Hello, friends! Welcome back to another predictions post, and I’m absolutely mortified at the idea of having to predict this show. There’s no way I can get this right, but I’m going to try. And probably fail.<\/p>\n

First things first: here were my predictions for season two!<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. We will discover Delenn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s new form in the first episode.\u00c2\u00a0Nope, not until the end of the second episode.\u00c2\u00a0<\/strong><\/li>\n
  2. I am also guessing this is why I cannot watch the opening credits for the first two episodes.\u00c2\u00a0Well, only partially right.<\/strong><\/li>\n
  3. I am guessing that Delenn is a new form of her species.\u00c2\u00a0Only partially right here, too. Like, in the spirit of the prediction, I’m kinda right?<\/strong><\/li>\n
  4. Garibaldi will recover by the end of the second episode.\u00c2\u00a0Technically, he took longer than that, right?\u00c2\u00a0<\/strong><\/li>\n
  5. Talia and Ivanova will clash over the Psi Corps again this season.\u00c2\u00a0JUST… STOP IT. GOOD FUCKING GOD. This, in hindsight, is LUDICROUS. What have I DONE.<\/strong><\/li>\n
  6. We\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll see Bester again.\u00c2\u00a0True!<\/strong><\/li>\n
  7. We will also see Morden multiple times.\u00c2\u00a0True as well! UNFORTUNATELY.<\/strong><\/li>\n
  8. Mollari will continue working with the Shadows.\u00c2\u00a0N O P E. I mean, I was right, but NO.<\/strong><\/li>\n
  9. Bonus points if he knows who he has allied with and keeps doing it anyway.\u00c2\u00a0Can the bonus points actually just be negative points because we all lose anyway.<\/strong><\/li>\n
  10. Sinclair will discover the truth about the Battle of the Line, but not until the end of the second episode, when Delenn tells him.\u00c2\u00a0LORD. Not even close. NOT EVEN CLOSE.\u00c2\u00a0<\/strong><\/li>\n
  11. There will be another episode about Garibaldi\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s alcoholism.\u00c2\u00a0Nope! Referenced a couple times, but not a full episode.\u00c2\u00a0<\/strong><\/li>\n
  12. We will find out where G\u00e2\u20ac\u2122Kar went to in the first episode.\u00c2\u00a0Nope. Second episode.\u00c2\u00a0<\/strong><\/li>\n
  13. The new president is gonna be THE WORST.\u00c2\u00a0Oh, he sucked, but there were so many that actually qualified as this.\u00c2\u00a0<\/strong><\/li>\n
  14. Home Guard will also be THE WORST and will escalate their attacks and their presence in the galaxy.\u00c2\u00a0Remember when this was a major concern for me? lol i was so innocent then.\u00c2\u00a0<\/strong><\/li>\n
  15. A war of some sort will break out at the end of season two.\u00c2\u00a0Earlier than that!<\/strong><\/li>\n
  16. I think it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll be the Shadows\/the Centauri versus\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 everyone else?\u00c2\u00a0Wow, this is almost close, but also NOPE. Not close enough.\u00c2\u00a0<\/strong><\/li>\n
  17. Ambassador Kosh will show someone else their true form.\u00c2\u00a0This is accidentally perfect, I’m not counting it.\u00c2\u00a0<\/strong><\/li>\n
  18. IVANOVA WILL CONTINUE TO BE MY FAVORITE FOR ALL TIME.\u00c2\u00a0An easy one, I shall continue to predict this because she is my bisexual hero.\u00c2\u00a0<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    All right, given my poor performance, let’s see if I can not be abysmal this time around.<\/p>\n

    Season 3 Predictions<\/strong><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Season 3 will largely focus on two things: first, the coming of the Shadows and the revelation of their agenda.<\/li>\n
    2. And two: the growth of the Night Watch \/ Ministry of Peace and how they affect\u00c2\u00a0Babylon 5<\/em>.<\/li>\n
    3. At some point, Sheridan will openly defy Earth in his running of the station.<\/li>\n
    4. And\u00c2\u00a0Babylon 5<\/em> will probably go rogue at some point, too.<\/li>\n
    5. Ivanova will not pursue a romantic relationship this season because she’s been burned twice now. (GIVE MY SWEET SUSAN SOME HAPPINESS SOON, PLEASE.)<\/li>\n
    6. Dr. Franklin’s use of stims will come up this season.<\/li>\n
    7. Garibaldi will directly challenge the Night Watch and try to ban them from the station.<\/li>\n
    8. He’ll lose.<\/li>\n
    9. In at least one episode, Londo will try to distance himself from the Shadows and his actions.<\/li>\n
    10. He’ll fail at that, too.<\/li>\n
    11. I think we’ll see Z’ha’dum at some point.<\/li>\n
    12. The big reveal at the end of the season will be the war with the Shadows.<\/li>\n
    13. Delenn will meet with the Gray Council at least once.<\/li>\n
    14. Delenn and Sheridan will start a relationship.<\/li>\n
    15. Vir will turn on Londo by the end of the season.<\/li>\n
    16. (Bonus points if it is with help from Lennier.)<\/li>\n
    17. We will see Sinclair at least once.<\/li>\n
    18. I’m not ready.<\/li>\n
    19. Ivanova will continue to be my favorite.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      I’m cheating with that last one I DON’T CARE.<\/p>\n
