Still such a great series.   One question on the Z episode.  Did Shadows prefer
 telepaths to run their vessels, they were better at it than "normals"?  Anna
was never written as a telepath but she was written to have been hooked up to
drive a Shadow ship.  Did the Shadows use non-telepaths in other ways in their
vessels or is there an error in the writing?  

Just two more points to add that sprung to mind (just catching up on missed
threads).

The Shadows wiped out those with Narns the telepath gene a thousand years
before. So they weren't using them at that point. If they used telepaths in
their ships then that would be a massive waste of 'components'. I vaguely
remember Garibaldi's head and neck areas being checked over after he went
missing? 

Clearly Mundanes were the standard Shadow vessel components up to the
developments revealed in Ship of Tears
