In this TV-movie, Robin Sachs plays Coplann, a member of the Minbari Grey Council. In an episode of Star Trek: Voyager, Sachs plays an alien named Valen. In Babylon 5, Valen is the name of the Minbari holy figure who originally formed the Council. (edit) Robin Atkin Downes, who plays Morann in this movie and in the season 4 episode Atonement, is probably better known as the rogue telepath leader Byron, who features prominently in Babylon 5's season 5. (edit) Several scenes in the movie were taken from previous Babylon 5 episodes. (edit) Claudia Christian makes an uncredited appearance as an eighteen year old Susan Ivanova. (edit)

[about the Humans]
Delenn: They fight bravely. They cannot harm our ships, but they continue to try.
Coplann: Whether they fight or not, they know they will die anyway. So really, is this bravery or simple desperation? (edit) General Fontaine: We've heard that certain elements of their government want a meeting to discuss finding a way out of this war that doesn't involve the annihilation of Earth.
G'Kar: Most progressive of them. (edit) Delenn: Are you there?
Kosh: We have always been here. (edit) Luc: Are you really the Emperor?
Londo: I sometimes ask myself the same question. Yes, I'm the Emperor. Here, you see? This is the seal of the Centauri Republic. Only the Emperor can wear it. So either I am the Emperor, or I am in a great deal of trouble. Or both. Come here. you.
[Londo hangs the seal around the neck of Luc]
Londo: For the next five minutes you are the Emperor. You may give one order, any order you desire. Make it a good one. What do you want?
Luc: Tell me a story.
Londo: You did far better with that question then I did. (edit) General Lefcourt: We took care of the Dilgar, we can take care of the Minbari.
Londo: Ah, arrogance and stupidity all in the same package. How efficient of you. (edit)

The character of Coplann, played by Robin Sachs, is named Hedronn in the Babylon 5 series. (edit) When Sheridan, Franklin and G'Kar are captured by the Minbari, Sheridan is punched by a guard and his rank pin is crooked. In the next shot, his pin is suddenly straight. (edit) During the "ambush" scene, a Star Fury and a Dreadnaught suddenly disappear as the jump point opens on a heavy cruiser. (edit)
