I just finished reading To Dream in the City of Sorrows and then coincidentally viewed Knives on my DVD. Then a light bulb came on that has to do with the whole traveling back in time problem dealing with Sinclair. All fans have racked their brains over the problem trying to make sense of it, even as a science fiction theory. While Sinclair is on Minbar the Vorlon Ulkesh keeps lecturing Sinclair that he is an arrow and must stay on track to the target. The Vorlons know that Sinclair is Valen, and they seem to be watching over the whole process from the time of the Battle of the Line. (Perhaps even earlier.) It occurred to me while watching Knives that if an unnamed creature came through the rift in Sector 14 and returned home the same way, why couldn't the Vorlons do the same thing? By going back and forth through the rift they could oversee and control the whole Sinclair story. What do you think?
