Story: War Without End, Part I
Written By: J. Michael Straczynski
Season: 3
Sinclair returns to Babylon 5 after receiving a 900 year old message. He and many of the crew head to the White Star in order to enter the temporal rift of Sector 14, where Babylon 4 had been lost. The crew themselves have recently recieved a distress call from a possible future version of Ivanova.
It is explained that the Minbari almost lost the last Shadow War, but were able to win in when the White Star showed up and gave them Babylon 4, which served a base and helped them win the war. It’s fairly confusing time paradox stuff.
In the midst of their journey t save Babylon 4 from the Shadows (6 years prior to the main events of the present), Sheridan gets taken out of time, and ends up in the distant future of Centauri Prime, with Emperor Londo and a destroyed Centauri Prime...the supposed results of Sheridan’s actions and the end of the Shadow War.
Crazy time travel stuff, and it’s sure to either get more complex or all neatly wrapped up by the end of the next episode, as this is a two parter meant to wrap up Sinclair’s arc that was left dangling when O’Hare left the show.
NEXT TIME: Future Centauri Prime
