JMS-
I was *very* happy you responded to someone else's question that the finale
will end up
ok the way that it is.  The question occurred to me as well but I was too
chicken to post the
question and now I *have* to say something because another question replaced
that one.

I certainly don't want a spoiler, but if all of season 4 was shot before the
problems concerning CC
and the beginning of shooting season 5 happened how are you going to avoid
lines like

"1st Person      ' Where's Ivonova?'
2nd person       'The Captain sent her on a mission.'  "


(although you have successfully wiggled out of every problem so far and I
have enjoyed B5
 a great deal).  Thank for the show, the response, and the thought that your
show induces.
Russ

Two ways: one, we'll actually be able to deal with this in 421 by changing
just a few words in a particular scene...you'll know it when you see it. 
In 421 you'll know where she's going to be for the next year.

Also, in 505 and elsewhere, we do have some talk about Ivanova, not just
thrown in, but as explanation for Lochley's arrival and the like.
