It never occurred to me to construe the Vorlon test as BS, but I like how you've done that. It seems to me that on B5, there are two kinds of destiny -- what you think it is and what it really is -- which bleed into each other a lot, e.g. Londo seeing that G'kar will strangle him in twenty years without knowing why.
I also like Vir and Lennier's chat. Their friendship isn't made much of in the series, which is a shame because it's probably groundbreaking for a Minbari and Centauri to be so friendly.
As for Londo not seeing anything when Kosh rescued Sheridan, I'm inclined to think he was telling the truth because the camera doesn't show him seeing anything. (Unless they just want us to believe him.) It's possible that, given their pantheon, there is no one image that would represent a god. It's also possible that Kosh won't show himself to allies of the Shadows.
