The voting for this season should be interesting. So many fans hated season 5.

I didn't hate season 5 .. there were quite a few things about it that were quite great

.. there were just some factors about it that really spoiled a lot of the fun of it for me.

--> Byron
--> Lochley
--> Sheridan (whom I didn't hate in season 2, 3 and 4 .. but who became a really annoying diplomat wanker in this season in my eyes)

.. it payed off in the latter half of the season at least. Pity there is a first half of the season as well

I agree, people don't hate S5, they hate first part of S5, but, it couldn't be helped, Claudia was gone, and the threads had to be restarted. The threads started in the first few eps of S5 were supposed to be woven into end of S4, and the end of S4 action was supposed to be stretched a couple more episodes into S5, so there was a seamless blending, rather than an all out orgasm at the end of S4 and a restart in S5.

i actually don't think I hate any of S5, but, there are a couple episodes that don't quite work for me. I don't hate Byron nearly as much as alot of people do

When I went through season 5 there were a few episodes that I missed -- my friends didn't have them on tape, or only partially. As a result I've only seen Byron at his best and most impressive ("Hit me again") while I have yet to hear a single second of the horrible song people keep talking about. As such I don't really mind him.

Oh yeah. I loved the part where Byron was hit

.. Byron being hit GOOOD

Though his finest moment was still going up in a great big ball of fire. That was just awesome

We will all come together in a better place, a better place...

I never found them that annoying.

They certainly had their part(s) to play in the overall story, and the hatred you feel for Byron is basically the feeling the mundanes in the series have for him, for the most part.

I've yet to figure out WHY I don't like Byron...

I like EVERYBODY else so this is a tough one for me! I have no problem with any other telepath, rogue or otherwise...so I'm stumped! All I know is he's not my favorite!

I guess I can't say I never met a telepath I didn't like, huh? Except for that one guy...the Centauri telepath? Now that I think about it,

he was kind of icky, too!

It was the hair and the song

plus the overwhelming attitude of superiority.
