I like the other characters, but they really are the heart of the show for me in many ways.
I feel like they and Delenn are the most important, maybe? Perhaps because they're ambassadors. But Ivanova will always be the heart for me. The broken, battered, bleeding heart. Girl cannot catch a break, can she? *hugs Susan gently* *gets Garibaldi to hug her too* *g*
I think Vir and Londo work well against each other, especially in "War Prayer," which I watched this morning. I think all the ambassadors and attaches are shaping up to have interesting interactions with each other.
I have to say, watching B5 now and wishing for better effects is sort of like doing the same for Classic Who. It's just not a fair comparison at all.
Yeah, the effects I can live with--although it hurts knowing that DS9 was made the same year and looked sooooo much better because of a higher budget--but it's the blatant stage-style blocking and filming that bother me, because I know it was intentional. The way the actors stand like they're acting to an audience, and that there are only like two camera angles ever, makes it look like a made-for-TV Sci-Fi Channel movie, and that is not something anything with the obvious good storytelling behind it that this has should be compared to.
