What I don't understand is why the show didn't give any indications of that in those first two episodes. Andy and I walked away from it shaking our heads at just how poorly thought-out and frankly *awful* the premise was. It's as if they wrote those episodes to drive away viewers like me, and to lure in people who didn't like complexity in their storytelling (and who liked naked chicks, if the promos are any indication). Having been cured of my rabid Joss-o-philia by Serenity, and my schedule being too busy to accommodate mediocre television, I wasn't willing to stick around past two episodes to see if things improved.
Andy and I also walked away from the first season of B5 after the first handful of episodes (I think Sinclair's wooden "everybody lies" speech was the straw that broke the camel's back), and didn't come back until friends swore to us that it had vastly improved. We're fairly ruthless when it comes to our television time.
