Yes. I know she's a changeling. I don't think Delenn cares.
Babylon 5 just has the best crowning moments of awesome. Someone needs to figure out how to distill that shit and bottle it.

JMS has been trying to distil and bottle it unsuccessfully for years. He told an amazing five-year story over B5's first four seasons*, but then each time he goes back to tell more stories in that universe it becomes more and more clear that he can't come up with anything capable of standing next to what he's already done there.
*Context: they crammed the planned s4 and s5 into s4 because they thought they would get cancelled, but then they got unexpectedly renewed so JMS had to write what was effectively an epilogue s5.
Well, it is hard when the first four seasons was effectively the The Lord of the Rings trilogy in terms of in-universe scope.
Most of the planned season 5 wound up in season 4, but there was so much that some of it did wind up in the actual fifth season. Most of what made it wound up in the back half, which is significantly better than the final season's front half.
To wit: londo's arc
I wish there was a spinoff. I mean a good spinoff
I’d be happy if the show could be redone with modern technology. The CGI that was cutting edge when B5 first aired now looks very dated and I think it’s hard for younger prospective fans to get into the visuals.
I didn't know Mira Furlan died. She was still pretty young… 😔
from freakin west nile
Died January 20, 2021 Los Angeles, California, USA (complications from West Nile virus)
RIP... way too young.
Boxleitner is basically the only one left
Jurasik is still kicking around
Londo is ready to bombard the changeling homeworld with mass drivers
If the Obsidian Order and the Tal Shiar combined couldn’t do it, what makes you think the Centauri would succeed?
Competency.
It's hard to display any competency when your bosses are all hidden changelings interested on your failure.
Duplicitous lies, tricks and deceit are the basis of the Centauri governmental system.
Changelings are just another flavor in their everyday broth. Deception carries little merit in a system built entirely on lies.
God I love this com
Does Loki come with the full TVA gear?
For sure.
Well, suddenly the Minbari sound much less threatening.
