I loved the parallels between Anna letting go for John's sake and John having to let go in two episodes. And there is a certain weird niceness to the idea that she got to say goodbye to him, even if he didn't hear it.

And indeed he did make sure they regretted it. The looks on their faces when he revealed what he DID know were definitely a great reaction, but even still, they thought he would do as he was told, which he showed otherwise by firing at that Shadow. Very likely a good thing that the entity didn't know he had planted that ship with a nuclear based bomb. You know, I always did wonder what happened to the third person in that room, if Sheridan shot him too, or if he died when the bomb hit. I know it isn't a big important detail, but I did wonder at the time. You did an excellent job of showing Anna's struggle for freedom and her acceptance of her fate. Nicely done.
