I never really got why it is so hard to get olive oil or other basic ingredients onto the station, especially if money is not really an issue.

True, but I'd hazard a guess and say that if Earth has a major problem by the time of Babylon 5's first season, it's a literal lack of manpower, given the War of Extermination fought by the Minbari against Earth. The last thing you would want to do in such a situation is, to mistreat your workers. ...

It is kinda funny how "dated" B5 feels with its death sentence and not free healthcare these days.

I am always surprised how many people say "Finally a real Star Trek episode!" without a hint of irony.

Backlash? I can not see any in the usual big anime places.
