  • Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed. Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Our policies can be reviewed here.
  • All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.
  • All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.

Point of No Return[]

Cquote1
There is always choice. We say there is no choice only to comfort ourselves with the decision we have already made. If you understand that, there's hope. If not ...
—Lady Morella
Cquote2


This episode contains examples of:[]

  • The Chosen One: Londo thinks he is one, but is no longer certain what he's been chosen for.
  • Civil War: Shooting breaks out between Earth Alliance military forces.
  • The Emperor: Part of Lady Morella's prophecy to Londo: "You will be Emperor, that part of your destiny cannot be avoided. (looking at Vir) You will also be Emperor."
  • Hey, It's That Guy!: Majel Barrett needs no introduction.
  • Humans Are Special: G'Kar believes humans are "the key", one that must be turned to find salvation for all.
  • It Sucks to Be the Chosen One: Londo wants to hear that the great future he sees before him won't happen.
  • Royals Who Actually Do Something: Lady Morella not only gives Londo the prophecy he asked for, she also personally tends to Vir when he's hurt during a riot.
  • Shoot Out the Lock: Sheridan advises against it: The door his opponents are trapped behind is made of an alloy immune to PPG blasts.
  • Spy Speak: The message Sheridan receives from General Smits is actually a reminder that Nightwatch is usurping the chain of command.
  • Vagueness Is Coming: Lady Morella's three chances for Londo to escape his fate. Her answer to whether or not he becomes Emperor is a more straight forward "you will."
