Trivia

add »
nit pick: Dr. Franklin tells Sheridan that dead bodies can build up deposit of gas that can cause them make noise or move. This must still be happening since the "dead" alien lying on the table is obviously breathing. (edit)
At the end of the sword duel with Urza, Mollari has the sword in his right hand. When he gets headbutted he falls down and the swords falls down left of him. When Urza goes for the death blow, Londo grabs the sword with his right hand, apparently from his right side. (edit)
At the beginning, Sheridan plays Baseball. It would be difficult to play baseball in a space station that generates gravity by rotation, since the Coriolis effect would cause high played balls to land on the "ceiling" (edit)
In the final shot of the station, empty space can be seen through Babylon 5's docking bay. (edit)

"Revealing"
What I found to be the most interesting part of this episode is that Londo appears to know the path he walks is wrong, yet continues due to his belief in fate and destiny.
