Coming along very late, to add - well, not very much. I thought it a good, solid episode with a great one-off character in Neeoma Connolly (I think she's name-dropped in later episodes but never seen in person again) and a very welcome look into the grittier side of things on B5 where people actually get their hands dirty (something we never saw in Star Trek).

The Londo/G'Kar subplot is excellent. I think this was the first episode where I really disliked Londo. Before, his hatred of G'Kar seemed personal. In this episode, it became a racial thing. Of course, their relationship will go on to transcend that, but here I found Londo's attitude despicable.
