It isn't the same quality that they'd want for the series. I'm not telling you why I think they shouldn't, I'm telling you what Warner Brothers said the reason was.

They wanted to keep Lyta after the pilot but she wasn't available, so they replaced her. Talia was going to be on the show throughout and do for Kosh what Lyta did, the alternate personality storyline would've still happened but her old memories would've been recovered with Kosh's crystal from season 1. She wouldn't have been 'enhanced' on the Vorlon homeworld because Ironheart already did that in season 1. The hidden personality explains why they didn't nail her to the wall for helping him, as if Sinclair's bullshit really stopped Bester. Bester knew what she was. But she left the show, and Lyta was available, who they wanted in the first place (and who was a much better actor).

It all goes back to Takashima leaving the show and being replaced by Ivanova after the pilot. She was going to be the one who shoots Garibaldi in the back, she was going to have the secret psi-corps personality, and she was going to have the lesbian thing with Ivanova. She was the one responsible for facilitating the assassination in the pilot and there's some frames that give this away, they wouldn't have found out until the end of season 2. Ivanova would've entered the show as Takashima's subordinate and would've replaced her then.
