Sheridan: This one was an easy choice - I don't like him because he allows thinks he is right and the show mostly supports him in this. His taking over control of Babylon 5 doesn't make sense with his total lack of diplomacy in most situations and the way that his character randomly changes to make bits of plot work is annoying. Also, the fact that most of the background that his gets involves more and more ex-wives appearing is not particularly interesting, especially as it is used to create conflict between him and Delenn.
Boy, don't I agree! I was sooo annoyed when stupid JMS got rid of Sinclair, who was an intriguing, complex character, and brought in Sheridan, who's, basically, the same annyoing type as Kirk. Or Riker. Or Dylan Hunt. Or John Sheppard. The same cocky pilot type who can do anything and can get away with it, without bearing the consequences, and gets to decide in big questions that aren't his frigging business, just because he's the Big American Hero (TM).
The ex-wives were really annoying, too. And despite what one might think of Lochley: to choose her as the commanding officer of B5, despite that she'd fought for the other side, based on the fact that they were married? Hello? Didn't that happen after having too much booze or whatnot? A truly thought-out and responsible choice, eh?
Rant away. The wasted potential about Delenn could make me scream and break things every time I consider how JMS has practically ruined a potentially fantastic character. Making her the bossy wife. Or the whiny wife. Or the flabbergasted wife. Whatever.
I'm sorry that I don't know your other fandom. Haven't even heard of it before, in truth. Is it a British series?
