Good list!! I would probably throw "All Alone in the Night" in there, too, but I have no idea which one I would drop for it. That episode is what changed me from watching the show sporadically to being completely hooked.

The shadows remain one of the most effective and innately scary villains of all TV let alone Sci Fi.

Yeah, and I found the Vorlons equally scary.
