A nice provocative title like that should get attention.

I'm watching season 5 for the second time(yeah I know, I know, I just never could get my hands on it before). Of course I heard about the storylines and this 'Byron-character'. Having watched S5 I wonder; is there anyone else who just doesn't really like the character? Of course there are good intentions, there is the messianic pain of not being understood, etcetera. But after a while his agonizing gets on my nerves a bit. He looks like Marcus without BEING Marcus, without the indestructible optimism that he radiated. Good thing Lyta is there in a lot of the scenes because she definitely makes up for a lot.
It's just that I find Byron to be a bit unlikely, a man with that vision who doesn't know how people will react?
For the rest S5 is very good. Londo's storylines(and G'Kar's too obviously) are great again. And one of the highlights for me is the growing friendship between those two, you can see it in the small gestures and moves. I find that great acting. They definitely don't go around slapping each others shoulder all the time, it's done nice and subtle.
But Byron, well; I think two episode with him would have been enough.
Anyone else or is it just me(could very well be of course).
