Eee, Babylon 5, bringing back good memories, those were the days.
I agree that Legacies seems less a coherent story than a bunch of inconsistent actions that we are challenged to make up a story about. Which is I doubt what JMS intended, but is actually my favourite way of watching TV, hence that being one of the episodes I've watched most often. And yes, Minbari going insane with grief seems part of it. And Delenn in particular, never quite as Lawful Good as she presents as being.
I need to go back and re-watch that scene with Londo - what you're saying makes total sense and yes it hurts. Oh, Londo indeed.
