I hope you don't mind me replying to your comment. :)
Between Ivanova leaving, Marcus staying frozen, Lochley and Byron being added, the turning of a bad ass 'Star Killer" who scared entire Mionbari Warrior Clans out of their minds, blew Zha'Ha"Dum to Kingdom Come single-handedly, told both the the Vorlons and the Shadows to get the fuck out of his galaxy, withstood torture and saved Earth from Clark into "wounded arm candy" for Delenn, and the way the rest of the B5 old crowd emotionally and spiritually shafted Garibaldi, well, it was an exercise in masochism on my part in the fact that I actually watched every damned episode. Good summary of the problems - although I would add Lyta being treated badly as well and I don't mind Lockley that much. I think it would have been very interesting if Ivanova had been in command with Lockley as deputy...
As for Firefly, I was impressed with the scope of what the show was trying to do, but the execution left much to be desired in certain episodes. It was as if the production company gutted entire plot lines just to save a few bucks in production costs - and it showed. God how I have it when a great story idea gets neutered becausse of either costs or political correctness! I didn't know that about the production company, but it makes sense with the way things seem to work in American tv. :(
