Both minor and MAJOR spoilers for some Babylon 5 plot points exist in this post. Might not want to read if you havn't seen all of B5 just yet. Just so you guys know.
Having watched through all 5 seasons of Babylon 5 for the 23rd time (or so), I still find new things every time I re-watch an episode which I havn't thought of before. But it also made me think.. What if? What if, and how would Babylon 5 be if things didn't turn out the way they did? Say for instance what if Takashima ("The Gathering") would have stayed on the show after the pilot movie? She would have been "control" (?), not Talia and how would we then know Ivanova? Would she have been more of a Corwin-character so to speak?
Speaking of which, what if Talia decided to stay on the show? Correct me if I am wrong but it was the actress behind Talia who wanted of B5, correct? If so, who would have been "control"? And would we see Talia instead of Lyta in S5? Would Ironharts gifts lead to her version of Lyta's special inhanced powers?
What if Claudia Christian (Ivanova) decided to stay for the 5th season? Would we see Tracy Scoggins at all? Would we see more Ivanova-action so to speak?
What if Marcus wouldn't have died saving Ivanova and would thus have been able to stay on the show?
What if Kosh wouldn't have died in S3? What would then happen with him / Sheridan / the rest of B5 when the Shadows and Vorlons openly attacked eachother?
As you guys can probably see, I have way to few things to do with my mind, but still, I hope this leads to some interesting discussions
