Yes! It's a really great episode, and very very B5 right from the start. While there are some things about the show that take a while to settle down, it has a genuine personality right from the beginning.

I'd forgotten how much I loved Ivanova, though, seriously. Her first episode and she's already making cracks like "fifteen things, all of them annoying" and the one where she's threatening to snap Garibaldi's hands off at the wrist. This is not a show that's slow getting into itself.
