I think it was very admirable that the show’s management let Michael O’Hare leave the show when he became mentally unstable, yet kept him as an integral character of Babylon 5 story line. It was also admirable that not only did they keep him in the story line, but they also made allowances for his mental health when he was brought back briefly to close out his characters story. It was very gracious of them to keep his illness a secret. They even would have kept his health a secret forever, but O’Hare asked that they give the real for his departure when he died so that it might help others who suffer from mental health as well. Hollywood was not known to be kind to those who suffer from mental health back then.

The fact that JMS had the entire series laid out from the beginning to end is amazing. Even more amazing is that he had to change it all after the actor who played Sinclair asked to be released from his contract over severe anxiety issues.

It also doesn't seem clear in this video of when Sinclair contacted "Garibaldi and his friends" on B5 (shortly after being assigned as Ambassador on Minbar), as Garibaldi was still unconscious following his getting shot in the back and during that time Garibaldi was out of commission, Sinclair was already recalled/reassigned.

sloppy clip or just lazy watching of the show? sinclair knew delenn was grey council since a least the soul hunter episode onwards. he treated her as such at all times. sinclair also liked to gather inteligence and was able to gleam that delen was not simply "ambassador", but rather leader of the grey council. the episode of sinclair on minbar was a stagin area. sinclair became ranger one and then left for babylon 4, that he took back into the past while undergoing crysalis, becoming valen. only valen and valen's descendants, that is humans or minbari carrying sinclairs DNA could undergo crysalis. that is why delenn, a distant great grand daughter of sinclair, was able to touch the tirluminary and undergo crysalis. after the shadow war a 1000 years ago valen sattled on minbar, became head of the grey council, but knowing he only became minbari, but was not born of a minbari, his children were ostracised. still, in obscurity they survived and endured. after all Delenn was herself dscended from valen/sinclair. again crysalis.
