We saw Sinclair making brave decisions that really made the audience feel good. Like the way he handled the strike, for instance. But the decisions he made were not ones that would be appreciated by his superiors, certainly weren't in the spirit of his orders, and could even be considered insubordinate. And that *did* come back to haunt him.<br /><br />Of course, nothing compares to the time Sheridan was ordered to apologize for defending a Narn ship from a Centauri ship at a politically sensitive time. <img src="/images/icons/tongue.gif" /> It's really too bad he didn't get to actually give that speech. (Which would also have come back to haunt him, no doubt.)<br /><br />And then there's Londo. On a lesser series, he would've been completely redeemed and been able to live happily ever after. In B5, he is redeemed and at the same time condemend to a lifetime of horrible slavery. And that's a direct consequence of his actions. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p> </p><p><font color="#666699"><em>"People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but actually from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint it's more like a big ball of wibbly wobbly . . . timey wimey . . . stuff."</em> -- The Tenth Doctor, "Blink"</font></p> </div>
