Babylon 5 & Lord of the Rings

Continuing our Babylon 5 rewatch and we’re getting closer to my absolute favourite episode of the whole series. Also watching the season 2 opening sequence I’m thinking of analogies between Tolkien’s Middle Earth / Lord of the Rings and Babylon 5. That’s probably pushing things a bit far, but some similarities are more obvious. Eg Minbari and Elves, Shadows and Sauron, Delenn and Arwen, Sheridan and Aragorn, Technomages and wizards. But again maybe pushing it a bit far! And yes this was all inspired by a LOTR quote in the Babylon 5 episode we’re watching tonight.
