The Mimbari and especially the Vorlons could have done it as well and for what he knows of them it's not exactly right to immediately exonerate them. It's highly unlikely they're responsible but who knows? He gets to that conclussion immediately because of script.

It says something about Londo that his immediate reaction to 10,000 dead Narn is absolute horror. He wants his people to reclaim greatness, and he wants revenge for the wrongs done to his people, but even he has his limits...

It was the difference between Londo and Refa, I think. Londo still clung to his honor and was still accessible to friendship, even compassion. Garibaldi described his decline very well later, that Londo could see the dark path he was one, but was too afraid of the consequences should he try to change it.

@nelsonchereta816 2 жыл бұрын

When Morden asks G'kar what he wants he flat out says he wants to exterminate the Centauri and turn their homeworld to ash. Beyond that he just wants his people safe. Londo, on the other hand, wants a return to glory. He dreams of the Republic the way it used to be and 'wants it all back.' I don't believe he ever REALLY thought about what the cost would be. He focused on the end result, not on the means of achieving it. He NEVER wants to exterminate the Narn or even reconquer their world, he just wants them out of the way.

Such a wonderful show. I was a kid when this came out so I focused on the action scenes and battles. I picked up some of the dialogue of war and peace, etc... But only when you get older and have lived and seen what people are really like. The impact of war on people. The hate in people and their desires for revenge and to even the score. Only then one can see how brilliant this show is. How smart the writers are and wise. They understood human beings self destructive natures but also their capacity to love and desire for peace. Those few wise ones who wish for peace. Embodied in Sinclair, the warrior to peace maker. Even he has his own personal battles with hate for the Munbari. I think the reason these Sci Fi shows like B5, Star Trek, etc have so much popularity and a devoted fan base even as these shows age (B5 25 years almost since it ended) because it delves into important issues that plague Mankind and would Aliens too. These shows force you to think and grow through introspection. To understand how desires for power and revenge eventually tear you down as well. That compassion and understanding and coexistence is the only course in life that will create peace and not war. To avoid the pain and horror of war. I hope people learn the lessons taught here and these shows to try and be better people so we can live in peace and not try to kill or dominate each other constantly.

Quadrant 37 is not a contradiction. 37 can be a result of continuous numeration of quadrants from multiple round/spherical areas of space. For example, star A has space around it divided into 4 quadrants numbered 1,2,3 and 4, and then star B will have 4 quadrants numbered 5,6,7 and 8 and so on until star J with 4 quadrants numbered 37,38,39 and 40. That way you can simply refer to quadrant's number, without the need to specify the point of reference.
