I was just watching 'Confessions and Lamentations' last night and had the darnedest moment of Deja-Vu...in mirror image!
Remember in 'Sleeping in Light' how the last thing John does before turning away from Delenn is to stroke her cheek? Delenn did *exactly the same thing* in C&L when she told Sheridan that she'd see him again in the place where no Shadows fall. Arguably, since just after that was when Sheridan told her to call him 'John' in the future, that was the very beginning of their true relationship.
The same gesture exchanged decades apart. I'd always thought the gesture was slightly awkward for Sheridan in SiL but now I understand that he was saying the same thing to her without the words.
Symmetry....
