Sorta, the last filmed episode was [url=http://www.sadgeezer.com/html/modules.php?op=modload&name=Reviews&file=index&req=showcontent&id=339]Objects at Rest[/url]. But the intended last episode and epilogue/finale was [url=http://www.sadgeezer.com/html/modules.php?op=modload&name=Reviews&file=index&req=showcontent&id=340]Sleeping in Light[/url].[color=darkred][/color][color=red][/color][color=orange][/color]
I don’t know if you read the two reviews at the links Headgehog provided (such links at his board are light green), but in the “last filmed episode”, Objects at Rest, Sheridan and Delenn have moved to Minbar, but in the “intended last episode,” Sleeping in Light, they do not end up together.
To quote Sadgeezer from his Objects at rest review,
[quote=”Sadgeezer”]think that this was the final episode of Babylon 5. The next episode, Sleeping in Light simply tidied up some loose ends.[/quote]
So which is the real last episode (the one that was shown last)? Without reading them more carefully I’m not quite sure — I’m a bit unsure myself. So to answer your question from my understanding, yes and no (or possibly yes or no, or maybe yes and no etc. 😉 ).
After some consideration,(i started this thread 1min 30 sec after watching the episode) i concluded , tha tprobably IS the end of the babylon5, no REAL primary charachters will be there, the series will go on but not bab5 =_________(
NOW IM MAD, now, no one thast IMPORTANT live son bab5)=((( And sheridan has become all to powerfull, there should be a fight on bab5 tha twould make it fall on to the planet next to it, and then start there again=)

If you think of it that way, then yes it is the end of Babylon 5 as a series. It won’t ever return to its former form. Kinda sad when you think about it for the first time.
If you haven’t seen Sleeping in Light yet, you’re in for a real treat. I wished I never saw it, just so I could watch it again for the first time.
According to JMS on the Season 4 DVDs
Sleeping in Light was filmed to be the last ep of the FOURTH season. When they got renewed in the 11th hour, he removed the episode and began filming season 5 by filming a *new* end to season 4.
This is the reason Ivanova appears nowhere in the beginning of the final ep of season 4 when the crew returns with Sheridan from Earth.
The DVDs are worth it just for the spoilers he gives during them. He even hints that 1,000,000 years from now during the final ep of the 4th season, is an entire series of its own.
The sun goes Nova because of an enemy that is trying to destroy the alliance or something like that.
how much does all seasons published cost? by the way Sleeping in Light was the one that we find out that we(humans9 are going to reach a evolution level like the vorlons? and we pass by the great fire etc etc?
DuLt,
The last episode in the series proper (i.e. in sequential time) is, indeed, [i]Objects at Rest[/i].
The episode [i]Sleeping in Light [/i] takes place 20 years “after the action” (and I agree with HH that I wish it were possible to see it again for the first time, as it were). I have a thread on that topic somewhere down the line, but don’t read it until you have seen the ep. JMS noted on the usenet recently that he broke down a bit during the taping of his commentary for that episode on the season 5 DVD – you will have that to look forward to, as WB convinced him to leave that moment untouched (those who have seen the ep will know EXACTLY the moment Joe’s voice broke).
The episode [i]The Deconstruction of Falling Stars[/i] was filmed at the start of the fifth season in time to air as the final ep of the fourth season. It takes place anywhere from one to one million years in the future. That’s the ep where you see the “fully evolved” humans.
Something I did not know until recently that the “New earth” they are moving to in that ep is, apparently, the Vorlon home world. Hence Lyta’s comment that the VHW was closed “for a million years.” I wonder how the Vorlons knew?
I guess I should have seen it (Joe loving “prophecy” so much) but I didn’t. I though Lyta’s was a throw-away line, but maybe there is no such beastie in JMS’s writing!
