And sadly, so many of the main cast are no longer with us—far more than one would expect from their ages.

I know that some of them, indeed, died due to substance abuse issues; I don't know the circumstances of all of them. They will all be greatly missed.

Being a B5 fan, I found it heart-breaking to see Jeff Conaway on the reality show Celebrity Rehab a decade later. (the fact that there even existed a TV show called "Celebrity Rehab" ...)

Too many others of the main cast had died relatively young, of "natural causes" though. Richard Biggs, Mira Furlan and Stephen Furst stand out.

Indeed—and Mira Furlan died just a few years ago, at 65.
In the lingo of the show, they have "gone beyond the rim" (of our galaxy).
And we will see them again in the place where no shadows fall.
