I think what I find interesting about G'Kar is that he was always a strong character, but his strength in the beginning was a weapon. He was hard because he had to be and then he didn't know how to be anything different. But you see his journey, and his ultimate core doesn't change, but he becomes, like, the best version of himself.

Yes, that. He left ... a lot of the bitterness go, over the arc of the show. Got mostly pain in its place, which almost makes it stronger, really. I think it's part of the reason that scene after Cartagia hits me so hard. Because he fought there by trusting Londo, he fought by giving the Centauri what they wanted, if only briefly, he fought by sacrificing his personal honour and letting the enemy see his weakness, and none of that would have been possible for him as the Narn we saw in Season 1, none of that was something he could even have imagined, and it worked but holy gods did he pay for it. And then that other Narn walked up, exactly as G'Kar would have done a couple of years before, and asked him that fucking question. What did he sacrifice.

Everything. Or at least everything that he'd have thought mattered, once upon a time.

So, yeah, G'Kar has a truly stunning arc, and one that sort of rips your heart out along the way. Vir has a similar one, actually. And Londo. Him and Londo sort of propelled each other along. Chopping bits off each other along the way. The death dream was such a wonderful emblem of that. The different things it meant at various stages of their relationship, and the thing it finally came to mean in reality.

I think, in the end, G'Kar might be the character I admire more, while Londo is the character I enjoy more? And they are both at their simultaneous best and worse when in each other's company, I think.

I think there is a big theme on the show in general of sacrifice and that sometimes you have to suffer in order to do the right thing. Everyone on the show gets it somewhat bittersweet because there are good times, but they all go through a lot of horrible stuff on the way and mostly knew the cost of what they were doing but knew it was the right thing to do. Its like, you know Londo is on the wrong path because things are going well for him. And then when he does the right thing, his life eventually sucks, but he knew he was doing the right thing.
