It was pretty weak. The biggest problem, to me, is that the clear implication of the last episode is the planet they wind up on is our Earth. Yet, they identified the earlier, nuked "Earth" as "Earth" by the star patterns they discovered in the Tomb of Athena--patterns which are, of course, taken from the perspective of our Earth.
In order to reconcile this discrepancy, you'd have to accept that there were two nearly identical, habitable planets in completely different places in the galaxy that somehow had precisely the same pattern of stars visible from its surface. That just seems completely implausible, and because no effort was made to explain how it could be, I can only assume it was an oversight; a pretty egregious one at that. As a whole, the last batch of ten episodes felt rushed and poorly thought out. I'd have rather they took their time and wrote something really interesting, or at least consistent. Oh well, at least it didn't end on a cliffhanger or some such shit because of budget issues.

eh? was there any implication that the star patterns in the athena tomb referred to our star patterns? or did we merely name our star patterns after the various planets/systems of the 12 colonies? its been a while since i saw that episode, were the constellations obviously our own?
i watched most of the series stoned off my tits so i could be missing things...

no doubt about that, i think its a real shame when you look back at how many random episodes they had in later season 2 and much of season 3, that could've been used to advance the plot at a more realistic pace. thanks very much executives!! that's tv though- babylon 5's entire final season was a bit of a letdown because JMS thought he'd only have 4 seasons.
