I always felt the use of actors was more plot-driven.

For the initial set here, they are just introductions to the principle cast.

Midnight: The world and setting (also Londo and G'kar)
Soul Hunter: Sinclair and Delenn
Hooker with a heart of gold: Londo and Garibaldi
Infection: Garibaldi and Stevens (Two very different characters so the episode doesn't gel but bless them they tried)
Parliament: G'kar and Sinclair

[spoiler]"And the Sky Full of Stars" (episode 10 by HBO MAX counting) is really when "introductions" are done and the show starts actually moving.


It's a show where seeing how the characters change is very important because they do. So they really have to hammer home who the characters are at the start. It feels a little clunky and redundant but that's S1 B5.

The pilot is hot garbage and should only be watched after you are thoroughly in love with the show.

Even then, it is dangerous. Like finding the coprophagy pornography your spouse did before you met them level dangerous.

edit: I have been informed that I mixed my latin and greek. I apologize and the issue has been corrected.
