Yeah, me too. He was a very tragic character, and Katsulas brought a tremendous amount of dignity to the role.

Dignity, fallibility, and commitment to become more than what he started with. Fine Character and great performance.

Yes; I found the character of Londo to be much more tragic. G'Kar (dare I say it) evolved throughout the series to become a much better person (Narn, actually) than when he started. Londo, on the other hand, let his ambitions for himself and his Republic guide his actions, to the detriment of both.

G'Kar was a good character, but I preferred his assistant. :wink:

Actually, Delenn was the character I always found most interesting.
