I was there at the dawn of the third age of mankind. It began in the Earth year 2257, with the founding of the last of the Babylon stations, located deep in neutral space. It was a port of call for refugees, smugglers, businessmen, diplomats. . . and travelers from a hundred worlds. Could be a dangerous place – but we accepted the risk, because Babylon 5 was our last, best hope for peace. Under the leadership of its final commander, Babylon 5 was a dream given form: a dream of a galaxy without war, when species from different worlds could live side by side in mutual respect. A dream that was in danger as never before, by the arrival of one man on a mission of destruction. Babylon 5 was the last of the Babylon stations. This is its story….

When you start a rewatch of Babylon 5 after many many years.
And you realise that there must be loads of content on tumblr.
But you can't really interact with it because the person you're watching it with has not seen it yet and is also on tumblr.
#babylon5#babylon 5#there is a hole in your mind#can't wait for them to see all those amazing storylines!#can't wait for myself to finally see it again!#it has been too long#how I loved this show!#how I still love this show!#5 episodes in and it held up so well!#Garibaldi talking about his second favourite thing he wants to share only for it to be cartoons#you will know fear. you will know pain. and then you will die. have a pleasant flight!

Seriously though, it’s weird that Delenn’s journey from single-handedly forcing her people into a punitive and bloody war against the humans, to becoming the One Who Is and fulfilling all these prophecies and saving the galaxy… is never presented as a redemption arc. From her own perspective, sure, she never did anything that she couldn’t justify, and the worst thing she did from her perspective was killing humans without knowing that they “share Minbari souls.”
But it says something about this show that it kind of lets you reach your own conclusions about whether she’s right?
Like, a weak writer would have made her the villain, and a typical writer would have made redemption the thematic through-line of her character. But on Babylon 5, JMS doesn’t pretend to be able to say what the balance of her life has been and what conclusion we ought to reach about her.
It’s interesting because there’s a hero narrative, where unambiguously one set of themes is saying “these are the big goddamned heroes,” but alongside that there’s a lot of smaller narratives that humanize everyone and show that they’re all pretty profoundly ambivalent and have all done horrible things in the past… even Sheridan, the golden retriever husband, fights extremely dirty a lot of the time and his political positions after becoming president kinda suck.
And I think that’s the meta-narrative. Babylon 5 has this heroic myth arc where everything is according to a prophecy and people can have mystical visions or telepathic abilities… and yet that’s just a narrative that the heroes kind of tell themselves to make sense of a profoundly weird universe. The prophecies are made by a time traveler working his way into a people’s religion and telling them half-truths, the visions and telepathy are down to the manipulations of more powerful species or the alteration of memories, and everyone kinda vaguely sucks.
But the stories we tell ourselves define our actions at least as much as “who we really are” on some deeper level. Delenn has been cast in one story where she’s revenging the death of her mentor, damn the cost in lives. Then later she becomes cast in a different story, one in which she’s one of the triune heroes of prophecy and must become one literally and figuratively with the people she almost wiped out of existence.
Do these stories exist on some metaphysical level? No! They’re just the narratives that people construct to explain the world and justify their actions. But so is everything else! Your life as you remember it is a story that you use to make sense of a series of events.
It’s been said that the theme of Babylon 5 is that “faith manages.” I don’t necessarily think that’s literally the case but in one sense it’s a valid way of stating a very major theme. If you believe that your actions are part of a story, you have to make it a good one, or at least the best that you know how. Because the raw actual truth of the universe is incomprehensible and the narrative is sometimes all you have. And yeah, sometimes you can manage, that way.
The prophet in “Cat’s Cradle” by Vonnegut called it “foma,” the lies that make you happy and healthy.
