In case you are watching it for the first time do yourself a favor and not open/follow threads on it. Simple things could be massive spoilers & its a show that works best when watching "unprepared"
I can't take it anymore! Could everyone just chill out for two seconds before something CRAZY happens again?!

Weyoun, all of him, is a fine character, and quite enjoyable to watch. Weyoun 6 almost elevated the character to a new level as a tragic character, when he explained the genetic losses his people suffered to serve the Dominion. Unfortunately, Weyoun is largely oblivious to his tragedy, though he did realize he was likely missing something when considering art.
Londo, however, is almost Shakespearan as a character, and having G'Kar as his foil really makes it so. In the opening seasons he's not unlike Falstaff in his buffoonery, but as his tragic nature grows, he becomes something more like Titus Andronicus, outraged when his king makes peace with his greatest threat, forcing him eventually to come up with a vicious solution. In his death, he is a bit like Hamlet, who likewise died at the hands of one who was both enemy and friend, and in their deaths, defeat a greater enemy.
Londo's dialog, particularly in the character's wiser years, is superb, if not as poetic as G'Kar's. Londo is more straight to the point.

Or maybe Bester and Weyoun.
I'd favor Weyoun over Morden, and Bester over Weyoun.
I'm glad we have someone as unbiased and impartial as you, Ambassador.

Bah, I cannot be blamed if Mr. Weyoun has no appreciation for the simpler joys of life!
