Oh, that video is heart-breaking! I've been trying to find footage of Andreas online and it's so rare as to be almost non-existent. Same for Michael and Rick. Whatever isn't on the show is missing. And for Andreas, I can't even find any interviews, which is especially sad.
Re: John/Delenn - honestly, I find it so rare for there to be happily married, respectful couples on screen that I grow more and more appreciative of them. J/D and Jed/Abby from The West Wing are the only ones that spring to mind! (And both have the spectre of early death hanging over them.)
Re: Home Guard, honestly, the rise of the far right is so spot on in the show that when we look around and see it happening it makes you realise how slowly and how gradually everything has been sliding to the right. In Voices of Authority, when Julie Musante says that the homeless don't exist and the newbie who was watching was like "OMG what did they do to them???" And then when Musante said that this was because they re-wrote the dictionary and definition of homelessness, she had a moment when she thought "oh that's ok, that's just what we do - WAIT WHAT OH SHIT."
Some of it is so gradual and hidden that you don't realise what it adds up to.
