I managed to watch this episode last night, and hope I can watch the remaining two of season 1 this week. I'd forgotten an awful lot about it, and about how it dovetails rather uneasily into the two parter from season 3 (the name of which I'd forgotten, so thanks to selenak for the reminder. I can see that the later episode does struggle to cope with Sinclair's change of role, though of course it helps that Zathras keeps insisting that Sinclair is 'not the one.'
The Minbari stuff I'd completely forgotten, but seeing it, I was impressed all over again by how well JMS set up Delenn's transformation right from the start of the season.
The whole B4 time travel thing does my head in (as time paradox stories usually do), but it's pretty well handled for all that. Also, the reappearance of Lise Hampton is welcome, because it shows once again that B5 doesn't really do throwaway characters.
As always, the interplay between the characters is a joy to behold.
