I like this episode because my inner geek likes the ship, LOL. The way the ship is rescued was a good way, I thought, to illustrate how easy it could be to get lost in hyperspace (and then attacked by Shadow ships, ugh).

I did like the speech between Delenn and Sheridan at the end... it may be corny to say so, but I've learnt more philosophy from this show than any other source.

Best line:

Ivanova (on being 'obliged' to eat more) "All my life, I've fought against imperialism. Suddenly, *I* am the expanding Russian frontier!1!"
