Because I want a sci-fi thread, in which I can enter the discussion too. And since my knowledge of trek is limited to TOS, and selected episodes of TNG, DS9 and ENT, here's a Babylon 5 thread of the same type. Your favourite B5 commander.

Me, I'll go with Sinclair. He was calm, calculating, looked good (better than the pretty-boy Sheridan, that's for sure), and  O'Hare acted the part to the i. Granted though, the character had no room for development, which makes it a good thing that he left after season 1.

I actually quite started to like Lochley, the moment when Garibaldi walked in and saw her having tea, and cracking jokes with Bester. :D

Hrmm... I would have tossed in Gideon too in the list. Even though Crusade was short lived they did develop him a bit ;)

The magical Sheridan nukes were just absurd. 2MT nukes taking out the Blackstar? :wtf: Even if you're taking into account the kinetic impact of asteroid fragments it's totally absurd.

And I'm not even talking about the 'flying-into-Third Space-artefact-in-spacesuit' thing. That was just completely downright moronic.

That's just one of the reasons I hate the guy.

But B5 is always praised for it's consistency. Well, this ISN'T consistent with anything. It's also supposed to be a somewhat realistic show as far as sci-fi goes with realism. This ISN'T realistic.

Seriously, he's the only character I truly dislike in B5 just because of his inconsistency and surreal characterization.

I'd much rather see Ivanova in command and him as second in command. :D Now, THAT would be a blast ;)

Ow, no. I liked Garibaldi. :D He's just too funny not to like. :D

I second that, Ivanova in command would rule. You gotta love her for her sarcasm alone...

But, nothing, and I say NOTHING beats Peter Jurasik and Andreas Katsulas in the blooper reels.

As for sheridan, the thing I disliked about him, was the he became so overly messianic and perfect in S4. Thankfully he started screwing up big time in Season 5, one of the reasons why it's one of my favorite seasons (didn't care for Byron, but didn't hate him passionately either).

Sinclair, because he is the only one who really feels like a commander. Sheridan is too casual, and Lochley feels too stressed out. Sinclair is... balanced :p

Although my favorite speaches are Sheridan's. Example...

Sheridan in The Fall of Night
I apologize. I'm .. sorry. I'm sorry we had to defend ourselves against an unwarranted attack. I'm sorry that your crew was stupid enough to fire on a station filled with a quarter million civilians, including your own people. And I'm sorry I waited as long as I did before I blew them all straight to hell. .. As with everything else, it's the thought that counts.

He sounds like a fun fellow, and has a kickass name. w00t.
