As one of the biggest Londo fans in the cosmos I still have to say G'Kar is also interesting enough to justify an A-Plot about him meeting an attractive woman and sleeping with her. :) (Not that we ever got it, but I always thought the backstory of his affair with Mariel would be fun, in a vicious Narn/Centauri kind of way, which is why I wrote it (http://archiveofourown.org/works/13991).)


Man, Lyta gets no respect – I mean, I remembered nobody was really friends with her, but I’d forgotten that nobody even directly informed her Kosh was dead!

To be fair, they probably didn't know how to reach her wherever she was, but Sheridan could have informed the customs people to let him know when she gets back to the station so he could tell her in person. Or have Ivanova do it, at least. But no, Lyta gets no respect. Which is why I always thought the s5 development when she finally hit her limit of being used was logical.
