Agreed, though he wasn't to everyone's taste.

You'll enjoy Season 3, then... Watch Sheridan's smile slowly disappear!

Partly, and partly because most posters have moved over to the moderated
group (rec.arts.sf.tv.babylon5.moderated). You'll need to go through the
registration process (your first post has to be made with a valid email
address, but you can use a disposable one that can be spammed and ignored
thereafter) and agree to the fairly relaxed rules. If you're well-behaved
you'll be put on 'auto-moderation' after a while.

Some people reckon it's not worth posting there, but (IMO) some of the
discussions are very interesting.

HTH.
