This season is an unintended aberration re: writers; I hope to use others
next season.

As for your story...apology not accepted because it is unnecessary. As it
happens, I remember your comments, and yes, at the time, they were hurtful.
But they came from honest criticisms of the show, rather than any particular
agenda, and I never have a problem with honest, fair criticism. Hell, I had
my own problems with the pilot, which I was determined to fix in the series.

What you did that counts is that you were sufficiently open-minded and fair
to give the show a chance when it hit series, and you found that the promises
were true. And now have said as much. What more can anyone ask of one?

Every line an actor speaks is written down in a script; the actor's task is
to find the character in that, and breathe life into it via the performance.
So when someone asks, "who creates the character?" one can say the writer
creates, and the actor interprets...but at the same time, that really isn't
indicative of the vast contribution brought by the performer. Londo in the
hands of any other actor but Peter wouldn't be *Londo*.
