Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed BSG and watched it all, and agree with your thoughts on the genesis of its darkness. But there were times when that darkness was wearying to watch, just as there were times in B5 when the saccharine was sprinkled on too thick. I love Delenn, but her speeches about the purposes of the…

While I agree that JMS' writing is imperfect and that his protagonists are too idealistically portrayed to an extent, I would like to offer a contrasting view. Like @avclub-23dc117ef9479407fb6c6a666005af40:disqus I have found myself unable to hold back to two episodes a week once I got to the "good stuff."
