MonsieurChoc posted:I'd forgotten Na'Toth, which is bad because she's pretty funny, no-selling all of G'Kar's bullshit. She was an awesome character and then the second actress kinda got the idea that she needed to be subtle and she disappeared.

SlothfulCobra posted:Babylon 5 is such a mix of things. The show is sometimes shallow and twee and other times deep and meaningful. There's genuine drama and genuinely bad acting. Sometimes simplistic morals, and sometimes elaborate and complex showings of genuine conflicts between differing philosophies. The weird thing to me is how mixed babylon 5 is as a show- it didn't really work all that well for me, though there were absolutely parts where it did. While Londo and G'kar were wonderful, I thought Delenn was profoundly uninteresting and she got a lot more airtime than those two. The human characters were uneven and poorly acted, and the rangers just seemed a bit over the top to me. I found it really hard to buy the Delenn/captain stuff.

Neddy Seagoon posted:I'd say they're one of the better TV couples, just for being an actual relationship growing over time through multiple seasons instead of going from zero to "oh, they're in love now" with a single episode. I know, but I didn't find it believable that the relationship would be anything more than professional. happyhippy posted:Delenn is the main character in B5. Her acting is really not there and she's definitely a feature character which is kinda the problem with the show.

Timby posted:"Acting is really not there" is definitely the show's biggest problem (O'Hare, Jurasik and Katsula were really the only ones who ever stood out), but as KHS said, Furlan's ability to emote is better than most of her colleagues. Her biggest problem is having to deliver some really, really rough dialogue while still tripping over her accent. Yeah, that's true- I think if Delenn's dialogue was a bit more on point and punchy she probably would've been easier to watch. I thought Bill Mumy did a pretty good job, too, as well as the first actress for Na'toth.

ConfusedUs posted:Her "Why not?" in Severed Dreams is my favorite Delenn line. The rest of the speech is fine, but that "why not?" has just the perfect degree of dismissal. I thought it was a cool line but delenn's delivery was flat, much like her character overall.

Pick posted:I have NEVER seen a more wrong opinion on this ENTIRE WEBSITE. As the show goes on, they focus more on Delenn and Sheridan and put her more and more forward and it sucks because other characters who are less monotone get sidelined for her. I had absolutely no problem with Lennier who also kinda had that thing going on. I also thought the Rangers were pretty dumb and a bit on the nose for what JMS was going for.

Honestly, I found the worst performance to be Furlan's over the whole show- O'Hare did reasonably well with the material he was given.

Pick posted:I mean, I have heard people make the same claims about Mira Furlan and in that case I nearly flip Boxleitner, Doyle, and Furlan all put in weak performances on B5, some of the latter might come down to her writing, but I was never really impressed with those characters' moments.
