Mira Furlan died today. I knew her as Delenn on Babylon 5. She was only 65. They said in the article I read that she died from complications from West Nile Virus. Ironic that she would die of something other than Covid-19 during a pandemic. Her character on B5 was an inspiration to me. I don't think my brain will properly process this for a while yet. It's almost as if I've lost an old friend, even though I'd never met the actress in person. Along with Star Trek, Babylon 5 gave me hope that humans would ride above their greed and pettiness and make it out into the stars.
