This is the best episode to this point of Babylon 5.
The Centauri emperor comes in failing health to Babylon 5 on a personal mission to create a new era of peace between the Centauri and the Narn. Unfortunately, the political aspirations of some in high Centauri society along with the manipulation of Londo Mollari by Mr. Morden interfere with the dying emperor's hopes and instead a new war begins between the two races.
Mr. Garibaldi confirms there is a hitherto unknown race out there, which we know as the Shadows. Sinclair sends a message to Garibaldi about the existence of the rangers. Sinclair also sends a message to Delenn.
There's a metastory to Babylon 5, a grand space opera spanning the first four years of the series to begin with and then extended beyond. This episode is a critical piece in that grand story, an absolute must-see for that reason. It's also wickedly enjoyable.
The greatness of Babylon 5 for fans of science fiction is founded on episodes like this one. 10/10.
