Londo was a very complex character. You really never knew where he stood on anything but you could always count on that whatever it was it would benefit him and by extension the Centari people, as justification. The dynamic between him and G'Kar is a master class of two forces headed towards destruction, and knowing that still fulfilled their role for the greater good long after they are gone.

He had the prophetic dreams of where he was headed. Attached to the parasite who would control his every move, destroying his nation and needing G'kar to kill him yet he could not find a way off that path. You were supposed to get something about patriotism from Londo, and G'kar as well. As a matter of fact the entirety of B5 was on the excesses of patriotism not on extolling it.

Especially since this was so early in the series that Londo would have still been a complete joke amongst his own people. Te scene plays as though it's doing Garibaldi a service, reminding him he has friends (Molari), but at this moment Molari msu still be amongst the lowest in his entire career, completely cut off from imperial court and still being a complete joke of a position. It's doubly heeartbreaking since at the time of this scene, Molari had fewer friends than Garibaldi and much more reason to despair, but his pride would never allow himself to weep. "Whatever it is, it can't be that bad" applies more to Molari than any other character at this very moment

When I first saw the series it was in its original run, and I came in mid-season 2, either right before or right after Londo made the deal. It was only years later did I get a chance to see season 1, and the very different places Londo and G'Kar started from. Just amazing.

Makes sense in context: one reason why humanity has never looked alcohol the same way as other drugs is that it is so interconnected to our developement as a species that we cannot look it with the same disdain like say heroin or cocaine(Weed is starting to become normalized, but otherwise not many intoxicants outside of tobacco enjoy same status as Alcohol). Hell, only 200 years ago, US used Whisky as a currency and paid wages and goods with it. There was actually a real crisis over it. kzitem.info/news/bejne/2KaZn3uHfqthlZw But the Centauri have such a normalized relationship with alcohol which goes even further that of humans. They even see as their duty to be at least little tipsy and have such a normalized relationship with alcohol that they consider sobrierity to be a vice.

Of course, Londo was merely stating what his government's policies were in dealing with the Narns, he didn't agree with it of course. A better line for serious Londo would be "Blood calls out for blood....." as it reflected his sincere feelings at the time he said it.

@@girlgarde Good point and a great line! I guess in that scene, I was never 100% sure if Londo vengefully agreed with his Government's policies are not. In fact, it's ironic you suggested that line because when Londo is looking down at a defeated and humiliated G'Kar, I always wondered if he wasn't thinking back to that very episode your line is from, where after getting into a heated argument with G'Kar about the Narn attack on his people's colony including Londo's nephew, G'Kar defiantly tells Londo "Your time has come and gone! It's our turn now!" How the Wheel turns indeed...

John Burke That’s one of the things that makes this series so brilliant. As opposed to the blunt-as-sledgehammer characters these days, the characters in this series are so intriguing, often making choices that have cosmic consequences yet they believe to be right. London wishes to protect his people so he allies himself with the Shadows, Sheridan needs a victory against the shadows, thus Kosh ends up sacrificing himself, Sheridan goes to Zahadum to confront and kill the shadows, ends up shorting his lifespan to only 20-25 years. I love that there is no right choice in this series beyond what the characters believe the right choice to be.

@@ethrsag735 Actually there "WASN'T" no choices at all to be made at all, that is what makes this series unique compare to the other sci-fi series. In all reality "spoiler alert" The entire B5 series, is a flashback! Everything that happen, was going to happen, or rather already happened up to the point where Lando Finally became Emperor. Remember B5 dealt with a good amount of time traveling, in fact it was 2 major turning points in the series. One when B4 got sent to the past, and one where Sheridan went into the future and was warn "If you go to Zahadum you will die." The individuals during the entire series where just living a cycle of events that had, already transpire in one way or another.

Lore Nexus Fair point....and yet, not entirely. There was a choice amongst the others which wasn’t predetermined, which was made after Sinclair left for the past. Delenn and Sheridan’s choice to make no choice. They could have easily chosen one side over the other, and yet they had come to the understanding that if they did it would be a case of the blind leading the blind as the V&S had forgotten why they fight, thus they choose neither and to carve their own path into the future.

Lore Nexus Because all was said to Sheridan is that by going to Zahadum is that he would die, and yet he lived. When you take into consideration that the future he visited is based around him disappearing mid-way in his war with the shadows, not all of B5 was a flashback then. Especially since Londo speaks of how all that had occurred in their timeline was due to Sheridan’s disappearance and the Shadows winning, causing a greater destruction than was shown in the timeline where B5 isn’t destroyed.
