Which, okay, fine - she's not, she's a hybrid. Um. Which you would think would mean they'd be okay with her icky-hybrid-ness going off and marrying some Human so that she doesn't create more icky-hybrid Minbari.
Exactly! Also, I agree with your supposition that Kalenn was probably going to stuff her in a nunnery. And perhaps he was also thinking that because of her change, Delenn is no longer genetically compatible with other Minbari, so she couldn't have a kid with another Minbari?
This is pretty much Lennier's best episode, isn't it?
Haha, Delenn totally had a crush on Dukhat! I bet it didn't last very long, though, or things would've gotten really awkward in the however many years he was her mentor.
I'm thinking that the teacher/student relationship is a pretty damned big deal in Minbari culture.
I think you're totally right. There's also Delenn's whole attitude toward Draal; in fact, I'm not sure we're shown any Minbari/Minbari relationship that isn't teacher/studenty, aside from Neroon v. Delenn and Lennier.
not like that guy who showed up in the other episode who was being all "I have a degree in literature"
