* KarmicShunning: [[spoiler:By mid season 2, Londo Mollari has engineered events that have lead to the destruction of two Narn colonies and started a war between the Narn Regime and Centauri Republic. While his role has brought many admirers and hangers-on from the Centauri, he finds that those he actually considers friends are keeping their distance. It comes to a point when he approaches Mr. Garibaldi to invite him for a drink, only for Garibaldi to act borderline hostile. He does eventually agree to one, but hours later as the bar closes, Londo is alone at a table still waiting. Later, after Londo defuses an potential diplomatic bomb, and saves Garibaldi a lot of headaches, he does come to join him for a drink, but the moment is bittersweet as they each realize this is probably the last time they will be able to consider each other a friend]].

* PracticallyDifferentGenerations: Jaddo is in his fifties when he dies, but his youngest sister (likely a half-sister) only marries and has children about a decade after his death. This indicates an age difference of 2-4 decades, likely on the further side due to how many Centauri noblewomen marry young in arranged marriages.
