I like Delenn, but when she goes into the channeling Nancy Reagan mode
and her dialogue goes from the sublime to the ridiculous ('Oh John!' ad
nauseam) I wait for Sheridan to go out of the scene so she can go back
to her real self.
I admire Delenn's character, but I'd much rather watch Ivanova (an
avatar of the warrior goddess in my humble opinion). I wasn't sure if
anything would top the B5 mantra (I will listen to Ivanova, I will not
ignore Ivanova's recommendations, Ivanova is God...etc.) but that last
big speech on the White Star bridge where she calls herself the daughter
of vengeance and death incarnate was just awesome. That permanently
enshrined her right up there with David Weber's Honor Harrington in the
pantheon for me.
Damn, I'm going to miss her (and Marcus too!). Season 5 won't quite be
the same.
