Ok, here's something that came up in conversation on Mongoose Publishing's forum.
When Sheridan's suit broke when they took Babylon 4 into the past, he jumped forward into the future. He saw Centauri Prime on fire, devastated. In this future, Delenn told him not to go to Z'ha'dum...
He thought that the devastation on Centauri Prime was caused because he listened to Delenn's advice, and therefore went to Z'ha'dum with Anna a few months later. And a couple of years later, the Drazi and Narns attacked the Centauri world...
So my question is this... was Sheridan right?
Centuari Prime was still attacked, but it was much sooner. The future that Sheridan saw was 20 years into the future, but the attack that happened was only 2 years later. It's unlikely that the world would still be burning 18 years after the attack...
It's possible that the burning and attack we saw would be the end of the Drakh war... which is a legacy of the Shadow war.
So... is the future Sheridan saw the one which did happen? What do you think would have happened if he hadn't gone to Z'ha'dum?
