I quite like the symmetry of how in the first few seasons there was always some shady senator dumping a crappy situation onto Sinclair or Sheridan, and Sheridan the politician is going the same thing to Lochley.
Re: Offering Byron something - after he made the threats to reveal Alliance secrets Sheridan's hands were tied, he could never give in to such demands, certainly not that openly when the Alliance was still so new. Also, Lockley isn't in a position to give them anything either, her concern is keeping the station running and the rogue telepaths are a threat to that (not least because they'll be hunted by all the others for knowing their secrets), Psy-Corp was her only option.
No it wasn't. Sinclair would never have brought in Psi-Corps to assist. I blame Lochely primarily for making that decision and costing the lives here. Also they wrote Sheridan badly in these episodes.
What do you do when your freedom impinges on other people's freedom though? For example, does your freedom extend to actively spreading a deadly disease? There is a lady with active tuberculosis up in the Northwest US area now who has exposed many thousands of people intentionally and actively refused treatment for it. Is her freedom paramount over anything else?
For reference... Remember an episode or 2 ago, when that glowing-red-eyed being saved Londo from an assassination attempt? You might wanna rewatch Season 4, Episode 11 "Lines of Communication" Also... What was their M.O. during that episode? Funny about those Raids on Alliance Shipping Lines... (And to anyone that considers pointing out facts that we already know to be a spoiler...then at what season does it not become a spoiler to reference? With the Telepath stuff going on, should I avoid mentioning Season 1? Lyta's a main character in the show this season, should I avoid referencing the Pilot Movie? Calm down... 🙄)

Great summary… B5 is crazy but remember Sheridan has a lot going on. I don’t think he has time to help her to much… Glad your enjoying it!!
