A quick question about souls

[Raw Shark]

I keep seeing that someone or so-and-so has started a rewatch, and I have a question: Are there any mentions of 'souls' in any episodes? I can only remember such references in 'Soul Hunter' and 'Points of Departure.' Not asking about 'River of Souls,' just the series.

Thanks!

Perhaps the largest mention would be the Minbari discovering that Sinclair and a Minbari soul as revealed by the Triluminary. Also, Delenn & Lennier tell Brother Edward in 'Passing through Gethsemane' how they believe the soul is a 'nonlocalized phenomenon' or piece of the universe seeking meaning.

Thanks, Jan!

Passing Through Gethsemane is such a great episode, and Brad Dourif was terrific as usual. The story was unexpectedly good, kind of off-the-beaten-path for B5. And the look on the mindwiped killer's face at the end was just chilling. I mean, with a telepath war on the way and so forth. I imagine that would be an event in which Psi Corps used everything to take and hold power on Earth, and I think that would have to include Mindwipes. So many tasks they could help with, and I bet they're totally loyal to the Corps.

Souls, hmmm...

On the subject of souls in B5, I remember reading something by JMS decades ago, where he was giving a preview of Sleeping in Light, and he mentioned something was in the episode about souls becoming stars. I think he was trying to say every soul becomes a star, or every star represents a soul, or something like that. I remember it because there was nothing of the sort mentioned in Sleeping in Light so I was puzzled by it. I thought it had been in one of his columns in the official Babylon 5 magazine but I've just dug them out of storage and searched through every one and can't find it. Have I dreamt this up, am I losing my mind, or did I really read it? Does it sound familiar to anyone?

Are you sure he wasn't talking about the "we are star stuff" conversation that Delenn had with Sheridan? That's the nearest thing I can think of.

Sorry, Springer. I do recall the 'star stuff' conversation, but as for the rest, I think perhaps you dreamed it, not unlike Skittlebrau in the Simpsons.
