B5 wasn't destroyed because it wasn't the one that would be
taken back. Yes, the prior stations would've looked more like B4 but
they were sabotaged *very* early in the construction process. You'll
learn why he didn't want Garibaldi along next ep.

No, B4 survived the prior shadow war, but in very bad shape;
didn't last much longer after that.

No, because if you remember, even Delenn didn't know where B4
came from until she came to B5, well after completion.

No, the B1-B3 sabotages had nothing at all to do with the B4
situation; it was just done by forces opposed to the very notion of the
Babylon Project.

A lot of folks have suggested it...only time will tell if it
ever gets done.

Actually, Delenn probably has more outfits than just about
anyone else; there's the blue outfit, the rose colored outfit, the
green active-wear look, her grey cloak and white religious caste robes,
one more change of color...so I think your observation here is flawed.

Once I finish the show, then I'll have time to consider this.
For now, it's just too daunting an idea.

Yes, a number of folks took speculations and began posting them
about as True Things set to happen. Always an error....
