Mmm, very true. That is one failing of the series - it's hard to doubt at most of the big turning points that Our Heroes will come through safely. There are a few moments where we aren't sure, I guess - even spoiled for it, I found what happend to Ivanova at the end of S4 frankly horrifying and traumatic, and then there's Londo's whole plot. But on the whole, there's not a whole lot of mystery about whether our people will make it, and that's unfortunate.
On the other hand, like you said, part of that whole thing is what the Vorlons in general were really looking for, as opposed to what we thought they were looking for, so... yeah. I haven't had tea yet, I'm not in best-functioning. Forgive if I'm making no sense. Suffice to say, "I agree."
Of course, this is the man who made tentacle!pron canon in his universe, and actually showed us telepathic mindsex in S5, but made it something we really didn't want to see at all, so.
Come to that, does he actually manage sex anywhere in the whole show that doesn't turn out to be horrifying? I don't think he does. I needed the brain-bleach big time after the whole telepathic sex thing. Eugh. All of that in mind, I think I'm very glad none of my favorite pairings actually managed to get together.
