Just finished watching "War Zone."  First impression:  Better than it may
have been, but worse than it could have been.  My main problems, I guess,
are the same as with Babylon 5 at it's worse.  Bad acting (in some cases),
and too much expository dialogue.  I liked Gideon, Matheson, Dureena(sp?),
and Galen.  I didn't care for Trace (but he's not a regular anyway, right?),
nor either of the two main people on Mars.  But B5 often had a hard time
getting guest stars who could act; especially during the first season.  The
doctor didn't really register with me one way or the other.

And, as I said, there was way too much "here's what happened" type stuff.
Yeah, it was a first episode, but I for one didn't need it.

Still, I did enjoy it fairly well.  I don't have anything more specific to
say on that point.  We shall see...

Couldn't agree more.

Buckets of exposition were what they asked for.
