What happens with the future of Londo and G'Kar...is what you
see. Course, how they got there is the meat of the story.

And thanks.

I'm not sure if they're the bookends; everyone's part of this to
one degree or another. And yes, magazines arrived safely, thanks
again.

Thanks (and I loved Watchmen myself). It's certainly my hope
that our success with this will encourage others to follow in our
footsteps.

The element I couldn't quite fit into War....

In B2, Krantz says they found Zathras when there was a flash,
and he appeared in a conference room.

Now, I sketched out that scene when it came time to actually
write the whole WWE two-parter. What happened, basically, was that
Zathras was passing by a room where he saw the one piece he still
needed to finish his repairs on the time stabalizer. He slips in, as
best he can, unnoticed...the meeting goes on as he goes under a table
to get the piece of equipment...he finishes just as there's another
time-flash...as it ends, momentarily disoriented, he's discovered, and
captured.

This would've matched what was in B2, as I'd intended.
Unfortunately, it added several minutes of screen time that I couldn't
afford. I would've had to cut something somewhere else, and that
script was so tight it screamed as it was. So I had to fudge how I did
that and let the small inconsistency go. The only other thing I
could've cut, the one moveable piece, was Sinclair trying to radio
Garibaldi at the end...and I didn't want to lose that.

No, Londo does not currently have a Keeper attached to him.

It wasn't "airtight," it was "alright," which SHOULD have been
"all right," but the person writing the caption got it wrong.

And thanks.

You needn't concern yourself with the keeper...for a while yet.

No, doubt they were captioned.

Well, the reason Delenn dropped the globe will be gone into by
the end of the season; as for "when will (you) no longer be confused?"
that's rather outside my purview. Have you considered meditation?
