Yeah, and the episode where Franklin gets stabbed and hallucinates is also based on JMS's own experience getting knifed in San Diego while walking around late at night due to insomnia (this is also why San Diego is a nuclear wasteland in the B5 universe 😂 the guy absolutely hates San Diego)!
A couple of years ago a web community was doing an organized rewatch and one of the comment moderators had some of the script books with JMS's commentary and shared a bunch of excerpts, it was very illuminating!
(Sorry if this is oversharing, but my parents actually met in a cult and I was in it until about middle school, so I found the portrayal of the Corps very resonant with my on experience as well.)
