Problem is that the Shadow War was supposed to take up the whole of Season 4. Instead it became rather rushed. Season 5 was supposed to be the Earth Alliance Civil War. Both wars were meant to be on a much larger scale, however JMS settled on the Shadow War being high end and the EA War being rather small.
Now, WTF is up with this new B5 Captain (Lockley I think is her name)? Actress seems to have no personality, and while seemingly ok on the hotness factor, seems awfully one dimensional so far. And with Ivoniva promoted and gone, who does that leave as the XO?
Lockley is a bit rushed because they didn't even know they were going to have a 5th season until three weeks before shooting started. I think she panned out a little better over time. As for XO that feel to Lt Corwin, the extra who had a crush on Ivoniva and was always on the far side of C&C.
