Now this one's one of the very interesting episodes of babylon 5, in that it's so stand alone that it really doesn't impact anything until River of Souls. JMS actually rewrote this one because it was "too much like star trek" which he was trying to differentiate the show from.
Knowing that it was filmed prior to Midnight on the Firing Line..and watching it again, you can really tell. The kinks aren't as well worked out as Midnight, and after watching that ep in such close of a time period, Soul Hunter really seems to be sub-par. I might be one of the few, but I never really liked this episode too much to begin with. Really cool concept, I just don't like the execution so much, though it does have its high points. I honestly drifted off and got other things done while this ways playing in the background so I don't have too much to say heh. I think River of Souls is definitely the pay off for this episode though.
