I admit I was confused. If anything, with the way things have been going in several places for the past decade or so, it stands up better now than on release.
I’ve always found that anything main story is phenomenal and is as good today as it ever was. Anything that is a stand alone episode can be kind of wonky. When I think of what the best episodes are, they are always the arc based ones.
The standalone episodes are hit and miss. You get great ones like Passing Through Gethsemane or The Very Long Night of London Mollari and then you get clunky ones like TKO or Infection.
I've just watched it all* again (in @thejasondavis.bsky.social order; would recommend) and it still touches me in the way it always did. The Londo / G'kar stuff is proper theatrical tragedy.
* I'll be honest, I went straight from Rising Star to Sleeping in Light, skipping S5. Would also recommend.
I’m glad my order—the production order, with a few modifications where episodes were produced out of sequence—worked for you.
I’ve never watched the series without season five—too many favorite moments in there—but it would have been a satisfactory conclusion if things had gone differently.

Autocorrect is so unhelpful.
