Not much to add. This is one of my least favorite episodes. I liked the Amis/monster part better this time, but still felt it was overdone. The best bits with Amis for me, and the saddest ones, were when he regained lucidity. Those brief interludes, when he couldn't remember what he'd been doing, but knew he'd done something--that must be terrifying.
I also kept flashing back to Grail. And forward to Knives.
Did G'Kar have a foretaste of what it would be like when he will be the one opportuning people in the Zocalo to 'Beware!' Nice juxtaposition.
Stephen seemed totally out of character. We've only had flashes of him yet; it's like they couldn't figure out what to do with him. The first time through, I kept expecting the thing to pop out of the girl, and reveal that it had been using her to get at Stephen. Another odd thing that stood out was his mooning over 'having a family'. That just seems odd to me; kids? Aside from his fondness for the little boy in Believers, had this ever come up before, and does it again?
And lastly, why isn't ISN all over this woman! She'd be the story of the century! And what the hell does she plan to do back on Earth? Get a job? Doing what? Did she leave money in a bank account and can live off 100 years worth of interest? Who's paying for her ticket? Why isn't the military de-briefing her? What happened to the Copernicus?

Okay, more questions than answers. Did not like.
