Yes, it's so much harder when a show starts out great and deteriorates than when it's mediocre from the start.
Hm, favorites. I really like Ivanova and Dr. Franklin. And Delenn, G'Kar, and Londo fascinate me. I'd like to see more of Na'Toth, Lennier, and Talia Winters, too - there seems to be a lot going on there that I've only seen glimpses of so far. The scenes between G'Kar, Na'Toth, and Londo are such a neat combo of conniving, animosity, humor, and the deep feelings and beliefs they try to keep hidden. Delenn and Lennier are puzzles - well, the whole Minbari culture is, and I like that. They seem to be all about art and spirituality and peace, but have this strong militaristic streak, and Lennier saying looking a member of the Council in the face is not allowed makes me wonder a lot about their class structure. They also have so many fascinating secrets. Ivanova and Talia Winters both strike me as supremely competent and efficient at their jobs (but Ivanova being more open and having a better sense of humor), and the efficient-but-reserved character is a type that usually gets me. Also, I want to know what is up with PsyCorp.
And someone should tell the characters that Exes Are Bad News. So far, we've had Talia's ex turning into a god-thing, Ivanova's ex being a violent bigot, and Sinclair's ex dragging him into an annoying attempt at a romantic subplot which only got a pass from me because it was connected to the god-thing plot.
