Whichever was the original unsold pilot.  The one with Delenn as gender
neutral ;-)

:Sinclair/Valen character in the B4 Shadow war and the Minbari Prime and
:Narn homeworld stuff of the same period. Doing "Crusade" as a five year

I like these too ;-)

(...and walter koenig as Bester was utterly fantastic.  Now *he* made
a great villain.  So many heads and shoulders above any Star Dreck
performance.)

:I was watching a movie with this character in it and thinking "Dammit, I
:know that guy's voice and gestures, where have I seen him before??" It
:took 2/3 of the film before I figured out it was G'Kar.

huh.  I don't know if I've ever seen him out of the gear.  Was it a good
performance?

:I also reckon Micael O'Hare made a much more commanding Captain than
:Bruce Boxleitner, but neither were ever as scary as Delenn in a bad
:mood. That moment during the first military faceoff with Earth was
:classic: "If you want to live. Be somewhere else."

Yes, agreed.  Bruce should have stuck to Tron ;-)
