Peter Jurasik (Londo Mollari) does not appear in this episode. (edit) Stephen Furst (Vir Cotto) does not appear in this episode. (edit) JMS was reportedly upset over the B5 comics printing order DC used. The story was apparently printed before it should have been. This resulted in tipping off the surprise links revealed in this episode too soon. (edit) Garibaldi's story about discovering a Shadow ship on Mars was covered in issues 5 - 8 of the original Babylon 5 comic. (edit)

Sheridan: ... and right now, more than anything else in the world I wish it would rain. Just for a little while. (edit) Marcus: There is always the threat of an attack by, say, a giant space dragon, that kind that eats the sun every thirty days. It's a nuisance, but what can you expect from reptiles. (edit) G'Kar: Sometimes I even sing.
Garibaldi: I know, we got a petition.
G'Kar: For or against?
Garibaldi: : Based on the sound, they think we are torturing you in here.
G'Kar: Sit down, Mr. Garibaldi. You know, a true artist is never appreciated in his time.
Garibaldi: Or his own cell block... (edit) Garibaldi: You know what they say, No good deed goes unpunished. (edit) Marcus: Did I mention that my nose is on fire? And that I have fifteen wild badgers living in my trousers? I'm sorry, would you prefer ferrets? (edit) Marcus: So, I went to the effort of preparing this chart. Now then, here's you, right here at the heart of everything and why not. And here is me. This is the captain, and here's Franklin. Here's my mom and dad. There don't actually have anything to do with it. It's a very good picture of them, don't you think?
Ivanova: Marcus...
Marcus:I actually think I have come up with a way to explain the organization structure of Babylon 5 using the Ottoman empire as a model. It gets a little confusing around this bit here, but one has to start somewhere. (edit) Delenn: In Valen's name. It's awake. (edit) Delenn: The shadow vessels use living creatures as their central core. Whoever steps inside merges with it, becomes one with the ship. After that it's fully functional. They must be sending one in right now. (edit) Marcus: And according to one of our units on the border of Centauri space, they've continued massing their fleet. We don't know why. Maybe they expect a counter attack, it's hard to say. And they have much to be concerned about. There's always the threat of an attack by say, a giant space dragon, the kind that eats the sun every thirty days. It's a nuisance, but what would you expect from reptiles. Did I mention that my nose was on fire? That I have fifteen wild badgers living in my trousers? I'm sorry, would you prefer ferrets? (edit) Sheridan: How can you sleep in these things?
Delenn: It's quite simple with proper meditation. Because we consider sleeping in horizontal to be tempting death.
Sheridan: Yeah, if I'm sleeping in this, I'm tempting fate .. all night. (edit) Dr. Mary Kirkish: Then we heard it. .. A sound that just reaches right into your brain and rips it apart... The sound of something terrible being born. (edit) Sheridan: But back home they're saying they have never seen ships like this before.
Dr. Mary Kirkish: They are lying. I was there. (edit) Dr. Mary Kirkish: Seven years ago I was stationed on Mars. We were always getting false leads on artifacts supposedly buried beneath the Martian soil for thousands of years. Nothing ever came of it. And then one day our sonic probes picked up something three hundred feet beneath the surface of Syria Planum. We didn't know what it was. Except that it wasn't a natural formation. And given its depth, it had been there at least a thousand years. It was in the middle of Martian winter, so it took weeks just to dig half of it from the ground. But that much was enough to give me nightmares for the rest of my life. It's the same ship we have been seeing on the news lately, the one that looks like it came straight from hell. (edit) G'Kar: I'm writing it all down right here.. the war, the fall of Narn, our mistakes, and what must be done to correct them. I expect to have it finished by the time I'm released. (edit) G'Kar: In here, Mr Garibaldi, you can not hide from yourself. Everything out there has only one purpose, to distract us from ourselves, what is truly important. There are no distractions in here. We can learn much from silence. (edit) G'Kar: I've taken the opportunity provided by my incarceration to meditate, to think. Sometimes, I even sing.
Garibaldi: I know, we got a petition.
G'Kar: For or against?
Garibaldi: Based on the sound, they think we are torturing you in here. (edit) ISN Broadcast: As Senate hearings into the death of President Luis Santiago enter their sixth week, evidence purporting to be from President Clark's personal physician has surfaced. These records seem to indicate that the illness which prevented President Clark from being aboard Earthforce One when it exploded may have only been a convenient alibi. Representatives for President Clark, speaking before the Senate Investigative Committee today, dismissed these latest allegations, describing them as attempts to destabilize Earth Gov from within and without. In related news, Earthdome Chief of Staff Bill Harris announced that a new alien race only recently detected may pose a significant threat to planetary security. When asked what was being done to counter this threat, Harris said only that extreme measures may be required. (edit) Sheridan: Full power! Give me everything you've got!
Lennier: If I were holding anything back I would tell you. (edit) Garibaldi: ... But where in my contract does it say that I have to eat the same food for breakfast everyday for 3 years.
Sheridan: Paragraph 47 subsection 19 clause 9A. You can find it in the Index under S.U.A.E.I.
Garibaldi: S.U.A.E.I.?
Sheridan & Ivanova: Shut Up And Eat It. (edit)

Continuity error - Marcus supplies Ivanova with Bacon and Eggs for breakfast, which she eats without passing comment on the fact that bacon is a no-no because she is Jewish! (edit) Factual Errors: There are several warnings that either weapons fire or opening a jump point inside Jupiter's atmosphere will ignite the atmospheric hydrogen. However, Jupiter has a atmosphere mainly composed of hydrogen, helium and methane. The lack of oxygen makes hydrogen ignition unlikey. (edit)

Eternal Vigilance is the Price of Freedom This Jefferson quote is repeated, ironically, by Nightwatch. (edit) Ivanova: suaei
Short form for "shut up and eat it." Word used when Ivanova got bacon and eggs from Marcus. (edit)
