According to Pat Tallman's interview on the B5 podcast, Lyta and G'Kar had some fun out in space, hahaha.

I think some of these answers can be found in the Babylon 5 books. Just do a search on Babylon 5 under the book section of Amazon. You'll see some stuff there. Not everything is answered, but it does wrap up a few loose ends.

I have the entire series on DVD (including the movies). I don't have the Rangers or Crusade. But the B5 series itself, I've worn out the DVD covers because I watch them quite often. So, yes, they are worth it.

They didn't continue to follow them in B5 because they weren't considered (by JMS) to be part of the same story. They were considered possible sequel stories.

any1 ever wonder were gkar went wit lyta there could have been another series there

There was a short story written about one of their adventures together during that time. It was published in one of the magazines. I would have to look up the details again. I don't recall at this point.

or i wached the legend of the rangers i mean cum on there was sumthing there aswell they could have continuedwith that too

That was produced as a Pilot for a potential follow-up series. The network decided against picking up the series after the pilot.
