Because, as everyone knows, season 5 of Babylon 5 was the bestest ever.

It did have a kickass final quintet from The Fall Of Centauri Prime to Sleeping In Light. And, uh, some Psi-Corps stuff. Closure!

Well, B5S5 would have been much better with Ivanova. It wasn't the subject matter that was the problem for me, it was the fact that I didn't care about a single person on the command staff.

Ivonova was the best character ever for you?
Er, that one with the assassian was dull as hell. (Object at Rest?) And Sleeping In Light was season 4 produced, so it doesn't count.

You guys are probably the same ones that are glad that Peter Jackson decided not to film the Scouring of the Shire for "Return of the King"...
The aftermath may not be the most exciting, but it's always important in its own way. So what if it doesn't give you the same adrenaline rush?
(Note: I wasn't exactly fond of all of B5 S5 myself, but that was mainly because Byron made me feel sick.)

Actually out of all the characters I think that Malcom was the best... but Ivonnava had her points. All of them did to be honest--- each one of them were much better written than any Trek character. The Lt. Coran [he was XO in S5, but 2nd for most of the rest of the series I think] compares to Harry Kim in certain ways, but Coran is much better. I think that Lochley was one of the worst written characters in B5, but that was because of the situation with C.C. leaving. However, even Lochley was better than many Trek characters [may we compare her to Janeway who is two-dimensional in comparison to Lochley?].
Anyway believe it or not, B5 isn't about the station it's the story of Londo, which is a great story line in and of itself... I realized this after watching it all the way through and then seeing the first episode again... it's Londo that says "I was there at the beginning of the third age of mankind" in "The Gathering". Londo was highly involved in the Earth-Mimbari war, despite not wanting to be [this is what he says at the beginning of "In The Beginning", however he was the one that prevented the peace summit from being completed (although he carries that guilt he didn't know better, it was G'Kar's fault too if it's Londo's)]. It was Londo that used the Shadow's against the Narn, which was the first step in the Shadow War. It was Londo who made it possible for Cartasia to invite the Shadow's to Centauri Prime, which would eventually lead to the Drakh making the Centauri their scapegoats. More than likely Londo would have been in some way involved with the attack on Earth which started Crusade [he was still alive then, the Drakh were still on Centauri Prime, and they were using Centauri Prime as a base... Londo would have had to been involved somehow, with his knowledge or not of the events that follow]. B5 is about Londo, his futile and pathetic attempt at trying to get ahead landed him at the bottom of the food chain, a worm on the hook of the Drakh's fishing pole.

Well, no. One of the story threads is about Londo. Another is about Sheridan. Another is about G'Kar. Another is about Garibaldi. And so forth.

Well, you must not have liked him all that much, seeing as there was no such character to the best of my memory. Marcus, perhaps?
