JMS: a filming question

[Joseph Poutre]

Spoiler for Babylon Squared


Oh Great Maker,

I'm curious about a "future" scene in Babylon Squared - the one with
the (seemingly) aged Sinclair taking off the helmet and then (apparently)
Delenn's hand reaching in from offstage. When that scene was shot,
was Ms. Furlan in full makeup, in whatever state she will be in at that
stage, or did she was she simply wearing a red blouse and standing
out-of-shot?

It's not essential I get an answer - just curious about how scenes like
that are filmed.

As I recall, Mira was not in prosthetics at the time, and was out of
camera range even for when the shot gets shown in expanded letterbox form.

So does this mean she wasn't in the scene?

Actually, I'm curious to why Sinclair looked so old? I mean, how far into
the future does the older Sinclair come from? 10 years, 20 years? Or did
something weird happen with that time thing-a-magic.
