An Intended Audience Reaction in Babylon 5, concerning Centauri Ambassador Londo Mollari and Narn Ambassador G'kar. According to legend, at the very beginning of the series, JMS had the two flip a coin to see which one would be “the hero” and which one “the villain”, then swore them to secrecy. Both begin with a serious case of Fantastic Racism (mostly directed at each other), and both eventually undergo a Heel Realization, but which (if either) of them is the hero is entirely up to the viewer. Given that they’re good friends and on the same side by the end, it’s arguable whether the question even means anything.
Happy 4 year anniversary, folks.
