Notes

add »
Sheridan's statement that Coventry was destroyed on the 14th November 1940 is something of an exaggeration. The city suffered heavy damage from German bombers with most of the city centre and numerous amunitions factories destroyed. Most famously the city's Cathedral, built in the 1300s, was burnt by incendiary devices and left in ruins (which still stand). The city was not however destroyed. (edit)
What really happened to the Icarus is covered in the novel "The Shadow Within" by Jeanne Cavelos. (edit)

Quotes

Kosh: If you go to Z'Ha'Dum, you will die.
Sheridan: I die. But I will not go down easily and I will not go down alone. (edit)
Morden: What do you want?
Vir: I'd like to live just long enough to be there when they cut off your head and stick it on a pike as a warning to the next 10 generations that some favors come with too high a price. I want to look up into your lifeless eyes and wave like this [waves at Morden]. Can you and your associates arrange that for me Mr. Morden? (edit)
