As an 'original' member of B7 fandom, I gave up watching Season 4 - it and season 3 contradicted so much of what had happened in Seasons 1 and 2. I am not the only one, either.
The writing in Season 3 was bad, and 4 awful. Paul Darrow needs a very strong director or someone to sit on him. I am told - by people in a position to know - that Gareth Thomas fulfilled this function in Seasons 1 and 2, mainly by stopping a scene and slowly applauding Mr Darrow's overacting. I loved B7 - but, as we used to say in Starsky and Hutch fandom, "There is no fourth season."
