I think my problem with Uhura is her "Guys. Stop it." It's just so ineffective.

In B5, Ivonova would have been the one stopping the fight with one whistle. Or Dodger would have been in the middle of it, decking guys right and left. I'd be okay with saying Uhura was the strong female character if they didn't write her as a very not strong character.

And B5 is awesome. I highly recommend it.
