Unfortunately for me, this first appearance of Bester really doesn't capture him as a character. He seems to really come into his own later.
And I liked this episode quite a bit. The B-Plot with Sakai I enjoyed. G'Kar really started to come into his own here with this line: "Let me pass on to you the one thing I've learned about this place. No one here is exactly what he appears. Not Mollari, not Delenn, not Sinclair, and not me." Since up until this point, he was treated more as antagonist. Mollari more as comedic buffoon. Delenn and Sinclair ...are more on the nose as they've been written, however.
