It can be high camp at times but it is one of my favorites. Londo is my favorite character. Most of the time he tries to do good. But when pushed, he will bite the bullet and be bad. Karen

    I wish I had seen the series when it was actually screening...Many actors had died by the time I saw it.

    I loved the dynamics between Lando and G'Kar.

    I loved Michael Garibaldi but my all-time favourite was Neroon ..when he died I stopped watching I just couldn't continue I was so upset.

    I read that Lando and Sheridan also die in the 5 and last season.

Oh, hell yes!!!!! You have rattled some lovely memories for me with this post. I have watched all five years of this series at least twice. The love/hate relationship with Londo and G'Kar is one of the bedrocks of this series. You have picked a premier quote from Londo (there are many) and IT'S GREAT!!! I have many different favorite episodes but one I am recalling right now is when Vir and Lenier are at a local bar, getting drunk, commiserating and bitching about what a pain in the ass it is to tend to their high-profile bosses. I will definitely be voting for this (if I haven't missed it already). Thank you SOOOOO much for this blast from the past. Love it!!! Lynda

    Glad my wee poem brought back happy memories.

    It's a great series and I'm only sorry I saw it so late when some of the actors in the meantime passed away.

    There were many characters to love ..but my all-time favourite was Neroon.

    I was devastated when he stepped in, saved Delenn, and sacrificed himself. I cried my heart out.

    I actually stopped watching .. Later, I read that Lando dies in season 5 and Sheridan too. I'm thinking of watching the last season this Christmas.

    Vir was gentle, honest soul and he cared about Lando ..Lennier instead pretended to like everyone but in reality he disliked Humans..he considered them inferior..... at least that's the impression I got.

    Thank you for the extra star! The contest has not hit the booth yet!

    Take care!

    You are most welcome. Killer entry.

    My favorite sci-fi television series is "Firefly". It only lasted one season. A couple of years later they wrapped it all up with the movie Serenity. Great stuff.

    Yep, I'll watch for the vote. This was a great post and I enjoyed it thoroughly. Good luck!!

    Yes, season 5 of this truly does wrap it up but parts are sad at the end. We all need closure.

    I watched Firefly about 6 months ago for the first time ..I loved it... less the film.

    I'm a sci fic nerd ! Star Trek the original is my all-time favourite series.

    Take care!

A fine metaphor in the dialogue of this series and I understood the meaning perfectly, we forget very easily the wistful passion of the youth, a fine post, love Dolly x

    I wish I had seen the series earlier when all the actors were still alive.

    Lando's sad words always stuck with me. Not being my work, I feared my entry would be disqualified, instead it was accepted. Yeah!
