G'Kar vs Londo, and the Shadows

Do you suppose G'Kar, or Londo for that matter, ever wondered how things might have gone if G'Kar had given the "better" answer to Mr Morden's "What do you want?"
If the Shadows had allied with G'Kar and the Narn instead, and the Narn had rampaged through the stars, basically destroying Centauri Prime, etc, would Londo have had the strength of character that G'Kar demonstrated?
Overall, it seems "fortunate" that events unfolded as they did.

Nope! As I was watching last nights episode today (Long Twilight Struggle), I remembered that back when I first watched B5 I was always 'Team G'Kar, Londo seemed to be too ruthless & self absorbed, although he had his goofy moments. I don't usually 'wax philosophical' about TV shows. Mainly because when it comes to TV I want to be entertained, I don't want to know why a character does what they do (most of the time, there are exceptions, POI being one). Of course I want a decent story, decent actors, etc., but in the end I want to be entertained. If I recall, I wasn't fan of the 'super' serious episodes. But I'll have to wait & see as the series goes on to see how my opinions might change?

What I meant was it has been 20 years since I've seen the series from the beginning & my opinions about the series as a whole & individual episodes might change after a rewatch.
Could I ask you why you 'pepper' your posts with capitals, bolding , etc.? It makes your posts hard to read.

He wasn't searching constantly. The Vorlons woke him up whenever they had someone for him to test.
