Yeah... Matt...I did get that.  I'm not being dense.  What I said was that it 
sounded to _me_ as though these stories are going to _feature_ characters we 
know and love.  Just my opinion from what I've read.  And based on that, 
something like "A View From the Gallery" wouldn't qualify, as it _features_ 
neither Delenn, Sheridan, Byron, nor any other regular.

And honestly...I don't know about anybody else, but I'm not quite ready to 
see an episode that talks about G'Kar, tells a story that happens to G'Kar, 
all by having _other people talk about G'Kar_ and never showing him in the 
episode.  That would be some pretty emphatic punctuation to what's still a 
fairly fresh wound, IMHO.

I guess we'll all have to wait and see.
