(edit) One of the Earth Alliance cruisers in the Prometheus convoy is the Hyperion (last seen in "A Voice in the Wilderness (2)"). According to Co-Producer George Johnsen, this was intended to suggest that the Hyperion escaped from the Minbari counter-attack after the Prometheus incident. (edit)

Zack: Oh yeah, I should listen to a Minbari about fashion. I mean, robes? Hoods? No offense, but I've seen Vorlons with more fashion sense.
[The Minbari seamstress stabs Zack with the needle.]
Zack: Ow! She did that on purpose!
Lennier: Yes, I believe she did. I will deal with this.
Lennier: [in Minbari] Good work. Give me a moment with the Human, and next time... use a bigger needle.
Zack: Yeah, and don't you forget it! (edit) Lennier: Then it was your order that began our war with the humans.
Delenn: Yes. The council was divided. Mine was the deciding vote. They killed Dukhat. I was furious. I never knew I was capable of such rage. All I could see was death.
Lennier: Is this what you were afraid I would see? Then you were not thinking clearly Delenn. The fault is not yours. The humans misinterpreted the gesture of respect. They thought it to be a prelude to attack. You were...
Delenn: The one who gave the order. (edit) Franklin: Marcus, this is the kind of conversation that can only end in a gunshot. (edit) Lennier: The guards resisted at first. The Grey council is suspended, but the security remains. I managed to explain matters to them. They will recover.. in time. (edit) Dukhat: There was a purpose in my selection. Your heritage.. You are a child of Valen. (edit)

Factual Error: Marcus misquotes the song "I Am the Very Model of a Modern Major General." He says, "quote the facts historical," when the original lyrics are, "quote the fights historical." (edit) Continuity: During the conference scene between Sheridan, Franklin, and Marcus, Franklin is reading over his documents with the folder flat on Sheridan's desk. When the view shifts, however, Franklin is holding the folder. (edit) Revealing Mistake: The ship carrying Franklin and Marcus to Mars supposedly has zero gravity. Exterior shots of the ship show its engines firing. The resulting acceleration would have pushed everything in the cargo bay toward the back wall. One possible explanation for this, however, is that the ship's engines were not firing, but rather were glowing because they were in some sort of stand-by mode. (edit)

Sheridan: Whatever you see in a face mashed against a pillow and drooling, I don't know, but I try not to be judgmental about alien cultures, when they are dressed like that.
This line is based on a message from the newsgroup rec.arts.sf.tv.babylon5.moderated which was commenting on a Minbari tradition introduced in "Shadow Dancing". (edit) Dukhat: Of the family of Mir.
Delenn's Family Name is Mir. This may be a reference to Mira Furlan's first name. It may also be a reference to the russian Mir (which means peace).. Delenn has always been a peacemaker of sorts.
