  • When talking privately with the Drazi, Brakiri and Gaim Ambassadors, there's one shot of Sheridan and Delenn in which one of the lights of the wall beside Sheridan goes off for a few seconds. edit »
  • Continuity: Some of the telepaths shown siding with Byron in this episode were among the group who had split from his non-violent ideology in the previous episode. edit »
  • The working title of this episode was "Cat and Mouse." Producer J. Michael Straczynski used it in order to avoid the title spoiling the plot of the episode. edit »
  • Na'Toth was recast in season two because Julie Caitlin Brown didn't feel comfortable with being in prosthetics on a regular basis. But the character was then dropped shortly afterwards because the producers felt the role didn't work with the new actress. They therefore brought Brown back for this episode. edit »
  • Na'toth: For I will kill you at the very first opportunity.
    Londo: Yes, I suspect you have to get in line for that honor. edit »
  • Londo: Khrm
    G'Kar: It's ... animal magnetism, what can I say? edit »
  • Zach [to Lochley]: They have other ways to slow us down. edit »
  • Drazi: Every great fall begins with a single mistake. edit »
  • Bester [to Lochley] : I'll do whatever I can not to hurt them. You forget: we are more same than different. We are all telepaths and we are all on this together. edit »
