That's so young. Also it's crazy how many Babylon 5 people have passed.

It'd be a lot easier to make a list of those who are still alive at this point.

1993 is when it premiered. Or as I like to say now. Before the turn of the Century.

The first season is really slow, but the 2nd through 4th seasons are amazing. The 5th season should have never been made IMO.

Wow - that's quite a list of good actors and great roles that we've lost! The One Armed Man, Flounder, Bobby Wheeler, Nurse Chapel/Computer/Lwaxana Troi, Takagi, Sarris...

I agree with this and will add, Babylon 5 in my opinion still remains one of the best SciFi shows ever made. RIP Mira.
