I was curious if you could provide budget information for Crusade and Babylon
5? Namely what your typical "per episode" cost was, and what the budget for a
total season was?

For example, one of the figures I remember from the early days of TNG was the
"$1 million an episode" factoid, and I was wondering how things compared.

The average Trek budget was about $1.4 million, sometimes going to $1.6.

The average B5/Crusade budget was about $920,000 per.
