it needed more crew i'd have gotten it, likely a mixed-crew due to the nature of the place so no one side could claim to 'run' it. Why 'throw away' a centralized, neutral meeting hub? If any arguments came out in the IA afterwards, you'd have to find a random arse neutral area/planet to have the discussions at, and it'd end up being a different place every time.

i love just how strange B5 was in its presentation. so many creative risks in this show. many of the space battles are comprehensible but visually confusing, aliens in strange ships using strange weapons we can’t understand. this show leaned so hard into cosmic horror and i love that about it. the way that the shadow ship fires its little gumdrop attack or whatever is really interesting. the surface shines and flexes, and bounces a strange shape into space. that shape explodes. if space battles between aliens are ever to happen, if we are ever to participate, we may witness mind-boggling events. the only thing we may truly understand is that they possess powers we do not.

Eventually he accepts his fate and owns up to his mistakes, but is trapped by them. He does turn the corner and start doing the right things, but by them its Way to late.
