Yeah, notice that Sheridan sees the Icarus explode in space, as he had always thought it had until Delenn and Kosh reveal the truth to him. As for the baseballs, if my physics is correct, they'd spiral around in the coriolis effect of the air in the central drum, probably eventually spiralling outwards and hitting something at high speed, so I'd hope that there were drones that went around and collecting them!

Hiss!" whenever Lord Refa struts on to the screen. One thing to know, this was originally supposed to air before In the Shadow of Zha'Hadum, but the burden of effects shots pushed this one back a slot. The hallucination involving the Icarus is what triggers Sheridan to go through Anna's stuff regarding the ship at the start of Zha'Hadum. Given the station spins, generating a comfortable 1G on the outside, and that the core monorail shuttle has super-low gravity with a handrail, I often wondered what happened to all the baseballs whacked high up into the air into the centre of the empty cylinder that is the core of B5. Are they drifting about there still?
