"Phoenix Rising" - The telepath saga comes to an end.  I think.  Also
over the course of the last three epsiode Londo and G'Kar have been
having adventures on Centarui Prime.  The Centauri Prime scenes are the
best, but it makes zero sense for G'Kar to be living with Londo on
Londo's home planet serving as Londo's bodyguard.  That's just some
twisted convoluted writing to get the two of them to share scenes together.

 It doesn't have to make sense. As we said at the time, the two actors
could read from the telephone book and they'd entertain the audience.
 

I'm not disagreeing.  Like I said those were the best scenes.  Just acknowledging having the Narn ambassador, and high (perhaps highest) ranking government official serve as the bodyguard to his sworn enemy, made *no* sense!  LOL

This is the good stuff in Season 5, Londo's tragic fate and the fall of
Centauri Prime, although the latter has to be read in the trilogy of
novels.

I fear my plan to selective watch season 5 episodes is going to get tossed out.  According to the Lurker's Guide almost all the remaining season 5 episodes are must watch episodes.  And who am I to argue with the Lurker's Guide?
