Love how Chuck just commits to treating this all like one big RPG.

Well, the show WAS very RPG-like. Or like a comic book - the more perspective I gain on the show, the easier I find it to perceive the parallels between traditional comic storytelling and the program. Perhaps "serial storytelling" is the general metaphor.

Especially in Season Three and Four, when they added a ranger to their party.

I love G'Kar's line asking if the Centauri court has seen Garibaldi. Such a badass line. The look on Londo's face when he sees the opportunity he's been presented. The one guy he can absolutely trust to kill the Centauri Emperor is his greatest rival and a guy who's been resisting killing him for years.
The conversation is epic. Londo pointing that both are patriots. Yes, they've both craved personal power, but when push comes to shove, their worlds come first. I just love these to characters and actors together (along with the writing). They can do comedy, drama, action, etc. and it all seems perfectly in character.

Just a small part of why G'Kar and Londo interactions and lines are so great.cdrood wrote: ↑Tue Mar 29, 2022 9:23 pm I love G'Kar's line asking if the Centauri court has seen Garibaldi.

I have always joked that I would watch a sitcom of Londo and G'Kar as neighbors.
I got nothing to say here.
