"I apologize. I'm…sorry. I'm sorry we had to defend ourselves against an unwarranted attack. I'm sorry that your crew was stupid enough to fire on a station filled with a quarter million civilians, including your own people. And I'm sorry I waited as long as I did before I blew them all straight to hell! As with everything else, it's the thought that counts." I love that apology. Hahahahahaha!
I loved that apology too. Especially since it was what he was going to say if he'd had to do it. Ahh, good ol' Sheridan. Ego first, thinking a very distant second.
This is similar to the “apology” that President Jeb Bartlett gave to the ChiComms for being so incompetent as to lose a fighter attacking a USA surveillance plane in an incident similar to one that happened during the George W. Bush Administration, where for political reasons the USA had to apologize to the Chinese for its pilot’s incompetence at attacking an unarmed plane and their pilot died and our plane landed safely (on their airfield, as I recall).

I'm sure JMS had a HUGE grin on his face as he wrote Keffer's demise. (Keffer was only added to the ensemble cast because of network executive meddling; they wanted a "Han Solo"-type fighter pilot character. JMS balked but eventually gave in.)
To be fair I actually sympathise with the network on this one, though there was no need to make him a 'Han Solo' type. Having senior officers like Sinclair and Sheridan, security chiefs like Garibaldi and bridge crew like Ivanova flying fighters never made any sense at all. Being a fighter pilot in the real world is a full-time job and a highly perishable skill that needs constant practice to maintain proficiency. They should have left flying the fighters to the experts.
If you look closely, you can see him being burned down to the skull similar to the end of Raiders of the Lost Ark. Most graphic death included in the series, and it shocked me when watching the show as a kid.
Getting video evidence of the SHADOW ship was great, but there's NO WAY I would have followed it. I also appreciate how he was able to get that evidence to "the world". It's kind of like how someone records evidence of Police Brutality or some crime and uploads it to CZcams/ Social Media before anyone can intervene and cover it up or bury it.
thats the irony of the moment. he got the evidence he was looking for but that evidence ende dup being turned around and used by clark to justify martial law and a full takeover
How did the Centauri get a BOMB on the station? That Bomb had to have been specifically meant for Sheridan considering he only just now destroyed the warship and it was an act of retaliation. How did the Centauri walk around with a BOMB past station sensors? I needn't remind you that blowing up something in zero gravity should have sent shrapnel in a 360 degree spread and hit "everything" around.
Given that this occurred a few weeks after the end of the Narn-Centauri war, it’s possible the bomb was originally intended for G’Kar or to take out a bunch of Narns in general. Best guess, was the bomb was for a contingency and assassinating Sheridan fit that bill. I think it’s safe to say that the Centauri could forget about receiving an apology from Sheridan after this.
It was actually 2 Centauri who used a Centauri bomb. They also had identical badges on their tunics suggesting they were both working for the Centauri government, probably an Intelligence agency.
My one issue with some of these scenes is there is a dude known as "Starkiller" to the Minbari, the race every species is cautious of after the Vorlons. And folks want to F around.
Speaking of hell. Will you go to heaven? Ever lie, steal, used God's name as a curse word (O-M-G)? Still think your good? According to God's law, you're guilty. Wait, God loves you, he made a way out. God so loved the world that he gave his son that whoever believes in him will not die but have everlasting life. John 3:16 Jesus died for you, believe & repent.

The best part to me is that because of Kosh's appearance, this stands as the only apology he gives for doing his job.
I loved that apology too. Especially since it was what he was going to say if he'd had to do it. Ahh, good ol' Sheridan. Ego first, thinking a very distant second.

said he Felt bad for the actor but at that point the suits didn't care

🎵 there goes my hero... watch him as he goes...

Agreed

Well they were just looking for an excuse to kill off his character.
That guy in the beginning is the same actor that plays Neroon.
December 4th 2023, I watched this. Thx for uploading.
This "apology" right here was when I started really liking Sheridan...
How did the Centauri get a BOMB on the station?
That Bomb had to have been specifically meant for Sheridan considering he only just now destroyed the warship and it was an act of retaliation.
How did the Centauri walk around with a BOMB past station sensors?
I needn't remind you that blowing up something in zero gravity should have sent shrapnel in a 360 degree spread and hit "everything" around.
Very true
Station sensors may have been only set up to prevent people from importing the bomb, not from people assembling it over time.
Given that this occurred a few weeks after the end of the Narn-Centauri war, it’s possible the bomb was originally intended for G’Kar or to take out a bunch of Narns in general.

*a eye for a eye, a tooth for a tooth, a life for a life..... it's the thought that counts*
Smuggling, Black Market, Jury Rigged bomb from conventional materials. The usual.
Bobaklives I agree Sheridan did what he had to do and waren leffler paid the ultimate price to let people know that the shadows are coming
Those uniforms look fresh af
All the more reason he should not apologize. It was probably the centurie who tried to kill him.
It was actually 2 Centauri who used a Centauri bomb. They also had identical badges on their tunics suggesting they were both working for the Centauri government, probably an Intelligence agency.
Centauri Mossad
@@DLordSadow so they were intending on starting a war then. Where they agents of the shadows?
This is one of my favorite moments of the series. I would pay good money to see if actually said it. :)
Thanks for someone who likes my comment man this is a great TV show

At 03:34 sitting on the left in the train is Mira Furlan without her Mimbari makeup on. :)

What is wrong with you?
If I ever get into strife due to my ideals ort public statements I am so using "As with everything else, it's the thought that counts" in my apology.
