This episode reminded me of Star Trek a bit, which is not in itself a bad, thing, but it does highlight how differnt it is from B5. That said, I am glad the hand of jms remained visible in the background, and I am looking forward o watching more of this series on its own merits.

The porn subplot/running joke was good fun and well-directed.
