Prophecies and Visions in Babylon 5 Part 3
Continuing from last time, the third season of Babylon 5 is mostly a realisation of some of the visions seen in the previous two seasons. It also has been a year of revelation and the return of some old beings from the past. The doom of John Sheridan, hinted at in the last season, will be realised, with a few new twists at the end. Now we will look at some of a few visions seen in season 3, and some more explanations on past visions and prophecies.
First there is Lady Morella's prophecy as seen in "Point of no Return." Londo asks Lady Morella to prophesy his future, but Lady Morella's prophecy is not all that pleasant for Londo. She explains, "You have a chance few others will have Mollari, you still have three opportunities to avoid the fire that waits for you at the end of your journey. You have already wasted two others:
1. You must save the eye that does not see.
2. You must not kill the one who is already dead.
3. And at the last, you must surrender yourself to your greatest fear knowing that it will destroy you."
Lady Morella then adds to Vir and Londo, who looks puzzled, "You will both be emperor. One of you will become emperor after the other is dead." Obviously, these cryptic warnings will be revealed or experienced during the early part of season 4, but one specific event in season 3 which refers to the latter of the 3 statements happens during "War without End Parts 1 and 2." Londo saves Sheridan - who has already died once on Z'Ha'Dum, and then he surrenders himself to be strangled by G'Kar, then one of his greatest fears. Now the first statement refers to something that will happen in season 4, so will not be discussed now. This leads us on to a very interesting prediction about Londo and Vir both becoming emperor, one after the other. Lady Morella did not mention who will be emperor first, but there is a very strong implication that Vir will become emperor after Londo (as his destiny is already a gloomy one at best). This is seen again in "War without End Part 2" where after Londo dies Vir picks up the emperor's amulet, so the assumption is for Vir to become emperor based on Lady Morella's prophecy.
Next is an interesting prophecy from Valen about the purpose of the grey council and its disbandment seen in "Severed Dreams," in which Delenn says to the council "The council
