An all time classic, I love this episode so much, and getting to hear Vera's take on it with her fresh eyes is very appreciated! With regards to that haunting shot of Londo watching out of a window in silent horror as the Centauri fleet uses the mass drivers to bombard Narn, I'd like to point out a parallel that I discovered with another sci-fi show which I love, the 2018 reboot of She-Ra. In the Season 5 episode "Corridors", the deeply traumatized antagonist Catra is also on board a spaceship looking out the window at a planetary bombardment which was occurring as a direct result of her short-sighted and reactionary decisions. The way that both Londo and Catra see their own reflections superimposed over scenes of unimaginable death and destruction has me convinced that it's a direct nod, though I've yet to read any word from the creators one way or the other.
