@@friendcomputer2293 Never mind that, they likely survived serving Cartagia. At least under Mollari they don't need to fear being executed because they allowed their shadow to fall on him or something.
@@mithiwithi They would see this as a welcome and glorious change--to serve an Emperor who is an actual leader, instead of a fucking lunatic. it's too bad what happened to him. But in the end, he still died trying to serve and protect his people. He went out like a unit.
"You're insane." "On any other day, Mr. Morden, you'd be wrong. Today? Today is a very different day." Showing just the barest edge of the utter rage he'd been feeling since he learned Morden was the one who ordered Adira's death. Absolutely impeccable acting.
All respect to Peter Jurassic who played Londo Mollari. A GREAT actor who TRULY gave life to the character of Londo Mollari. And in my opinion if studios/companies/networks go ahead and 're-do/re-boot' the Babylon 5 series then they would simply be spitting on the graves of ALL the actors/actresses who were part of the Original (and in my opinion the ONLY TRUE) Babylon 5 show who have now sadly passed on. That's because EVERYONE KNOWS that ANY studio/company/network who actually DID do a 're-do/re-make' would UNDISPUTABLY change things, and the reason would be SOLELY because they HONESTLY and TRULY think that they actually KNOW BETTER than the ORIGINAL CREATORS of the series. And in doing so they will UNDISPUTABLY and COMPLETELY ruin/mangle/butcher the ENTIRE series. But with that being said however, I'd like to say AGAIN that ALL due respect is given to the late Peter Jurassic who NOT ONLY brought the character of Londo Mollari to life, but was ALSO a GREAT actor. Just my own personal opinion anyway
@@reedallen4613 you are apparently ignorant of the fact that the actual show creator is directly involved in writing and overseeing the reboot - which is intended to not just be an exact remake. Rather, there were plenty of other storylines going on that werent put on screen, and he plans on telling the main core concepts thru slightly different angles. Obviously there will still need to be the same races and such, but he's staying fairly mum on details. Why dont you tell HIM he's spitting on graves? I'm sure he'd find your ignorant anger quite amusing.
Londo Mollari, possibly he most complex character ever written in TV history. The comic relief to archvillain to antihero to tragic hero... What a guy!
G'Kar was a decently developed character as well. The whole show for me. Started out unimpressive. But as the seasons went on they really created a storyline that was incredible and complex.
Two weeks ago, this was the first bit of Babylon 5 I'd ever seen. I was browsing favourite clips of Deep Space Nine and this scene popped up. I didn't understand who the characters were and assumed Londo to be the series' main villain and Morden to be the cocky handsome hero. Boy, was I wrong. $120 worth of seasons later, and I finally got to see the context leading up to this moment. Money well spent - what a fantastic show!
Let's be honest John 'Nuke 'Em' Sheridan saw thermonuclear weapons as the solution to most problems, Shadows, Vorlons, Menbari Flagships, extra dimensional invaders... I mean as solutions go, it is pretty thorough
@@maddlarkin eh nuclear fusion they both explode the same either way you go Boom He was just nostalgic that's why he liked the nuclear bomb more that's all
Morden was so fortunate the Vorlons were en route, Londo was likely to have those "pain technicians" spend WEEKS on Morden. He'd have begged for the comparatively gentle treatment G'kar received.
This reminds me of myself after seeing the Matrix trilogy. After that, anytime I see a guy with the last name of Anderson, in my mind I hear "Mr. Anderson" in Agent Smith's voice.
For me it's Peter Jurasik's amasing performance delivering the lines..."I had most of our people evacuated from Selini during the night, a few stayed, to maintain the illusion of our presence. They knew what was being asked of them". Utterly believable as a leader who loves his people.
But a bit of drama queen effect. The evac would have drawn attention. As shadows knew what people felt he had to leave some behind so that the illusion of normality would not be broken and the shadow vessels evacuated. The nukes had to be placed on the surface as drilling might draw attention too...so the just placed the nukes close enough and ran... The scene with the remote tho...brilliant. Though in real life radio would take a few second to reach the bombs...right?
@@ahcokris no. Radio moves very, very fast indeed. Light speed, actually. Well, very fractionally slower in a atmosphere, but they can lap the earth seven times in a second. Centauri prime is earth like, so will be a similar size.
@@ahcokris Nukes are best detonated in the air for maximum destructive capability. A supply ship in a port a ship could shoot up a rocket and detonate it in seconds, although that would be a suicide mission. The fallout would circle the globe to varying degrees. The island would be a cratered radioactive wasteland. Nukes are extremely nasty but preferable to planetary destruction. Much more outlandish tactics are in the history books and worked out very well.
I always wondered if he was worried what the Shadows would do to him for losing control of an asset like Centauri Prime, or if he had a feeling Londo was going to have him executed?
@@lexxstrum I think he feared what Londo was going to do to him. Mr. Morden had a lot of valuable information to spill, if only he could be convinced. I'm sure Londo will think of something
lexxstrum // Before he was basically acting like he was walking with his gods by his side. Now he found himself alone and cut off from them. That was enough to make him go nuts.
@@magicmulder Not to mention, that two inferior lifeforms killed two of his gods within seconds. That was the first shock. The second were the nukes that destroyed the Shadow Ships and most of the Island they were stationed on
Loved his underlining of how dangerous the Minbari are - "The Minbari are one of the oldest space-faring races. Even at the HEIGHT of the Centauri Republic, when we were expanding in all directions - we! NEVER! opposed! the Minbari!"
Morden managed to give everybody what they asked for, but Vir was the only one who got it the way he wanted - and also the only who didn't expect to get anything at all.
"They knew what was being asked of them." Imagine how that commendation was presented to their families. Not for running into danger, or standing and fighting, but for just... waiting.
I can almost imagine the few Centauri who remained on the island, knowing when the designated time was coming. One starts singing a well-known patriotic song from one of their operas. Another hears him/her and joins in. Slowly, the remaining populace begins singing to the point that the song can be heard all over the island. The Shadows have no clue what is going on and are confused to what this means. And then as the song reaches its final epic peak, Londo's detonation signal reaches the bombs.
Actor Peter Jurasik allows the viewer to see and hear the suppressed rage in Londo that those Centauri had to sacrifice themselves to save the planet. And when Londo concludes, "Oh, Mr. Morden, I have not even started with you yet." (He bites off the word 'yet'!)
Londo is one of the most tragic characters ever written. He was so human, so full of flaws, dreams, good intentions, hate, false pride as everyone else of us. JMS did the most amazing job by writing the story for him and G'kar. Londo suffered until the bitter end. Despite this victory, he was indeed doomed until his death. Thank you Peter Jurasik for bringing those wonderful scripts to perfection on the screen.
What left an impression on me was the cruel irony of his situation. Even though he became Emperor, he finds himself more powerless than he's ever been. He made a deal with the proverbial Devil, and he paid the price.
Londo is a true chess master. Morden walked right into that one. "What're you gonna do Mollari, huh? Blow up the island?" "Actually...Now that you mention it..." *pulls out detonator* "NOOOOOO!" *click* *planet shaking explosion*
I love that he didn't pussyfoot around or give Mordan a dozen 'last chance' time to change his mind when it was clear his mind is made up, just pull out the detonator and click
@Daniel Appleton "I had most our people leave during the night. A few stayed behind, to maintain the illusion of our presence. They knew what was being asked of them. I hoped that you'd be reasonable..." Mollari really didn't want to resort to that, like he said. But the Vorlons were coming. meaning the Shadows had to go, one way or another. Mollari could no longer afford to play around.
The implied shock wave arrived a bit too quickly, unless their location was closer than seems reasonable, but who knows where the throne room is on Centauri Prime?
I love the contrast in Molari's expression when he blows up the island - he goes from that "I win, A-hole" smirk as he pressed the detonator, straight down to sad fury at the fact Morden forced him to sacrifice Centauri lives to get the Shadows off Cantauri Prime.
Delenn said he's never alone, but he finally feels alone. He probably had some implants that allowed him to communicate with the Shadows, and then felt they were gone from the island. Like his network was getting no connections anywhere on Centauri Prime. Of course, he didn't feel he was winning. Londo noticed he was afraid the Vorlons were coming to Centauri Prime to destroy the planet. He and the Shadows (but not their ships) probably would have left just before that happened.
It was the first modern TV show which enabled everything we enjoy today - and it is still, objectively, the best written and best structured show. Look at Game of Thrones. Complete, abysmal failure after season 4 and no proper conclusion of MOST story arcs AT ALL. B5 closed ALL story arcs in a beyond-satisfying way.
@@franzlyonheart4362 the resolution to the Garibaldi/Bester story arc was resolved off screen in the pages of the Psi Corps trilogy. Like most of the Babylon 5 books the story is canon in the B5 universe. Unfortunately, these books have been out of print for about 20 years, so it might be a challenge to find used copies at a decent price.
I think that this is at least partially because of the fact that Vir is -- far more than many Centauri, it would seem -- a highly ethical being who wants things for other people as much as he does for himself. There really isn't much selfishness in him at all, which is probably a big part of the reason why he's mostly immune to the influence of the Shadows. Even though Morden hasn't really done anything to Vir personally, Vir wants to see him dead because he can see that Morden is the kind of being who's quite willing to destroy other people for his own purposes. I find it interesting that the Shadow question ("what do you want?") is similar to the offer that the Devil is said to make to people in exchange for their souls -- the Devil offers people what they think they want in return for their souls, ut twists it so that what they thought they wanted ends up hurting them. In many ways, Vir functions as Londo's conscience (even though Londo doesn't listen to him as much as he should) -- so it seems only fitting that Vir would have a (relatively) happy ending. You get the sense as the series goes on that Londo would like to be more like Vir, but he can also see that it's already too late for him. Londo is like the hero of a Greek tragedy -- a large part of what dooms him is his pride.
I don't know if I would say Vir was completely happy. Given what havoc the Shadows cause across the galaxy, and especially how much harm that falls on Londo and Centauri Prime, Vir's story is bittersweet at best. But yes, he does get what he wishes for in response to Morden's question. The biggest difference is that, unlike Londo (and rather more like G'Kar), Vir doesn't wager a deal with Morden.
@@Elthenar Delenn was a bit inconsistent. She was a bit too smug to fit her backstory. Sheridan was worse; not quite a Mary Sue, but almost. Otherwise, I completely agree. Take, for example, Bester; he had a much more layered character than might be expected; it must have been SO much more fun to play Bester than to play Chekhov!
When he says "Oh, Mr. Morden, I have not even started with you yet," I imagine his guards whispering "Uh oh, shit got real. It ain't gonna end well for spider boy."
"I'll have to have that painted over, I suppose." "You're insane!" "On any other day, Mr Morden, you would be wrong. Today? Today is a very different day."
Its was the pulse guns, one hit and scarred the door. He could care less for the shadows. Hes seen all their power and is more scared of the Vorlons (rightly so)
Well it helps that the main characters don't get in shoot outs with grunts all the time. Only real big fire fight that comes to mind is Garibaldi's scrum up in Severed Dreams, but in that- all the Narns were nice enough to go soak the bullets.
Another subtle aspect of this scene is watching Morden deflate when Londo detonates the nukes. For the first time in years, he is alone, totally alone, and the connection to his masters severed. Morden looks so puny as he stands in shock, clinging to his little obsidian stone.
Hey, I never noticed that before. Him clinging to his necklace like that. Makes sense, though. If you read the canon-novels, you know what that necklace signifies.
This scene was fantastic. Three seasons we waited for Londo to stand up to Morden, and he finally did it with style and power. Peter Jurasik was fabulous in this series, and this was one of the shining jewels of his performances. Of course, what happened next made it even better.....
This scene is incredible. Everything we as the audience wanted Molari to do to Mr Morden finally came to pass. But, Peter Jurassik was perfection here. Watch his eyes the entire scene. There is utter loathing and rage in them. Remember, Londo now knows it was Morden who killed his love, and was played afterwards. I shudder to think of how badly Londo had him tortured before finally granting Vir his wish
And that scene with Vir was priceless as well. He waved exactly the way he waved when he answered Morden's 'what do you want' question. Quite the payoff scene.
He calls him insane, because londo knows how powerful the shadows are, and that they do not brook betrayal. People are generally afraid of the shadows, esp those who work with them. Morden only cares about himself, and cannot understand Londo, someone he assumed was much the same, throwing away his life by choosing this route (when he could just hop in a ship and get out of the way).
Londo had found out that Mr. Morden "played me like a puppet" by executing his dancing girl he loved and blaming it on his political rival so he'd rejoin the Shadows to get rid of him.
"My shoes are too tight. But it does not matter anymore, for i have forgotten how to dance" Well Londo, it seams you haven't forgotten all the steps! ;D
The second before Morden said, "What're you going to do Mollari, blow up the island?" I was thinking, "He should blow up the island," Not thinking the writers would do something as brute force as that. I figured they'd be trying to switch Londo away from that sort of thing. The second Morden said it, I said, "Holy crap, he IS going to blow up the island!"
Moral: You don't track blood on Superman's cape. You don't spit into the wind. You don't pull the mask off the old Lone Ranger, And you DO NOT mess with Londo Mollari ... especially when the safety of Centauri Prime is at stake.
One additional tidbit to your last part. Morden arranged to have Adira Tyree; who Londo was in love with, killed. So this was both for the safety of Centauri Prime and a measure of revenge for Adira.
@@ejpennine7479 Londo is a fine example of the saying "You get more out of people, when you have both a kind word and a big stick", because that is exactly how Londo operates. He'll start reasonable, put on the charm and politely ask you to do what he wants. Then he'll ask you again more firmly and explain why you should do as he asks and if that doesn't work, he'll tell you about the poison he put in your drink and that if you do as he says, he'll give you the antidote.
There is one absolute and unconditional truth in the universe, Babylon 5 is the greatest television show ever. By the way, I hate Sheldon Cooper's guts because he said Babylon 5 was derivative..
It is actually in his character. Only what he prefers and thinks is right and all others are wrong. (a lot of the humour of the show revolves around this) ^^ He is a bit of a man-child.
I have never actually made it far into the show either. It just feels soooo so stereotypical after a while. It always gets to one point where I really do not want to watch another episode and then I just forget about it for months.
Worfy I am a big fan. I have the entire DVD collection. I haven't watched it in years, saving the next watch when I am relegated into a nursing home. I do watch some episodes when I need some inspiration.
maybe the very worst one being Mira Furlan... taken beyond the rim by the bite of a mosquito [West Nile Virus, if ppl dont know]. She had zero signs of any health issues - which wasnt the case with Andreas, Jerry, and we later learned, Michael O'Hare. Tim Choate (Zathras" to a motorcylce accident IIRC; and the first - RIchard Biggs - no one knew had the fatal heart issue until it happened.
+Gakgaming One of, if not the, best portrayal's of any character in anything, ever. Which is difficult considering how many phenomenal performances there were in B5 alone, but the actor who played Londo went above and beyond on so many levels.
I know Babylon 5 predates DS9 (and "inspired" a lot of it) but Londo makes me think "This is what Dukat would be like if he could be bothered to take his prescriptions once in a while." Still a smug, reckless bastard of the highest order but despite what he says, he is very, VERY sane.
This is going to seem a bit petty for a 7 year old comment, but DS9 started a year before Babylon 5. Still, great characters, and I can always hear Londo saying "Mr. Garibaldi!"
@@TheYpurias DS9 aired before B5 but B5 actually started taping before DS9. It's a moot issue though aside from some very general ideas both series developed on their own naturally.
@@TheYpurias Actually JMS gave the outline of B5 to Paramount, but they rejected it - it was not "Star Trek" enough for them; then they came out with DS9. It was only in 2017 that it was revealed that there had been an out of court settlement between Paramount and WB over the it.
Wiki: "Mainly retired from acting, Wasser founded a construction company called Waterstone Construction and works as a general contractor" Must be rebuilding Centauri Prime..
"What I have done? Oh, Mr. Morden. I haven't even started yet." Turns to guard, "Get me the com number for that contractor company on the island of Salini."
1:37 Morden : "You're insane!" .... Molari : "On any other day , Mr Mordan you would be wrong ... today , today is a very different day!" Always love that
The brief smug smile that Londo elicits as he hits the trigger is quite satisfying, like a chess player that knows the next move is mate before his opponent.
I know this is an old comment I'm responding to, but this reminds me of a scene of Star Trek TNG, the episode "The Defector". Picard has Tomalak......Hey, that's G'Kar!....by the balls, but Tomalak doesn't know it, until the end. It's great in that episode, and it's great here, too.
What else can you say about a character like Londo Mollari? You love him, pity him, fear him, root for him, hate him and cheer for him, often all at the same time. There are very few characters in film, TV or literature that have that kind of power.
I absolutely LOVE this scene, and the scene in "And the Rock Cried Out No Hiding Place" when the Narn get their revenge on Refa and Londo lets them. And of course, Vir looking up into Morden's lifeless eyes! Priceless!
Londo is such an amazing character, and his arc was superbly written and acted. Sadly I don't see anything this complex ever returning to modern Science Fiction. Not with the likes of Star Trek Discovery, etc............Babylon 5 is criminally underrated.
This scene, the one in "The Rock Cried Out No Hiding Place" where he teams up with G'kar, and the killing of Cartagia, all show that Londo will do whatever it takes, no matter the personal sacrifice involved and self-imposed sadness/regret, to protect what he loves most.
One of the most satisfying moments during the 5 yr arc. Love it when Londo narrows his eyes, you can feel the heat of anger behind them. Of course this was followed by Vir’s wave, another very cathartic moment.
Oh man.. just hearing Londo's voice from a long time gives me goosebumps. I Freaking love Londo (and practically every character in B5 because it is the greatest Sci fi show or show ever, to me).
I have watched the entire series at least five times. I have the DVDs. Even when I know what's coming, my butt still tightens when he pulls out that little detonator. It was actually my wife who bought the series on DVD. I once asked her if she'd ever watched B5 and she said yes, but not every one. I showed her this particular sequence and explained that she had to watch the series from the very beginning to really 'get' the show. She was sufficiently intrigued by seeing this much to agree to join me in my cramped office watching season 1 on Hulu on my (at the time) 17 inch monitor. One day she told me to expect a package in the mail but didn't tell me what it was. "No problem", I though to myself, "she probably bought a book or something..." No, she'd liked the show so much she bought the boxed set!
The whole series was designed from the start to have stuff started in season 1 only to finish in season 4. And some things that might have looked insignificant at first ended up being very significant much later on. I really like this way of storytelling. Not like in most shows where episodes are not related to another at all.
Gotta agree. The story-telling in this show was some of the best in sci fi. So many inter-weaving threads that all work together for the overall story arc.
JMS refers to it as "holographic storytelling" -- the idea that little bits of what appear to be unrelated plot eventually resolve into a much bigger picture that's only visible from the correct distance. Superb.
He wasn't insane. He was having the most excruciatingly sane moment of his entire life. He had exactly one way to save his planet from the fate he had brought down upon it, and I'm pretty sure he at least strongly suspected that it would buy him a lifetime of personal suffering, but in that moment, he chose to pay the price with his eyes open. His internal monologue was probably something like "Well, this is where my choices have brought me. Nothing more than I bargained for, time to do an Emperor's job." Or maybe I'm overthinking it.
@@richardkenan2891 You're not overthinking it. That is the correct read. Because Londo was first and foremost a patriot; everything else, including himself, be damned . . .
I figured out what Londo was going to do about a half second before Morden asked that question. It was quite satisfying to know I was right. It was the only thing that could happen.
Yup. Probably a bad move. Also, probably the first time Shadows got force-fed a nuclear explosion. Unless you count that one time on their homeworld. Actually, come to think of it, through the entirety of this show, it's pretty much the Shadows getting their Chrysallid-looking butts handed to them by the younger races. That's gotta be embarrassing.
+FATEd Pondera That's the thing with the shadows. Physically they're quite weak. They rely on cloaking and subtlety to make up for that. The vorlons act openly, if subtly, frequently relying on raw power. The Shadows operate from, well, the shadows. Thus the name. They rarely attack openly because they aren't equipped to do so well, or to hold up in a direct fight against the Vorlon.
hagamapama They managed to take Kosh out though, and that was a direct fight. He even knew they were coming. I think, in this scene, they just weren't expecting Londo to do all this.
Londo, played by Peter Jurasik, has to be one the most interesting characters in television sci-fi, straddling the line between good and bad. And G'Kar , played by Andreas Katsulas, was his perfect foil. Garak from DS9, played by Andy Robinson, also falls into this category, as does Luther Sloan of Section 31, brilliantly played by William Sadler. Sometimes it's not the good guy or the bad guy who are most interesting, though Ricardo Montalban as Khan Noonien Singh is a rare exception to that. It's the characters that straddle the line who are most interesting. Oh, and I forgot about one of the best, Armin Shimmerman as Quark.
The one difference that I see between G'kar, Londo, and Garak, is that the first two were meant to be series regulars from the start, while Garak was, I think, meant only to be a one time throwaway character. But Garak was such a spectacularly good character that he earned a spot as a recurring character and later a semi to completely regular character on DS9. It's amazing to remember that Andy Robinson was the bad guy in the first Dirty Harry movie. But now, at least for sci-fi fans, I'd say that he'll be remembered more for being Garak.
It's so amusing that Morden still calls them "my associates" even after everyone else knows them as the Shadows. I guess that's because, according to Anna Sheridan, their human proxies don't like that term and their real name is 10,000 letters long.
Josh Sweetvale Unlike Anna, he wasn't reprogrammed; he was convinced to work for the Shadows under threat of his family, which was ostensibly held by the Shadows, being killed if he disobeyed.
Henry Pickett His family died in an accident in Hyperspace. The Shadows got him to cooperate by telling him that they could rescue them from Hyperspace.
I haven't seen this episode in 20 years and still recognize that line, Peter Jurasik is one of the greatest ever, reveling in his role as much as Palpy.
You can't really compare new Star Trek to the fantastic story of Babylon 5. They're a completely different class. Babylon 5 is, a masterpiece. New Star Trek is simply aiming to earn all the fat duckets it can as opposed to have any lasting appeal. And that's all I care to say about the matter because, as soon as you list all the good and the bad, people crawl out of the woodworks.
Londo is such a brilliant character. He was always motivated by his genuine love of Centauri Prime and his people, but made tragically bad decisions based on that.
And this is why despite the hammy acting and the now dated SFX, this show is one the best space operas ever. I must have spent a fortune on merch, including autographed trading cards. I only wish I had met the marvellous Andreas Katsulas, G'Kar, before his passing ☹️
@@joesycamore2899 back in the day, one issue of SFX magazine had an interview with Jerry Doyle, Garabaldi, and he stated that while Star Trek DS9 and TNG had Shakespearean actors, they were telling fart jokes and hamming it up. So, yes, it was very hammy, but that was also part of its charm... I'd dig out the issue but it's in storage along with most of my "collectibles" including a signed trading card I paid £900 for back in 2000.
Shadows: "Our race is a billion years more advanced. We're practically on another plane of existence." Centauri guards: "Haha small arms go pew pew pew."
Yeah that's my only issue with this scene. Vorlons (first ones) take a ridiculous effort to kill, tanking loads of ppg fire, a station reactor dumping its output into one, and then needing Lorien, Kosh and Sheridan to combine to kill Kosh Ulkesh. Shadows (an even older first one race) just get pewpewed and flat die like a punk.
@@ivorbiggun3873 I never had a problem with it. The Shadows have a similar level of technology to the Vorlons, but there is no reason that means they cannot, as individuals of their species, be a _lot_ less powerful than an individual Vorlon would be.
S-094 Cam “I had most of our people evacuated from Cellini during the night, only a handful stayed behind to keep up a sense of normalcy...they knew what was being asked of them”
your head, on a spike, as a warning to others that there is a price too high to pay, and i can wave to your dead staring eyes ... or something close to this ;:))
Londo Molari reminds me of an old quote from long before the English language was even invented. "Whom the gods would destroy, they first grant wishes." He made his wish, wept at the truth of it, bled for the cost of it, and died hoping he could be forgotten if not forgiven for it. Conversely, he is why Vir will be remembered as "The Great" in the listing of Emperors.
Gotta love Londa Mollari. Unpredictable, as he can act happy go lucky, but change to be ruthless and terrifying!!! Scheming, as his opponents think they can outwit him but he always outwits them. Peter Jurasik absolutely played this character brilliantly One of my favourite character next to G'Kar!
I can almost imagine the few Centauri who remained on the island, knowing when the designated time was coming. One starts singing a well-known patriotic song from one of their operas. Another hears him/her and joins in. Slowly, the remaining populace begins singing to the point that the song can be heard all over the island. The Shadows have no clue what is going on and are confused to what this means. And then as the song reaches its final epic peak, Londo's detonation signal reaches the bombs.
We never learn for certain whether or not he really did poison Refa's drink, or (like Sinclair did in the pilot) lied about doing so to keep Refa paranoid when the poison they searched for wasn't found, but this scene is proof that yes, he very well _could_ have.
Morden: You're insane Londo: On any other day, Mr. Morden you'd be wrong. Today? Today is a very different day. Someday, I can see myself saying "Today is a very different day" just like Peter Jurasik.
"I had most of our people evacuated from Mar-a-Logo during the night. The rest stayed, to maintain the illusion of our presence there. They knew what was being asked of them."
"I had most of our people evacuated from Biden's room during the night. The rest stayed, to maintain the illusion of a coherent president. They knew what was being asked of them."
"I'm Fine." -No, Mr. Morden, You're not. You fucked with the wrong Centauri Old -School Republican... I also have to commend the Centauri Imperial Guard for their discipline: Escorting a prisoner whom you obviously have been told is always accompanied by at least two beings that can only be described as Eldricht Abominations.
