YOu sure aren't on your own.

I prefer Sinclair as a character, even though I started watch in in Season 3 and only got to see him as a commander much later (I did see the Valen thing quite early on though, and it only made very moderate sense at the time...).

I am glad though, that Sheridan awas written as a new character rather than just being an actor substitution.

Oh yes, definitely! That was something else that struck me as different at first viewing. They didn't just try to foist another actor playing the same character onto us but gave us a whole new character.

Considering the amount of rejigging JMS must have had to do to the plot, that was quite brave, I think.
