Notes

add »
This episode begins a streak of fifty six straight episodes written by Joe Straczynski (edit)
When Sheridan is talking in his sleep, he says: "In Memory of The Nine and The One". I assume he is referring to the Grey Council and Valen? (edit)

Quotes

Delenn: Don't look away, Captain. All life is transitory ... a dream. We all come together in the same place at the end of time. If I don't see you again here, I will see you in a little while in a place where no shadows fall. (edit)

Allusions

There are numerous references to the Passover story in the Old Testament. The Minbari meal has numerous similarities to a Passover Sedar, notably the importance of which order of foods eaten in and the setting aside of a place for a spiritual figure. This occurs during a massive plague that another group prays will "pass over" them. (edit)
