"Survivors" episode for non-Americans:

Finally a proper Garibaldi episode. In the first part of the season he was a bit one dimensional and sometimes just used for comic relief. Here his alcohol problem gets established, which of course isn't the last time it comes up. And as usual we have Sinclair obeying orders from Earth in malicious compliance creative ways, which is always fun.
Realized I missed replying to this one!
I think I struggle with Garibaldi falling into the bottle as an episode. I think that the addiction is dealt better with in the future and the MC as "fugitive" is done better without that piece involved. I really forgot how much of the first season was "bad guys target/kidnap/frame/torture main character" typically Sinclair but also Delenn, Londo and Garibaldi. Ivanova gets let off the hook and Londo and G'Kar mostly torment each other (they're very much the clowns of the first season and the actors are up to the task).
I do think this is where Sinclair starts getting really cavalier with his "technically correct" loopholes. This is the President's advance security team.... Sure she's on a vengeance mission... But yeah. It works out I guess.
