1) Franklin also knows Sheridan from before, and becomes more part of the gang in S2. And I agree about Garibaldi; he never becomes tight with Sheridan and it's more sad than surprising at the end. 2)Both my husband and I initially thought the 'end of B5' flash was something that happened back on Mars, oddly enough. And so missed the connection with the message at the beginning of WWE. That sleeve bugs the hell out of me. It's not even like something she ever wears! 3)I had even forgotten the Minbari subplot, much less how it tied in. This re-watching is fun. 4) I thought it was the Vorlons who let Dukhat, and then Delenn, know of the importance of the humans. Here it is Valen. Which begs the question of why kill them all if you know they're that important, or did this come up later? *is confused* 5) Zathras is wonderful. And the first Ranger. 'We live for the one...' 6) As to the two meetings and 'old friend'; he's known Sinclair two years plus two times, and Delenn's known him two years plus (at least) one time, and both use the 'old friend' construct. Maybe two years on B5 is like dog years; it feels like much longer. I think the 'only met him twice' makes Garibaldi seem more impulsive and desperate for approval/validation, which feels right. Plus of course, I was under the misapprehension he and Sinclair had been under fire on Mars and so their 'meeting' was more memorable.
