Good points. In general, you always know when I'm going to
start answering a question, because I begin to point at it in episodes;
I'm now beginning to point to the shadows and ask, "What do THEY want?"

The answer is coming.

Let me answer this way...whenever I'm going to unveil something
on the show, I begin to point to it in upcoming episodes. I've begun
pointing to the question of what the shadows want, and why they're
doing it. So, logically, I'm now going to have to follow up on
that....

Actually, Sebastian said that bit about dying alone to both
Sheridan and Delenn. Who knows, he may have known something....

Yes, if Kosh had run, which wasn't in his character in the first
place, someone else would've paid that price.

Londo still has chances, if he doesn't blow them. You'll see a
bit more about this in the two-parter.

Yes, some Vorlons do appear to us as female versions.
