Oh yes, the joys of extended sabbaticals leaves me curious. Did Vera and Jessie forget about the season two episode And Now For A Word or did they not think it was relevant to their discussion of Babylon-5's attitude toward the news media? Also, fun fact, JMS was a newspaper reporter in San Diego before he turned his hand to writing television shows like He-Man, She-Ra, and The Real Ghostbusters. He said on the Babylon-5 newsgroup that his time as a reporter heavily influenced both And Now For A Word and The Illusion Of Truth.

Just because this hasn't been picked up on yet: For the Garibaldi plotline - if you go back to the episode where Garibaldi was on the ship, the person walking in at the end was wearing a Psi Corp badge. So their involvement here isn't a spoiler.
