"It also flew in the face of Kirk's statement in V that 'I always knew I would die alone'. Though, technically speaking, having Picard there is equivalent to a lonely death."
Also, technically speaking, Kirk wasn't a fortune teller. Just because he convinced himself he would die alone, that doesn't mean it was true.

Well, we are talking about a man who indiscriminately put his penis inside whatever qualified as "female" on every planet he visited.

Yes, but he was making love not war for the greater glory of the Federation, so those deeds are easily excused. B)

Kirk did make that statement when speaking to Spock, but he also said in that movie that he knew he wouldn't die because the two of them (Spock & McCoy) were with him, so you could interpret it that he could die if either Spock or McCoy specifically weren't there, which on Veridian III, they weren't.

I don't think so. He says, "I'll die alone." The logic being "I didn't die, because there were other people there with me. Specifically, you two." If he meant McCoy and Spock, and them only, then "I'll die without you two there" would have made more sense.
And I'm amazed we've got this far without a Londo joke.

It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

It was between that and, '185 Vorlons walk into a bar. Bartender says, "We don't serve Vorlons here." 185 Vorlons say, "..."'. So I went with the Lando joke even if it made me look dumb.

I was more talking about the whole "Kirk predicting how he'd die", in relation to Londo actually knowing how he'd die.
Morons.

Well, if you wanted the joke done right, why didn't you just do it yourself, eh? EH? Stupid boy.

Which reminds me, I really should go in there occasionally.
