Babylon 5: Irritating Me

I'm halfway through the fourth season of Babylon 5, which is to say nearly done, and I find it a mixed bag. A complete story with season-length, not to mention series-length, mystery and suspense is a rare enough treat in television writing that it should be cherished. And I do like how there was all this foreshadowing and how the later episodes built upon the earlier ones.

( You can see the BUT coming from miles away )

Babylon 5 has an interesting premise and some great moments, particularly with Mollari and G'Kar. However, it has some glaring blind spots and loses its way by buying into its own hero myth. I've read the Wikipedia synopsis for the rest of the show and might skip ahead for more episodes featuring my two favorite characters, but otherwise the show doesn't grab me as it could have.
