I was thinking of the elegance and symmetry of the structure of B7, how situations are set up, and then inverted. Let me just take one, comparatively minor example, which is Jenna being invited to take the Liberator and run, at the start of her journey (Cygnus Alpha) and at the end of it (Star One), and refusing each time, with that refusal having a different meaning. If that was the only example it wouldn't exactly tip the scales, but we can uncover so many of a similar kind, in each character's arc and in the multiple arcs of the different stories and the joint story.

A few more examples of come to mind:

-Gan saying he's willing to die for others in 'Bounty' - and actually dying that way in 'Pressure Point';

- Jenna and Blake sharing a joke about the self-destruct button in 'Cygnus Alpha' - and Blake talking about Jenna's death in the final episode;

- the scene in which Avon points his gun at Blake in 'Cygnus Alpha', and Blake walks towards him unarmed, but certain that Avon won't fire - and that same scene echoed in 'Blake'.
