I totally agree with you on the high points of this ep -- G'Kar and the introduction of Bester.

I'm curious why you disliked Ironheart. I thought the actor was unfortunate but I didn't particularly hate him.

It's the flat delivery and lack of believability with Talia, mostly. Also the fact I've seen the "barely holds on to his/her humanity" concept done before several times, and sometimes better (due to better actors) in Star Trek. Or in Stephen King novels, come to think of it. I don't hate Ironheart, but I do dislike him for being the weakest part of the episode.
