I saw "Whatever Happened to Mr Garibaldi" this morning on the first
satellite feed. If the TV Guide ad for it is a spoiler, the trailer for
Ep403 is probably worse. 

It begins "Sheridan returns to Babylon 5" and also shows Garibaldi on
the station. Of course, the scene is open to interpretation, but... 

I believe I recall you stating that you don't have editorial control on
the preview clips, is that correct?

However, I do want to say that the two final scenes (Londo and G'Kar and
then Sheridan and Lorien) absolutely blew me away. The two scenes were
very strong emotionally. Far stronger than the Delenn/G'Kar apology
scene, in my judgement. In each case, one person was being asked to
surrender to a fate that could easily end in that persons death, and
each one did.

One other thing about the trailer. The voice over makes mention of the
Vorlon's "Final Solution" to the Shadows. Do you really intend to recast
the Vorlons as absolute evil so completely or was that a clumsy writer
in WB PR?

Finally, I was giving a seminar for my company in Detroit Friday. I was
discussing Internet mailing lists and stated that I subscribed to a list
about a "science fiction TV show". After the seminar, a well dressed
gentlemen in his late 40's early 50's came up to me and said "Babylon 5,
right?". Thought you'd find that amusing.

Correct, I have no editorial control or influence over the trailers; I see
them when everyone else does.
