I've always liked this episode, and I love the handling of the union issues (although, um, having become a union member since the first time I saw this, I did have a number of flashbacks to union meetings *g*).

I also really noticed the way Londo gets it utterly wrong about G'Kar. It's another hint of the depths G'Kar is capable of later, his genuine and heartfelt beliefs (I expect social standing is a part of his upset, but more of it is a very real desire to practice his religion properly). And, as you say, of Londo's inability to understand religion.

Excellent stand-alone episode.
