i'm a huge fan of the show and i don't think i could talk about it without sounding like a geek. watching the series you can sort of pick up on tolkien and orwellien influences which is pretty cool. the charater develpment is pretty cool and it's neat to see londo's character evolve from a bumbling, drunken washed up has been to a person of major inflluence and at the centre of the destruction albeit unwitiingley. even g'kar's character from strong and vengefull to whipping boy in the span of a few seasons.
fave episode would have to be the war without end 2 parter. they were basically non stop mark outs and reallly rewarded the long time viewer with refrences to things seen back in season one like what happened to baylon 4, how mimbari and human souls began to merge, and who valen was. also pretty gutsy by teasing the viewer by revealing the outcome of the shadow war and the fate of captian sheridan (with a twist). also seeing the context with which londo's vision of his own death at the hands of g'jkar was pretty rewarding as well. they were jam packed episodes, with non stop "holy shits". i also liked the episode "intersections in real time" the one where they interrogate captain sheridan, very well done. can't wait for the season 4 dvd and i'd strongly urge anyone into sci fi to check the show out if they can, preferably from the begining. i know the space channel in canada used to carry the repeats but no longer does which is a shame for people up here who never got into it..
