Re: the Alliance - you know what I really appreciated? It's such a little thing, but I liked that the Brakiri and Gaim ambassadors got to sit at the table alongside G'Kar and Delenn. A lot of the rest of the series draws far too big a line between "Regular cast" and "Misc. aliens who should sit down, shut up and follow orders."

Great point about the Brakiri and Gaim, you're right. I mean, I get that our regulars always could and should get the majority of the lines, but things like that help with the whole Alliance idea. (Reminds me of the detail with the Markab chair remaining empty for the rest of the season, which I appreciated back then, after they died.)
