Yeah, ol' Badger from Firefly was a good casting.
I started watching Babylon 5 a couple weeks ago, after hearing all kinds of Battlestar Galactica bashers point to that show as how a sci fi series should be run, specifically pointing to the lack of throwaway (filler) eps.
I swear, I'm through the first season, and I'm still waiting for it to get good. I mean, it's been just good enough to keep me watching, but it's like soap opera quality TV so far, and at least 3/4 of the episodes have been filler.
It makes me laugh.
(I watched the show on and off when it was originally on, and thought it was good. Now I'm not so sure...)
I really liked the note at the end of the episode tonight. And I don't know why, but they did better tonight with the whole Kara/Lee/Sam triangle than they have in a year. Watching everybody struggle with her loss is good TV, in my book.
