Sigh. Season Five. Certainly not my favorite. Don't worry about not liking "A View from the Gallery," I'm pretty sure nobody did, or at least very few. I'd say it was an interesting idea, except that no, it's not.
I haven't watched this season in quite a while, but I remember "The Very Long Night of Londo Mollari" as a standout. Of course, there are very few episodes that I really remember from season five. But I liked the idea of Londo having to deal with its conscience. The only thing I really love about season five G'Kar embracing the idea that people look up to him as a religious leader. One of my favorite explanations of religion ever comes from season five.
Aside from that, I didn't give a crap about the telepaths (what's-his-face annoyed me), and the only episode that I remember specifically other than the Londo episode is "Day of the Dead," which is the one Neil Gaiman wrote. (Dear MacSpeech Dictate, please learn how to spell his name right!)
