iirc the series finale was originally filmed to be the S4 finale, which is how they get ivanova even though she left the show in S5. the S4 finale we got was a rush job when they found out they were getting a final season and wanted to keep the finale they filmed as the series finale
i agree with your sentiment though, if it was the series finale i think it would've worked well

Ah, that sounds right. It’s been too many years since I revisited B5, but I do remember that we were lucky enough to have Ivanova make one last appearance in the actual finale.
