The first time I watched the series, I had no problem with O'Hare's acting, but I was happier to have Sheridan after a couple of episodes. The second time I watch B5, I thought Sinclair was often over acting the part. It was not until the third time and beyond that I realized it was the combination of slight over acting with his voice and the lack of acting with his face that made a mess of the whole thing.
Funny, this is one of my more favorite episodes of B5. I like learning more about Girabaldi and how he screwed up. I have also been a big detractor of O'Hare on the show, but in this episode he actual showed some range. He frowned more than usual and smiled in a couple of sceens. It was nice. I sucks what happenned to him and I would not want that to get him off the show.
I also loved the interaction with both Londo and G'Kar. Very nice and it highlights again how similar those two are, just on opposite side. Very well done.
Before I saw this episode again, I remembered not liking it. I remember it being ham handed and blunt, but watching it again, I kind of liked it, though it made me dislike the doctor more than I did before (the character, not the actor). It bugged me because I could not put my finger on why though. It has been pointed out by others, Pinky and James K, why. I think my favorite part of this episode was the parents shopping around for help. Earlier in the show they are very arrogant about non-believers and their own superiority because of their beliefs. Then they are deflated time and time again. They find out they are only superior in their own minds and the rest of the universe does not give a damn about them.
And I have to comment on the lack of facial responses, again, from Sinclair. There were more sorrowful faces though this entire episode. Just his normal dull scowl.

Yes, most of the set-up is complete and we can get to the real story. I am looking forward to it.

I remember going to a movie and they had a martial arts demonstration before it started instead of the pre-previews.
