When I first began watching B5 years ago, my friend who urged me to watch didn't tell me anything but that things got very interesting at the end of Season 1. This epeisode blew me away. I knew that it was all important but at the time, had no idea why. Even with its time problems and the fact that Sinclair left the show, this one still makes me shiver in places, in realtion to the arc.

Zathras and his 'Not the one' had me reciting the Ranger code. Zathras was wonderful. He got all the best lines, Londo and G'kar not withstanding.

This is probably my favorite episode in Season 1.
