I'm sad to report that Nog's actor, Aron Eisenberg, passed away on Sep 21, 2019 at the age of 50. :'(

I now have this headcanon of Valen writing little "penpal" notes of advice to Jeffrey Sinclair in the future. He knows they'll never reach him, he just does it to vent since he doesn't have many others to talk to who know his secret.

There was a decent Babylon 5 / Neon Genesis Evanglion crossover fic I came across a few years back. Unfortunately it was never finished. https://www.fanfiction.net/s/1261272/1/Forgotten-...

Just imagine: Bester gets transported to the Star Trek universe, where he kills and replaces Chekov after scanning all his memories. Now imagine that in every scene, that isn't Chekov, but Bester secretly impersonating Chekov... Did I just ruin Star Trek for everybody?

Other B5 information resources: The Lurker's Guide to Babylon 5 http://www.midwinter.com/lurk/lurker.html Quite possibly THE single best B5 reference site on the net, with loads of behind the scenes information for every episode. JMS News http://www.jmsnews.com/ An archive of many of JMS' internet posts, many of which are referenced in the Lurker's Guide "JMS Speaks" sections. The Babylon Project https://babylon5.fandom.com/wiki/Main_Page The B5 wiki. Remember to cite your sources.

For more of the B5 universe, I highly recommend most of the novels. There was a series of 9 books from Dell publishing, most of which are unfortunately of dubious quality and are not considered canon, but there are 2 that are worthwhile. "The Shadow Within" (#7) deals mostly with the Icarus Mission to Z'Ha'dum, and those parts of the story have been declared canon by JMS himself. "To Dream In The City Of Sorrows" (#9) deals with Jeffrey Sinclair's life on Minbar after the events of season 1 and how he came to lead the Rangers. It's my personal favorite and is considered 100% canon. There are novelizations of many of the films, including "Thirdspace", "In The Beginning" (my favorite), and "A Call To Arms". They offer a lot of new information and perspectives that there just wasn't time for in the movies themselves. There are 3 additional book trilogies that are also considered canon: the Technomage trilogy, the Psi-Corps trilogy, and the Centauri Prime trilogy. The Centauri trilogy is called "Legions of Fire" and was written by scriptwriter Peter David.

Well, this has been quite the ride. I hope everyone else has enjoyed it as much as I have. <img src="https://m.media-amazon.com/images/M/MV5BNTBhNzFmODktMzY2NC00YjIwLWEyNTAtZDMxNTI1YTI5MTRkXkEyXkFqcGdeQXVyOTU1MzY0Nw@@._V1_.jpg"/> A few questions for Mark: Which character's development did you enjoy the most? Which character's development surprised you the most? If you could give your past self from before you started watching B5 one bit of advice about this show, what would it be?

Mark's reaction to that did not disappoint. :)

Ditto. This is probably the best series finale of any show I've ever seen. It breaks my heart and warms it at the same time.
