I understand why they cut Garibaldi so much slack, though. It is Garibaldi. They all love him, and Zack was trained by him. Plus Zack himself made mistakes with Night Watch, so I think it is easy for him to cut Garibaldi some slack and trust him again.

Zach is easier to understand than everyone else. I mean, what is the status of alcoholism as a disease at this point in history? Wouldn't all that stress and trouble Garibaldi just went through make everyone a little cautious, a little concerned? Zach knows to look for a bottle but doesn't seem to acknowledge the danger. Lochley got it about Garibaldi. (Having just watched River of Souls last night; she really gets it.) Franklin should have. Sheridan I suppose was just too caught up in events and needed people he could trust.

I keep thinking back to when Garibaldi saw the signs of drug addiction in Franklin. He made that comment about sometimes you walk into hell just to see if someone will follow you. He wished he'd followed up with Stephen. No one seems to follow Michael.

Good point. I think everyone was just really caught up in things. Franklin definitely should have caught it and tried to help considering he's a doctor and considering he's been through addiction himself.
