1. Were you suspicious of Vance Hendricks from the beginning?

It's been some years since I first watched the show, so in some ways I feel like I'm watching it for the first time. He did seem shifty from the start. Plus, taking out the custom guard was a giveaway that something was going on.

2. Do you think this one was actually a sign of things to come or do you think it was less deliberate than that and only afterward did JMS connect it in some way to the things that occur down the line?

I'll probably remember, once I watch later eps!

3. Why do you think Sinclair does what he does? Heroism? Something darker? I understand what Garibaldi was saying to him about guys coming back from war who lack that larger sense of purpose when they return to normal life. But I'm not sure that would necessarily apply here. He does have a larger purpose in his work. It's not always as dangerous as being in the middle of a war, but it sometimes is ( ... )

In regards to being obsessed with the enemy, I do think it can be a danger, to be so obsessed that one is ready to commit evil in the name of good and right.

An example I can think of is the Interment camps for Japanese Americans during WWII. The govenrment became so obsessed with the enemy that they imprisoned American citizens without any due process at all.

Well, even that does not mean that we became like the enemy. It's not like we were throwing them into ovens!
