If you can do that, as I can for His existence, then your belief is based on reason. If you can't, then it is pure faith, and actually irrational.

He was going to have dinner with friends, as a friend, not the emperor. And them being reminded that under that polite, gentle manner, was the firmest mettle they faced. And thus, the Emperor of the Centauri sat as a peer, not as a royal.

He did it because he truly loved his world, his people, but G'Kar's forgiveness gave Londo the hope that he could actually endure and be redeemed. Then, as at the end, his oldest enemy was his truest friend and his deliverer. RIP Richard, Stephen, Andreas, Michael, Jerry, Mira, Jeff - thank you for giving us this gift.

@@sharkdentures3247 When your friend didn't actually die in your lifetime, though, I'm not sure it counts. Sinclair was alive when the rest saw him last - perhaps that's how they prefer to remember him. If you saw your best friend boarding a plane, and then afterward I told you that they wouldn't ever be coming back, but that they had traveled back in time and become Jesus...how do you even process that?

Sad that Sheridan's words here fit the loss of so many B5 characters and actors. We focus on the main characters missing, but there are side characters that are also no longer with us sadly.

@@jonathansoko1085 That “The Expanse” is a worthy successor to B5 is JMS’ opinion, which I just happen to share. What’s embarrassing is your apparent belief that there’s some kind of objective standard when it comes to matters of personal taste, not to mention that you somehow got past middle school without mastering the rudiments of the apostrophe or basic English grammar. Not every disagreement over the quality of TV shows has to turn into a major online dispute, fella.

This scene strikes me to the very core to this day. And with the passing of all but two as I type, I am reminded of an old phrase from Shakespeare, of how "time" waits for no man...: "Ruin hath taught me thus to ruminate, That Time will come and take my love away. This thought is as a death, which cannot choose But weep to have that which it fears to lose."

A bit of irony (to me). In the naming in the toast, Richard Biggs first says "Marcus." He played a character named Marcus on Days of Our Lives for many years. I had the opportunity once to ask him when he got a script, after playing Marcus for so many years, did he ever go to Marcus' lines first. The answer - yes he did. He pointed out that in B5, he was a character named Stephen whose best friend was Marcus - and on Days of Our Lives, he was a character named Marcus whose best friend was Stephen. I miss them all, of course - but Richard Biggs and Stephen Furst are the ones who are most in my heart.

His goofiness gave way to the dignity and honor of his status as Emperor. This show displayed some remarkable character transformations throughout its run.
