Everybody seems to be missing the point that the Reparations and the harsh treatment of the Centauri were stage managed by the Drakh. Londo was their Puppet when he went out of his way to alienate Sheridan & Delenn so that they would not try to help the Centauri. They respected what they...

Part of the problem with winning the Hugo is that there were so Many episodes that people liked that the Vote got Split. I believe at least half a dozen Different episodes were nominated, but not enough votes for any ONE Episode to push it over the top. The Two Hugos B5 did win had a bit of...
