And...the other shoes drops. (Sorry, I couldn't resist)

This is another episode that's hard to watch out of context. It's wounding to watch Garibaldi flail them into war, having not recovered from the fact of his betrayal of Sheridan, or the mind-reaming he got from Lyta, or the psychic torture from the Shadows/PsiCorps. Good God who thought it was a good idea to put the man in a responsible position at this point? Zach, you really screwed the pooch not reporting him. It kind of mirrors Garibaldi not reporting Franklin, although wasn't there an ultimatum there?

The politics of the infant Alliance are fascinating; so many promises had to be made, so delicate a balance, and so much maneuvering behind the scenes. I admired the hell out of Londo protesting the bland reassurances from home...he knows how much they lie because...it used to be him lying.

The trial in absentia was an interesting way to go instead of having Londo present. Bringing him in for the coup de grace was almost an intervention.
