https://www.foxnews.com/entert...bylon-5-actress-dead Damn. Apparently her health had been in decline for some time. I really loved her performance as Delenn, she really made the character the heart and soul of the show. Just another bit of bad news for you sci-fi geeks out there. That's something like half of the B5 cast now, maybe more.  I hate offended people. They come in two flavours - huffy and whiny - and it's hard to know which is worst. The huffy ones are self-important, narcissistic authoritarians in love with the sound of their own booming disapproval, while the whiny, sparrowlike ones are so annoying and sickly and ill-equipped for life on Earth you just want to smack them round the head until they stop crying and grow up. - Charlie Brooker | ||

Close! The last bit is "If you value your lives, be somewhere else." I hate offended people. They come in two flavours - huffy and whiny - and it's hard to know which is worst.

 Another shitty thing to add to the start of 2021. ________________________________________ -- Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past me I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain. -- | |||

Sad news indeed! Her character was such an integral part of B-5 and what made it so successful. She was a fine actress and I am saddened by her death. I notice wikipedia mentions her death as due to complications from West Nile Virus. | |||

She was an amazing character. B5 is still my favorite Sci-fi show. A lot of people nit-pick it, but most of the criticism seems to be over the CGI, which they claim hasn't aged well. So, what? I care more about story, plotlines, character development, etc, than the SFX. To me, it still remains amazing television, and the CGI is not bad, considering its 90-s era tv quality. There were so many relatively obscure actors that did phenomenal work on that show. I don't know Mira Furlan or Peter Jurasik (Londo Molari) from any other show, but their work on B5 was amazing. Others were great, as well. Stephen Furst (played Vir; he was Flounder on Animal House). Andreas Katsulas (played G'Kar; he was the One-Armed Man on The Fugitive movie and Tomalok on ST:Next Generation) Claudia Christian (played Ivanova; I remember her from a lot of mostly cheesy 80s movies). I didn't realize Mira Furlan was from Yugoslavia. Her accent was very appealing. Fear God and Dread Nought Admiral of the Fleet Sir Jacky Fisher | |||
