Sic Transit Vir was so enjoyable! I think it might be my favourite episode (so far) of the series.
Londo vs the bug(s), Vir and Ivanova’s intimacy talk, Sheridan and Delenn’s date... And finding out that Vir has been helping to save the Narn.

That "DEAD! DEAD! DEAD! DEAD! DEAD!" Elevator speech left an impact.
There have been crawlies here I've taken a wooden kendo sword to so I feel for Londo. Vir takes on new dimensions with this episode. Lyndisty, I loved that nut.Sic Transit Vir was so enjoyable! I think it might be my favourite episode (so far) of the series.

Never before in my life had I reacted to a TV show like I did to Severed Dreams - when Hiroshi rammed, I actually sat up in my recliner and yelled "Ram it down there throats, baby!!!" God DAMN what an amazing episode. My wife kinda glanced over from her kitting and wondered if I'd had a stroke or something. 
I’ve always liked Vir. He’s just such a nice guy, and this episode solidifies that.
Written for that point.
The King Arthur one was weird.
Yeah, there's a few like that in the latter half of season 3. I think it's a combination of writer fatigue (JMS wrote like 83% of the scripts over the full 5 year run, the maniac!) and the knowledge that this is the last little stretch of weird one-offs the show is going to get for a while before the overarching plot kicks into overdrive.
Delen keeps saying to G'Kar "You have changed more than I ever would have expected" like three times in season 3, which is another way of saying "Wow! When did you stop being an asshole?" So I have no idea why he didn't crack her bone.
If she was afraid of G'Kar killing her when she admitted that they knew about the shadows all along... Why not have the gravity rings from the Gathering Handy? At least you know it can stop him.

G'Kar had a thing for what Narn would consider "exotic" females, certainly human and Centauri ones, and we know ...
... he used his prosthetic eye to perv on Sheridan and Delenn on their honeymoon.
So, he probably excused her comments because he secretly wanted to get under her robe.
Because he stopped being an asshole. Sometimes there are drawbacks.
Ah Babylon 5. I loved the mythology around the Vorlons and Shadows. So many great characters too.
The War Without End two-parter was so good! That end reveal!? Whoa.
I feel bad for Garibaldi for not being able to see Sinclair again though.

Instead of Crusade, or “Thirdspace”, a movie based on Sinclair/Valen’s adventures should’ve been made to fill in the backstory.
If they were going to to do that they probably would have had to recast Sinclair. MichaeleO'Hare left the show because he was having problems with his schizophrenia, so I don't if he could have handled being the lead of the movie.
He did do a couple Law & Orders and a Cosby Mysteries after B5, but those appear to all be just one off guest roles, which is very different from being the lead in a movie.
