(This, btw, is why Garibaldi's s4 storyline doesn't have quite the intended impact for me - I mean, it's horrible for Garibaldi in any case, but JMS clearly went for a "best friend forced to betray best friend" scenario, and Sheridan and Garibaldi simply weren't. With Sinclair, the same scenes would have been even more powerful.)

One of the things that I remember from the script books that didn't get on the screen as much as JMS wanted was the idea that the life-energy transfer from Revelations in Season 2 really did mean they shared more than just energy, that they became like brothers, in a way. That would have made the betrayal much sharper. But it never really came off as well as it should have.
