Legacies: Important ep for the Minbari side of things. Showcases Delenn at her most ambiguous, and introduces Neroon, another recurring character. Unfortunately it also has an annoying teen in the b-plot, but as the b-plot also furthers the Talia/Ivanova, it gets forgiven.
A Voice in the Wilderness Part I and II: Introduces cool stuff about Epilon III, the planet B5 is circling around, showcases Londo at his most endearing, adds background to Garibaldi and gives Ivanova the opportunity to say one of her most quoted lines. ("Ivanova is god.")
Babylon Squared</>: Nifty on its own, mindblowing in conjunction to season 3's War without End, because it is until season 3 you will have to wait for the resolution. Very important episode for Sinclair and Delenn.
The Quality of Mercy: Ho-hum A-plot, but great B-plot around Londo and Lennier. Lennier, who might remind you of Wesley in that he starts out fresh from the Watchers Academy, err, Minbari temple and sticking to rules and ends up as... well, something quite different, gets introduced to the seamier side of B5 here.
Chrysalis: Season finale which rocks and makes The Manchurian Candidate, the 2003 version, looks pale in comparison. Earth politics, deadly conspiracies, Mr. Morden paying a return visit to the station, Londo making a fatal step, Delenn doing the same... this one has it all.
