I didn't cry as much this time through as I have in the past but I always lose it when Sheriodan tells Delenn about the Sunday drive. A very important person in my life went on a Sunday drive and never returned which makes it doubly sad for me.

I had comppletely forgotten vir's story about Londo and the singing of the Pak'mara. It made me cry for Londo, and for Vir who knew him better than anyone and loved him probably more than anyone too.

As finales go, it was my favorite. It left room for more but tied up all the loose ends at the same time.

I particularly enjoyed how Sheridan moved... like a creaky old man.

Ditto this. I'm pretty good at holding it together until that scene, and then the rest is just a sobfest.
