I too wondered why Delenn had to meet Lennier is some bar in down-below. It's not like they weren't noticed! Not like Marcus wasn't noticed when he did it too... but maybe even being noticed there doesn't make much of an impression.

I always thought they way Delenn was always touching Lennier's face after she knew how he felt was a bit like rubbing his nose in the fact that she would never be his. Perhaps she meant it to console him but it certainly never came across that way.

Vir was lovely in his rage, wasn't he? He's come a long way from where we met him in Season 1 and he will certainly someday grow to be the emperor that Londo meant to be.

Seeing Londo come to an end to his time on Babylon 5 is sad. I always felt the series was really about Londo and G'kar and their trials and tribulations more than anything else anyway.
