Delenn: They will join with the souls of all our people. Melt one into another until they are born into the next generation of Minbari. Remove those souls and the whole suffers. We are diminished, each generation becomes less than the one before.

Soul Hunter: A quaint lie, pretty fantasy. The soul ends with death, unless we act to preserve it.

-- Babylon 5, "Soul Hunter"

Somewhat weakened by the fact that the show leaves it open whether or not Delenn was right.

In show, she more-or-less was.

Hmm? She didn't have any real evidence other than a perceived degradation of Minbari society.

I was thinking of whatever test they did to determine that Sinclair has a Minbari soul.

I GUESS WE'RE MARKING SPOILERS FOR FIFTEEN YEAR OLD TELEVISION SHOWS

All the test showed is that Sinclair had Valen's DNA. Except Valen is Sinclair after some Minbari DNA splicing; the reverse of what Delenn did.

Stable time loops for the win.

-edit never mind answering my question would have probably involved spoilers.

A specific Minbari soul, picking him out with stunning accuracy.
