It's a great show, it really is, but for me season 3 was the peak. Going into season four the nature of the best changed somewhat, and for the worse given what had come before. Up to that point it was clearly Vorlons good, Shadows bad, and then suddenly JMS shoves all this moral ambivalence crap down our throats. Clearly, he had this in mind all along, and I do laud the ambition on his part to make the dividing lines between "good" and "bad" a whole lot less clear, but there was no lead up to it whatsoever. Sometimes abrupt transitions are a good thing, but not in this case - it just didn't work for me at all.
