Like you I blitzed through as fast as I could wanting to get to the kiss. And this was such a strange and wonderful way to do it. John's first kiss with Delenn is not Delenn's first kiss with John and vice versa. Wow. There is no first kiss for them both! I once wrote a series of snippets detailing a first kiss in every episode I could cram it into through seasons 2 and 3 up to this. But I like this best.
What about the bathrobe controversy? I am about to post the Shadow Dancing recap so I'll touch on it, but it comes up here first.
The 'Do not go to Z'ha'dum' directive I took as sheer panic, and a bit of opportunism. A chance to change the past, one last chance...she only has 3 years to go and it must be an awful weight to bear. And here she thought it was going to be all right--she was going to die with him, there on Centauri Prime! No living on for year after lonely year. Then a last minute reprieve for them both, and she just cracked wide open. It was one of Delenn's most 'human' moments, I think, aside from the terrible agony of the episode Z'ha'dum.
