I&#8217;m hoping that some of you have seen it too and can post your opinions. I like the overall story arc of B5, but the writing was klutzy at best. I mean, seriously, how many times do you need your characters to use the phrase &#8220;straight to hell&#8221;? Or how many times in the first season does Ivanova need to state she&#8217;s Russian? lol I never really became a big fan of the actors who played Sheridan or Sinclair; they just didn&#8217;t capture my attention (or imagination) for some reason. Even with better writing, I don&#8217;t think I would have warmed up to them. Mira Furlan as Delenn was pretty good (although I think she&#8217;s even better on Lost), and who doesn&#8217;t like Londo (Peter Jurasik)? A bad guy that we actually kinda like&#8230; That doesn&#8217;t happen in every series. I think my favorite characters are Lenier, Vir, and G&#8217;Kar, because they undergo the most change within the series. (Yeah, Delenn and Sinclair change _species_, but their basic character remains untouched.)<\/p>\n<p>Looks like I need to do something crazy at this point, like get some sleep. I hope there are a couple of you out there who have seen B5.<\/p>\n<p>Question of the Day: If you&#8217;ve seen B5, did you like it? What did you consider to be its strengths and its weaknesses?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The results of my poll show that I have a very diverse group of readers visiting my blog.
