Totally agree with you on the Garibaldi stuff; the flashes of "something bad happening" are valuable; I find Garibaldi's arc this season really well-done and painful to watch (so much so that I haven't been able to make myself watch the last episodes of season 4).
But at the same time it bothers me that we're apparently expected to see all of his criticisms of Sheridan as illegitimate, when I thought some of them were pretty legitimate!
It's interesting imagining what this arc would have been like with Sinclair as the captain. Even more painful, because it's practically canon that Jeffrey Sinclair is one of the great loves of Garibaldi's life (along with Lise Hampton and alcohol), but at the same time I think that other characters would have been much more quick to realize that something was going. Sheridan and Garibaldi never had that same level of trust and I think that's what gives this arc a lot of it's plausibility.
