I didn't like this as much as most of you guys seem to have done! I did like the Minbari twistiness, though; Delenn is seriously sneaky here. I got rather annoyed with Sinclair and Garibaldi for not pointing out to Neroon that it was his guards who'd fallen down on the job (Neroon refused access to the area to any non-Minbari, how are the humans to blame??). The internal politics are also very interesting, and a good set-up for what happens later on (particularly with Neroon himself, who is always an interesting antagonist).
Like likeadeuce, I was a bit surprised by all the anti-Narn stuff. I can buy it if we're talking just about the inside of their heads, because maybe they are that different, but even at this point they aren't purely enemy characters! It seemed an oddly casual xenophobia that I hadn't expected from B5.
