Originally, it was planned to reveal at the end of this, the final episode that the whole Babylon 5 series was a dramatization of the actual events of 2257 - 2281 made in the year 2295. (edit) Shooting for this episode ended on May 5, 1997, but it aired in the U.S. over a year later on November 25, 1998. This occurred because Babylon 5's fifth season was in doubt so J. Michael Straczynski filmed the last episode just in case. It was originally shot during the fourth-season and given a production number 422. When Babylon 5 got a fifth season on another network, TNT, this episode was given production number 523. (edit) At the very end credits, when Marcus is displayed, the screen on the right hand side reads:
SUBJECT: Marcus Cole
DESIGNATION: Ranger
STATUS: Deceased
COMMENTS: Indefinite Hold in the Event of New Resuscitation Technology
REQUESTED BY: Cmdr. S. Ivanova (edit) Several Babylon staff had cameo appearances in this episode. They include producer John Copeland, co-producer George Johnsen, and series creator J. Michael Straczynski who makes a cameo appearance as the maintenance worker who shuts down the station. (edit) Because of the uncertainty of whether Babylon 5 would be renewed for a fifth season, this episode shot at the end of the fourth season so the series would have some closure. But when the series was renewed, Deconstruction of Falling Stars was shot and replaced it as the final episode of season four. (edit)

Sheridan: There is still so much that I don't understand.
Lorien: As it should be. (edit) Sheridan: Good night, my love, the brightest star in my sky.
Delenn: Good night, you, my sky, and my sun, and my moon. (edit) Sheridan: I just want to sit here, and watch the sun come up. It occured to me, that in all my time here, I have never done that. I want to know what it looks like when it comes up over the horizion, so I can carry a picture of it in my head. (edit) Sheridan: When I was a kid, every Sunday dad would take us out for a drive. We never knew where we were going, that was half the fun. We'd just go. He'd say, pick a direction and one of us would point, off we'd go. (edit) Delenn: I decided to go out in search of the same air molecules you were looking for. In the theory that if they were good enough to lure you out of our bed, I should invesigate my competition!
Sheridan: You've never had competition. (edit)

The ship Sheridan uses to get to the rim appears to be a new class of white star. The ship seems fully automated and can function with one pilot simply giving voice commands. (edit)

When Sheridan leans in to check his reflection in the mirror, the reflection gives the appearance of a cross over his shoulder, an allusion to the New Testament. (edit)
