I saw "A Voice in the Wilderness" after seeing seasons 3 and 4, and it really laid the seeds for the excellent episodes we got in those seasons. My single favorite part was Londo and Delenn working together to get Draal onto Epsilon 3 and into the Great Machine. The entire storyline with Delenn and Draal was touching to begin with, especially since I do know where Draal is coming from with trying to find your place in life as you get older.
You also have Londo, who still hasn't moved beyond the point of no return in his life. He wants to do great things, and still remain relevant as well and is offered that chance by Draal. Of course, that's like dangling the golden ticket in front of Londo and he grabs it and you really get a good chance to see how unselfish Londo can be. These two episodes truly feature some of the best scenes for Londo Mollari, especially early on in the series, and it's this Londo I miss terribly by season 5.
Some of the best lines:
LONDO: Physics tells us that for every action, there must be an equal and opposite reaction. They hate us, we hate them, they hate us back. And so, here we are, victims of mathematics!
LONDO: Now, landing thrusters, landing thrusters. If I were a landing thruster, which one of these would I be?
And, of course, there is the infamous ...
IVANOVA: Ambassador. Do you really want to know what's going on down there right now? LONDO: Yes! Absolutely! IVANOVA: Boom! Boom-boom-boom! Boom-boom! BOOM! Have a nice day!

Then there's Londo doing the Hokey-Pokey. ^_^
