Never could get into that, though my daughter is a fanatic.

Simply the greatest sitcom in the history of television. It made me
laugh so hard once I passed out. My wife and I just rewatched the entire
thing on DVD (Christmas present for her) -- and EXPECTING the scene that
made me pass out last time, I laughed so hard I got red spots in front
of my eyes.

Yeah. "The Coming of Shadows," "The Rock Cried Out No Hiding Place" --
the scene from "In the Shadow of Z'ha'dum" where Vir tells Morden what
he wants -- 

"Who am I?  I am Susan Ivanova.  Commander, daughter of Andre and Sofia
Ivanova. I am the right hand of vengeance, and the boot that is going to
kick your sorry ass all the way back to Earth.  I am death incarnate and
the last living thing that you are ever going to see.  God sent me."
-- "Between the Darkness and the Light"

... and something that reads badly on the page, and was one of the best
uses of voiceover I've ever seen -- SPOILER FROM THE LAST EPISODE:
