I know what you're talking about, with the raider guy and Lady Ladira. (Well, the dialogue for both of them is slightly OTT and corny, but their acting doesn't help.) I've always wondered why Babylon 5 could get such consistently great actors for the major roles--and such consistently bad actors for the episode guest stars.

It is odd, though they aren't always bad. I rewatched Grail on Monday and though I don't care much for David Warner's character, he's a decent actor.

Amusingly, I saw the actor who played the Ombuds playing Bishop Brennan in an episode of Fathter Ted later the same day.
