Welcome back Babylon 5. We’re looking forward to new episodes.
For those who are not familiar with this show, time to binge-watch and catch up.
These science fiction shows give us insight into how we can solve problems that ail our modern world. These shows modeled how many alien species learned how to get along. We can use this inspiration and learn how to get along with one another as one common human species. The future is bright. We can and must reach for the stars, step outside of the box and understand what it means to be a conscious, civilized civilization.
Mira Furlan passed away on January 20, 2021. She was a personal friend – we met because of her starring role as Ambassador Delenn in the TV series “Babylon 5”. Mira was born on Sept. 7, 1955, in Zagreb, Croatia, where she was a leading actress in theater, film and TV, and was part of the Croatian National Theater. Some had described her as “the Balkan equivalent of Meryl Streep.”
She emigrated to the United States in 1991 with her husband, Goran Gajic, a writer and director. She is survived by Goran, and their son, Marko Lav Gajic. In addition to “Babylon 5″, she was also known for the recurring role of Danielle Rousseau in the popular ABC drama “Lost”. I already miss her incredibly.
John Hudgens was hired by Joe Straczynski to create official “Babylon 5” music videos for him to use at science fiction conventions, and later to promote the show to networks. They produced eight videos over the run of the series, with a series of memorials for fallen cast members over the years since.
