   Mainly  (a)  cuz otherwise, Doyle is as gushy as the rest of the cast   
   about how wonderful the B5 culture was, and (b) there is  near-   
   complete lack of cinematic, theatrical or television credits for   
   O'Hare afterwords, and (c) because of JMS's near utter silence about   
   the entire matter of O'Hare's departure (in contrast, for example,   
   with his utter frankness about Claudia C., a circumstance in which he   
   was wronged). . I would expect JMS to be very discrete in a case like   
   O'Hare's (as described by Doyle), that's just the sort of person he   
   seems to me to be.   
   Nonetheless I admit it's all circumstantial, and since no one has any   
   additional information about the matter (which is what I was wondering   
   in the first place), that's about all from me on this.
