I think today's post, had things gone to plan, would have been a post about how brilliant the first episode of Russell T Davies new TV show, It's A Sin, was. I've not seen it yet. Other events have overtaken it.
Today i'd like to pay tribute to Mira Furlan, best known for playing Ambassador Delenn in Babylon 5, who died two days ago.
Throughout her time on Babylon 5 she gave a powerful performance (as did the actors portraying all three of the main ambassadors), and was always engaging. Her character could be quite mysterious at times, and this added to the intrigue. Delenn was a character who knew many secrets, and slowly you learnt them.
She also gave a terrific performance in Lost as Rousseau; despite only appearing in a handful of episodes, probably no more than about ten of them, she had such an impact.
Take a read of Joe Straczynski's tribute to her, which can be read here; though be warned, it'll bring a tear to your eyes.
RIP Mira.
