1x01: Midnight on the Firing Line

When the commander leaves the station before the voting, ordering her to fill in his place, Susan thinks his behaviour is childish. Like a boy, who has never fully grown up, commander Sinclair shuns the responsibility, places it in someone else's hands – in hers – and leaves into the night to play flyboy. Foolish idealist, thinks Susan as she takes her place in the council meeting room, fully conscious this one meeting, beginning with semblance of peace, could end with a war.

What Susan does not know is that her guesses are true. Despite the Minbari war, or maybe because of it, there is a place in Jeffrey Sinclair's mind where he is a young man, almost a boy still, a boy who believes in doing things the honourable way.
