Londo is an interesting dichotomy, a comic tragic figure.
I'd say you totally nailed that assessment.
Susan is utterly delightful
Aside from the accent, which is CC's own California, she plays the Russian bit well... and CC is extremely easy on the eyes, yes.
I'll have more to say as you go. There are a couple of points I'm dying to make, but they'd be spoilers...
And the Lurker's Guide for the win, best fansite EVAR. It's not the flashiest, but it is the most complete, centralized resource on a given genre I have ever seen. Poor Midwinter.com got so slashdotted they had to mirror it not once but twice... once overseas.
They even gave out the commercial breakpoints ahead of time so that fans who were recording, either off the sattelite or their local broadcast feed, could narf the commercials under program control.
Tolkein wrote the first big saga of the modern SF era. Lucas did it on the big screen. (And should've quit at three.) JMS did what those two august gentlemen did in their media, but he did it on the little screen, on the cheap and without a whole hell of a lot of support from other than the fans. Even Joss didn't manage that, though what he did was damn good.
I don't think we'll see the like - a full five-year story arc of this quality - again anytime soon. Alas.
