Hour of the Wolf was just... you know, doom and gloom with sprinkled bits of awesome, and you pretty much covered it.
But on the subject of the second episode, and G'Kar's capture by the Centauri - not on the first time through, but certainly the second, I caught a really powerful moment. G'Kar asks Caragia, "Do you have any idea where Mr. Garibaldi might be?" And if you DON'T watch the two of them, if you watch LONDO in the background, the look on his face is one of surprise and even worry, and it's just GREAT. It really made me think about the person Londo used to be, that he and Garibaldi even spent some time together, had a drink together, etct, and now he's fallen so far that this is presumably the first time Londo heard about Garibaldi's disappearance, so it makes sense and it's fabulous in the scene.
I will admit I love this episode for Sheridan and Lorien (sorry) - but that little moment in the Centauri throne room has become my favorite of the episode.
Also, you're totally right about Delenn. I'm sure she was mourning Sheridan, but she was also going, "Well, fuck. He was supposed to help me save everything. Now he's dead. And Sinclair was a good candidate, but he had to run off and be Valen. Who's going to father my universe-saving baby NOW? Zack?"
