In a way the Lost Tales feel like B5 again the way Crusade (&c.) didn't.
I particularly like this one; it is a neat little tale about faith in the space age. I like Fr Cassidy's realistic attitude to his faith, and I think he had a similar kind of humour to Theo, just a bit more quiet ("not even a delinquent seraphim left behind afte the general evacuation"...!).
I also loved Lochley quoting (well, paraphrasing) Revelations at a self-proclaimed denizen of hell.
I don't think it is necessary to believe that the thing possessing Burke really is a demon the way the Abrahamic traditions understand it. We've seen beings taking over the consciousness of others before, for better (Exogenesis) or worse (Keepers). I liked the fact that the question of its true nature was left open (Star Trek would have gone on to say "look, it's just another alien").
And, last but not least (and arguably first), I loved the opening titles with G'Kar's voice.
