Yeah, I know -- I was going to comment on that scene, that beautiful scene when Londo's told that it was Morden who had Adira killed and Londo -- for maybe the first time in the series finally sees it, sees it all and trashes his room in the palace (flagrant disregard for the customs of the royal court for the first time -- look at the way he glances around at the furniture he destroys, like it's sacrilege, like he can't believe it himself -- but also with such abhorrence, such disgust) and screams "he played me! He played me!"
Because Adira's death -- and Londo's vengeance against Refa -- was up until that point the one thing Londo did for himself, outside the parameters of the Shadows' careful manipulation. Except, of course, it wasn't, and they took even that from him.
Tell me -- what was the first time Londo met Morden? Morden comes aboard the station...eavesdrops to find out what Londo's up to? Pretends to -- organize a party? My season one memory is all a big blur of baldness, I swear. *g* But what happened there, again?
