   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
