  • Delenn Revealed?

    I'm reading the second script book.

    Franklin asks Delenn what she did during the war. Later Sinclair confides in Garabaldi, that Delenn was a member of the Grey council.

    Other than In SiL Sheridan mentions about Delenn's Grey council training, Was Delenn's role in Minbari affairs, and more specifically the Earth/Minbari War ever fully revealed?

      Refresh my memory here. I remember Sinclair finding out what Delenn's title 'Satai' meant but I don't remember his telling Garibaldi about it.

      To us the viewers? Sure. Did Sheridan or any non-Minbari discover her role in starting the war? Not that we know of.

        In And the Sky full of Stars,(at least in the script book) Sinclair tells Garabaldi about what he remembered with Knight Two's "help", and asks Garabaldi to look into it.

        Garbaldi later offers the quote after some digging that the Minbari rejected everyone until Sinclair's name came up.

        As far as I know nothing else came up on the topic, at least for the characters, although the audience did find out.

          That's in Signs and Portents, isn't it?

            Garbaldi information on Sinclair's appointment was indeed in Signs, and not Stars

              Yep -- in "Atonement" as mentioned above, and also in the movie, "In the Beginning." Delenn was the one to give the order for the Minbari to show no mercy to Earth and to start the whole Earth-Minbari war because she was so pissed after Dukhat got killed.

              Also, during Season 1, Delenn still IS a member of the Grey Council - in "Babylon Squared" the Grey Council says they are going to decide her fate, and she is officially removed in Season 2 when Neroon replaces her ("All Alone in the Night").

              She'll never tell him.

              they have now.

              This is also hinted at in "In the Beginning" -- it's that the Minbari wanted Sinclair to command Babylon 5 so that Delenn could be the ambassador and keep a close eye on Valen that way. In "Soul Hunter," the Soul Hunter asks Delenn why a Grey Council member would be "playing ambassador." Everybody at the station probably wasn't worried about looking up any more details on Sinclair's past once he was transferred to Minbar.

                pass the sugar!

                Joe D80:
                That post deserves to be quoted in full:
                > Why didn't Delenn tell John the truth about her trip to Minbar,
                > and won't John be slightly ticked off when he finds out the
                > truth?

                "Listen, honey, while you were out I went to the store and I bought some new candles, you know how we're always running out, and Lennier took the cat in to be cleaned, and oh, did I mention I was directly responsible for the deaths of two hundred and fifty thousand of your best friends and fellow officers? Pass the sugar."

                She'll never tell him.

                Because it's over...what would be the point, except to ruin what
                they have now.
                Emphasis added, because I think it's JMS at his best in funny irony.
                The only other person that could have told Sheridan, Lennier, left him for dead, then regreted it, then fled, before he ever thought of trying to ruin their relationship with that information.
                Such... is the respect paid to science that the most absurd opinions may become current, provided they are expressed in language, the sound of which recalls some well-known scientific phrase
                James Clerk Maxwell (1831-79)
