=Time Travel, Foreshadowing, and Experimental Narrative Structure =

**  Support One:  **  The entire Centauri race has the unique ability of seeing how they will die in a dream. All Centauri have these dreams, and they always come true. If the original events leading to death change, the future rearranges itself, bringing about the same death in a different way.  Londo dreamt that he and G'Kar would die with their hands wrapped around each other's throats.



 Originally, these two characters were mortal enemies, and they died trying to end the other's life, but as the story continued they became close friends, and the future changed. They died when Londo was under the control of a Drakh alien, and he asked G'Kar to kill him to allow John Sheridan and Ambassador Delenn time to escape his palace. G'Kar did as he asked, and the Drakh took over Londo's body, killing G'Kar—they died with their hands wrapped around each other's throats.



 ** Support Two:  **  Londo dreams of the Shadows' invasion of his homeworld. In spite of the foreknowledge that Centauri Prime would one day be ravaged by the Shadows' invasion, Londo is incapable of changing these events. In face, he is the their way in—a pawn who finds himself wrapped up in something terrible that he should have been able to prevent.



 ** Support Three:  **  In a very twisty-turny, multiple season story arc, the original captain of Babylon 5 Jeffrey Sinclair sees his own “death” when he and several other crew members leap into the future. He returns years later to see the same events play out again—from the other side. He is flung far into the past, undergoing the same transformation as Ambassador Delenn in reverse—he becomes a Minbari. He lives out the rest of his life in the past as the historical figure “Valen,” whose prophesies and code of honor have shaped much of the story we've seen in the first two seasons.
