I thought Claudia Christian was awesome, and I really liked Michael O'Hare as Sinclair in the first season. Though Boxleitner always struck me as a lightweight in his role, and Doyle belonged in some film noir as a stock private eye.
Now, this would be the perfect time for a swear word.

My favorite character was Vir.

Vir, and his character arc, was great. I'm glad he got to be happy.
I liked Sheridan/Sinclair and Delenn during my first viewing, but it was the secondary characters that I fell in love with during re-watches.
My primary concern about a remake is that the CW's audience skews so young. I don't know how well the network will handle grown-up story lines.
I'm also, personally, much less optimistic (in general) than I was back in the day. While I love the idea of the Earth Alliance building and re-building the Babylon station and the way Sheridan crafts the new alliance in the last 2 seasons, I'm too cynical now to think it would actually work. I will be interested to see how JMS' views of interworld politics has changed over time.

I did love the moment in the first Boxleitner episode when he asks after Delenn and is told she's in a cocoon ... "about so high".

I mean, in the original Clark was in league with the Shadows, became President under questionable circumstances, and shepherded in an era of authoritarianism/fascism and xenophobia. He was just competent and mostly unseen rather than a spotlight-chasing buffoon.

It's less the space Trumps that concern me - agreed that we already had that with President Clark - it's how the divisions within are handled that worry me: now as red/blue; mask/anti-mask; etc. I'm not seeing much in the way of "the better angels of our nature" in the world today and wonder how that will play out in space. JMS had that conflict in the original, but the good guys always won. I'm less confident of that now.

Well, it turns out that Legends of Tomorrow and Batwoman have started a new series; on Wednesdays. I checked them out and wasn't all that impressed.
