Mira Furlan - RIP

[Vern1961]

Found out this morning that she passed away a couple of days ago - Wikipedia doesn't mention cause, only 65 years old.

Best remembered for her role as Delenn in Babylon 5 throughout the show's five year run, in fact fair to say she was Delenn.

RIP.

Thats quite a few of the Babylon 5 cast gone now isnt it? I seem to recall that the doctor, Franklin, died very young and I think G'kar, Vir, Zack, Garibaldi, Sinclair. Sometimes I forget that the tv show is from a quarter of a century ago.

Yes it does seem a bit jinxed and, indeed, scary to think how long ago the first season aired - 1994. However it's timeless sci-fi and unlike some other shows, still as compelling to watch now as it was then.

According to the BBC News she had been suffering from West Nile Virus.

Anyhow, going to put the Season 3 Episode "Severed Dreams" on shortly and raise a glass to toast...
