I'm sorry it got confusing; I was working it out as I went along. Plus I have a terrible tendency to play Devil's Advocate and argue both sides just for fun.

I was thinking of Edmund Burke's quotation as I re-watched the episode; 'All that is necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing.' I don't mean to put the burden of events on Vir. He does argue with Londo, trying to change his mind. But that bit at the end, when he tells Londo he'll confront him in the future about how this was a wrong decision...I started to think, 'And what exactly are you doing but going along with it, Vir?' Also I kept wishing someone would do something...which I guess shows the power of the show, that I get caught up in the story every time.

Or then again, maybe I'm just in a cranky mood. ;)
