Ive noticed that the B5 showing dates seem to have huge gaps in 
the final 5 episodes. Like last season, the show did not conclude in May, 
but rather in November and then started right up after ward with Sea. 3. 
Why are the air dates so off? Is it because of the time it takes to make 
the computer graphics?

Start with a correction: the final 4 from last season aired in October,
not November.  That aside...

No, it didn't take that long to finish the CGI, since they'd already aired
months before in Britain.  We will have all the CG and incidental stuff
finished for S3 in July, in time for the August UK airings of the last
batch of episodes.  But PTEN sometimes holds back a handful of episodes to
put on prior to the new season to help ramp up the ratings and get a
running start.
