I have only watched "Atonement" so far -- though if nothing goes wrong my schedule calms down next week and I should be able to get caught up!
I gotta say that I am getting more and more dubious/anti-ship about Sheridan and Delenn's relationship, seeing as how it seems to be based on Delenn Never Ever Telling Him Anything -- and Sheridan apparently being totally okay with this even though it had severe negative consequences before?? Like, even Clan Leader Dude is like, "uhhhh, don't you think you should say something to Sheridan about this in case you DON'T COME BACK?" Yeah, I know, that wasn't quite the thrust of his statement, but STILL. Absolute faith in your own rightness does not equal communicating in a relationship!
Delenn: But why would the Dreaming show me this? What is it trying to tell me?? Me: IT IS TRYING TO TELL YOU THAT YOU SHOULDN'T KEEP ALL THESE SECRETS FROM SHERIDAN, OMG.
the second, though it's the one which solves the ostensive problem of the episode (getting consent for the relationship with Sheridan from her clan), is almost incidental, since it's the first, and how she handles it, that's instrumental to her character.
Heh, it's clearly the first reveal that stayed with me and not the second :) (Even though while watching it was a great reveal!)
JMS said Delenn never tells Sheridan at all
Heh, until you said this I was sure Lennier's jealousy-fueled action in S5 that keeps getting alluded to was him telling Sheridan about Delenn's order! (It's the kind of spoiler I'm glad to have, mind you.) I mean, if he really wanted to blow up their relationship, that would be the way to do it...
I mean, I guess it worked out for Delenn not to tell Sheridan, if he never found out at all! But, like, it's not like it was something no one else knew?? All it would take would be one Grey Council member, or Lennier, or Clan Leader Dude, to casually mention it one day...
