I know this isn't one of the most popular episodes in the show, but it was actually the one that made me into a B5 fan back in the day - I remember being very impressed by how at the end of the episode all of the soldiers that had been 'introduced' to the audience, both the 'good guys' and the 'bad guys', were killed, and that their deaths were shown as equally tragic.
Rewatching the episode now, I have to say that it is pretty cliche'd (though I still like the ending), and it would have been nice if we'd ever heard about Matok again :) But Keffer is surprisingly non-annoying in this episode.
Also, I had been talking with a friend about the white-washed worlds of Joss Whedon's shows just before rewatching this, so it caught my eye that the gropos were a nicely diverse bunch - there were men and women of various ethinicities in both speaking roles and in the background (and not just few token women and minorities).
