Delenn was probably my least favorite character on B5, yet I love, love, love the actress on Lost. Go figure! I think it's she was just so 'removed' most of the time. But there were some moments ...
1. When we were in the future and she came tottering out and said "John was a good man ... A good man." and then left. It had more power to me than all the speaches she had made previously. She saw him despite all his faults and measured him "Good."
2. When she came out of the chrysilis and couldn't figure out what to do with all the hair. I remember just hollowing over it. The humor just carried through out the episode, especially as she had Ivanova's help figuring out how to be a 'human woman'.
3. When Lenner (sp?!?) quits and returns to become a Warrior, maybe, I just remember what they didn't say among the 2. At the point, we had seen him be in love with her for 4 seasons. They had so much history. It was just powerful what wasn't said between them. She handled it just right but their looks of what could not/would not be, ah, sweet.
