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.

Anyhow, I don't think they're necessarily saying it's underappreciated. Of course it's well regarded by those who have seen it. It's just that a lot more people should have seen it by now.

I only just noticed even after viewing this scene countless times. Exactly at the "She kissed me right here" moment @ 1:18 or so you can hear an oddly fitting background chuckle from off screen. No doubt meant to be part of the background but I only heard it as I had to chuckle to myself as well at Londo's action.

Why couldn't Londo have stayed this merry boisterous fellow instead of all those terrible things which ended up happening to him? He was so much fun in the early part of the series. We all have our share of trouble so for there to be a laughing old rogue around to cheer us up means the world.

A lot of bad things happened to him, à lot he also chose to commit. His character arc shows how even a "normal" funny fellow can becole a full fledged villain in the right circumstances (and have his redemption arc also).

Because all actions have consequences, and the road to hell is paved with good intentions. It's a tragic downfall, because his heart, mostly, is in the right place, and it shows how arduous the road back from the edge can be.

@@ghandimauler sure but it's quality storytelling. He is not coerced into becoming a monster, he doesn't have a tragic backstory like dark vador or many other villains. He is a funny character with some character flaws that we gloss over at first and also some qualities that make him endeering. At first he is even in his right, responding to unprovoked narn attack, you can take his side (and g'kar is quite ruthless as far as antagonists go). Yet these same character traits that we like (patriotism, acting to defend his people against the narns, à little bit of cunning ambition...) will lead him toward a path of pure evil (war crimes and then state crimes in occupied territory borderibg on genocide). That is excellent writing. The way the same actor can portray both the funny, carefree londo of the beginning, the warmongering yet haunted by his crimes londo of the middle seasons and the wise, redeemed, dying leader post war of shadows is also remarkable. You can criticize modern television butceven back then, you wouldn't get such performances very often.

I loved the character arcs this show had. The changes in Londo, G’Kar, Vir and Lennier. There were good bad guys and bad good guys. The villains were never just bad to be bad. They had goals and reasons. And then..of course…..Bester…..I mean..come on…you hated him…but he could always make you laugh. The comeback To Garibaldi when he said he wanted to hang him up like a piñata….😂

Frankly? No, I didn't hate Bester - I wouldn't want to be a non-teep in his presence, because apparently we "breed like rabbits" and because we aren't teeps are worthless, but otherwise I found him compelling! Sure he did stuff I wouldn't, but then again he had reasons, that made him a compelling character...just being evil because evil is simply boring :(

Londo was an old school "good old boy", well meaning but totally self-serving. Only later, when it was too late for himself, did he understand the price that comes from participating in the power elite and their manipulations. Our own society is now starting to crumble from the dark forces of our own evil elite - will any of OUR "good old boys" be willing to make the sacrifices Londo did in order to save US?

Londo is a great example of that, and also had the best line describing his evolution as a character while speaking with G'Kar. "When we first met, i had no power and all the choices he could ever want. Now i have all the power i could ever want, and no choices at all." Happy early on, but then the course of events dragged many down and pulled others up. It is life.
