THIS.

I have to say the biggest brightIn all seriousness, it looks like he has a really loving (heh) relationship with the two of them, in a way it was a wrap up to the question of Centauri love and marriage that has been a theme the entire show. I think Londo would be proud, maybe a bit jealous, but I wish he could have seen it because I think in the end when Vir was what he wanted to save of the Centauri. I like to think Londo got something of a happy ending vicariously through Vir's happiness.

Honestly, after the river of tears that was "The Fall of Centauri Prime" my sadness for this episode was much more quiet. That being said, the moment where Delenn and Sheriden broke down and hugged each other is when I broke down too. Though they weren't the most important part of the show for me their love was still beautiful. A secret part of me wants to think that Lennier isn't dead, just waiting to come back when Delenn needs him most, after Sheriden has died and all the old wounds healed. But maybe that's just wishful thinking.

Ok, that first sentence got strangely f-ed up. I meant the "I have to say the biggest bright spot was seeing Vir with his two wives."
