Heh. At least Pandora had the title and artist right. Just the cover was a bit off.
(Watched Midnight on the Firing Line and The Soul Hunter, btw. Oh lordy, my internal commentary for the second was almost killing me. I forgot how cheesy early B5 could be, though I hadn't forgotten that Michael O'Hare sounded like an awkward fifth-grader in his first dramatic production...)
Yeah, I recently watched the first six episodes again as part of what will be a very slow rewatch (uh...nevermind that I'm technically not done with the series yet...er...), and "Soul Hunter" is not exactly a shining star of quality. The idea is interesting; the execution...not so much. Then again, the same could be said about pretty much every episode in S1.
And ohhhh, Michael O'Hare. The second time around, I have not been as horrified by his acting, or lack thereof, but that's like saying the temperature today was only as hot as molten lava and not the surface of the sun. (I'm trying to keep in mind that the character had been a bit screwed up by the whole abduction by the Minbari/"hole in your mind"/EarthForce pooh-bahs not totally trusting him thereafter, and so he was trying to be circumspect and not ruffle feathers but it's hard.)
