Hooray! Babylon 5! Does this mean you'll do meta on it? *has hopeful puppyeyes*
Commander Sinclair's acting.
Hee. it's the blinking - and the way he Articulates.Every.Single.Word. And yes he is replaced, and there are good reasons why he is and yes, commander 2 is, IMHO, much better. So hooray!
Best of all (to me), in this show, history matters.
I very much agree with this. In fact for me no sci-fi show has been able to top the continuity and importance of history that B5 has. It has clearly plotted arcs, enough lovely foreshadowing to keep anyone happy (all clearly present from the pilot btw.) and it also has consistent characterisation. All the characters will change, but they do so in a believable way.
Have you watched beyond the pilot? Season one is the most uneven, but has some truly great episodes as well - and season 2-4 are great. S5 suffered a little from uncertain renewal, but is all in all a good season as well.
Who says chocolate isn't good for you?
Hee. obviously someone crazy - because chocolate is the best. ;)
