actually, there sort of is a plot point beyond Sheridan's betrayal. It ties in with the Markab disease and as backstory for Crusade. At least that/s how I see it.

Also, if he could have taken his time, I don't necesarily see JMS letting Garibaldi off the hook as easily as he did.

Ah, I haven't gotten to Crusade yet. Although I'm not a fan of setting up new shows at the expense of the existing show, LOL.

I definitely think that a lot of it came down to the "we're canceled - no we're not!" dance there in S4. I make allowances.
