As indicated by the production codes, this episode, "Soul Mates," was supposed to air after the next episode, "A Race Through Dark Places." There are several subtle plot points that indicate the correct order. For the UK video release, the episodes were swapped to the correct order. (edit) Director John Flinn and writer Peter David both make cameo appearances. Flinn plays "Mr. Flinn," the descendent of an abductee victim who is trying to sue the aliens responsible (he previously played the same role in "Grail" in season 1). Peter David is a guest at Londo's party - he can be seen talking with Delenn and Lennier. (edit) In the episode "War Prayer", London described his three wives as "famine, pestilence, and death". Famine corresponds to Timov who is emotionally undernourished. (The name "Timov" is "vomit" spelled backwards, a joke by writer Peter David. Jane Carr who played Timov didn't make the connection until halfway through filming when someone pointed it out to her). Pestilence corresponds to Daggair because she was like a disease. Death corresponds to Mariel - her angelic sounding name is the perfect counterbalance to her personification of death. Londo himself, as becomes clear later in the series, represents War, the last Horseman. (edit)

At the beginning of the episode:
Vir: It is a pleasure to meet you. It is a pleasure to meet you. It is a pleasure to meet you.

In the end:
Vir: Ladies, it's been a pleasure meeting you.

(edit) Timov: I will take no part in these sexual olympics.
Londo: Timov, they are just expressing their feelings for me.
Timov: Well, I can do that. (slaps him across the face) (edit) Timov: The secret of our marriage's success, Londo, is our lack of communication. (edit) Delenn: [to Ivanova] Do you have any idea why I suddenly started getting these odd cramps...? (edit) Matthew Stoner: [to Garibaldi] Hey, how about I call you an idiot in public and you can convict me for revealing state secrets? (edit)

Continuity: In the last episode Talia talks about Psi-corps mentoring program. In that episode her mentor was Abby. In this one it's Matt. Did she fail her first year and have to get a new mentor? Or how does that work (edit) Plot Hole: Given what we learn about Talia in "Divided Loyalties," why does Psi Corps send Stoner to recover Talia? They can get her to come back any time they want. (edit) Continuity: In the first season episode "The War Prayer," we saw a photograph of Londo's three wives. They look nothing like the wives seen here. (edit) Continuity: Although it's established Babylon 5 doors close after a person passes through them, when Timov leaves the MedLab it stays open so we can see her walk dramatically away. (edit)
