Neil:
No other episode violates the ambient ethos of B7 even half as much as this one. It is not B7 at all, it is the work of a hack writer with skiffy pretensions parasitising the series to get his name on television. I have no qualms whatsoever about excising it from my altercanon. I wouldn't do it with any other episode.
I'm surprised. There are episodes that I hate (and I've just unearthed my list of 10 worst episodes, and yes, DotG comes in at #3), but there's no way I'd consider any of them noncanonical. Just bad.
And all the black hole stuff which seems to belittle more than Follett showing us what a marvellous science fiction writer he is because he can regurgitate stuff that ninety per cent of schoolboys know anyway.
Yeah, that was my unfavourite bit too. But surely schoolchildren?
Awww! I had to suffer 16 episodes without mine.
I could have been talking about Gan...

Schoolgirls probably know it too, but have more sense than to get all excited over it.

Wherefore is this night different from all other nights?

Depends on whether schoolgirls still have to go through an obstacle race to take any science courses.
