I'm stuck with the hilarious but awesome mental image of Delenn just sort of up and picking up Sheridan at some point, and him being all "BWUH?" Because of course she'd have spent the past however-many 15 or so years pretending that she was a Delicate Flower of Femininity because her research indicates that Human men might get a little freaked by the idea of a girl half their size who can, you know, pick them up and throw them over her shoulder.
Also, this makes her complete lack of fighting back in "GROPOS" just that extra bit more appalling. Which is pretty scary considering I've always found her lack of nerve in that scene a little weird. Don't get me wrong, I'd be scared shitless in that situation and would probably be unable to so much as think, just like she seemed to be. I just hope for my heroines to be slightly more put-together than me, and Delenn certainly seems to be every other time we see her in a spot, so... it's a bit odd. Especially if she can pick them up and throw them over her shoulder.
Your description of the way the mask is pulling and the way poor Mira has to try to speak without emoting or moving her face just pains me. Pure and simple.
And... yeah. God, I'm glad I haven't seen this thing. The Boy keeps trying to convince me we should watch the movies next, because he's a total completist, but... I'm not sure I could handle it.
