No, lamentably - I really need to get around to seeing it one of these days. For a sci-fi fan (and a British one), it's really inexcusable how much good stuff I must be missing out on. Interesting that the B7 Anna wasn't brainwashed. Hm. I'm talking myself into writing Anna-fic here...
BTW, Morden has always been my candidate for "do not kill the one who is already dead"
Yeah, I think it has to be him as well. The alternative would be Sheridan, I suppose - but we never really see Londo in a position where killing Sheridan's a real possibility, or of what the consequences of that would be.
All this being said... it's remarkable that Londo never got the third degree and a serious questioning about the Shadows' aims.
So it is... I think the only reasonable explanation is that he didn't realise how important Londo was to the Shadows until it was too late to do anything about it, in the same way that Delenn didn't realise how important Morden was. I don't think he should have let Delenn talk him out of trying to think like the Shadows...
