I felt like this episode really stepped it up a notch. I enjoyed the look into the different sides of Minbari culture -- is this the first time the religious/warrior conflict is really spelled out -- and the look at the more Machiavellian side of Delenn. It's also interesting to see Delenn as someone who isn't instantly assumed to be on the side of the good, which is a dynamic that changes when Sheridan shows up, I think.
I also like Talia and Susan's story a lot, though I was a bit thrown by the force of the anti-Narn sentiment that Alisa expressed, and the others seemed to condone.
