I always felt like Steven Furst was doing a pretty poor Woody Allen impersonation over the first season or so.  He does tone that down and get much more interesting though! And if nothing else, you will get used to the hair so it's much less distracting later on.

Reading some of your other posts, it appears you somehow enjoy B5 despite disliking JMS's writing! I'm not sure how that works . . . BUT, nothing unnatural there.  Just a wonderfully written and acted scene by JMS & CC that made perfect sense and was well set-up within the episode.

This is like the early 90s all over again!  I'm re-watching  ST:DS9 along with Zack's reviews (almost to the end of season 2) and now B5 gets started.  I have very fond memories of both series and so far early DS9 is better than I remembered.  Now to start the journey to see if early B5 is as bad and if seasons 3-4…
