My youngest daughter's middle name is Delenn. Yeah, I named my kid after an alien on a sci-fi show. Because Delenn is Just That Awesome.
Your post makes me want to re-watch the whole thing over again. The show wasn't perfect, but it had so, so much good stuff to it, and so many good characters, with actual development and arcs and...basically, everything you've said here. YES.
Re the special effects, I remember when I got my DVDs I was horrified. I'd remembered the effects as being MUCH better when the shows were broadcast, and I couldn't believe my memory had been that bad. I found out later that they were better in broadcast format than on DVD. There's some technical info, for anyone interested in that kind of thing, here.
