Notes

add »
Ivanova calls for Major Atumbe to take over when she leaves C&C. Atumbe was the off-shift commander, rarely mentioned but never seen. Straczynski occasionally considered introduced the character on-screen, but gave it up as he felt it felt forced to bring in yet another recurring character. (edit)
The original promo for "Eyes" shown at the end of "Grail" put together by the network was unrecognizable to show creater, J. Michael Straczynski. He said, "I have no idea what it has to do with the episode. Sometimes they "enhance" the story to make it promote-able... but I think this time they "enhanced" it right into a parallel dimension..." (edit)
Accordin to J. Michael Straczynski, "ben-Zayn" is to be understood as a Middle Eastern or Arabic name. (edit)
The motorcycle in the episode was a Kawasaki "Ninja" the choice was suggested by Jerry Doyle who is a motorcycle enthusiast. Kawasaki loaned the bike, but paid no promotional fee. (edit)
Macauley Bruton who plays one of the masked men in Ivanova's dream returns in the episodes "Mind War," "Chrysalis, " and "And the Sky Full of Stars" as Garibaldi's aide. (edit)
Jeffrey Combs from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine has a guest appearance (edit)

Quotes

Lennier: When may I begin the work again?
Garibaldi [sotto voce]: If I kill him, that would start a war… (edit)
Ivanova: Mr. Gray, I'm grateful the Psi Corps give you purpose in life, but when that purpose includes scanning my mind to prove my loyalty, it's not only an invasion of my privacy, but my honor. As for fear, if you enter my mind for any reason I will twist your head off and use it for a chamber pot. If you'll excuse me. (edit)
Garibaldi: Protests are as much useful with the Vorlons as fairie-wings on a cement-truck. (edit)
Garibaldi: If I knew who God was, I would thank her. (edit)
Harriman Gray [to Ivanova]: You're very charming...in an odd sort of way. (edit)
Sinclair: Enough people have played with my brain already this year. (edit)
Garibaldi: You're starting to irritate me, Mr. Franks, and I don't like being irritated. It gives me gas. (edit)
