The skeletal spines that stick out of the First Ones ship are modeled after a human foot bone arranged in rows. The ship was nicknamed "the foot bone ship" by the special effects team. (edit) The character of Julie Musante was named after two fans, Julie Helmer and Mark Musante. (edit) The First Ones of Sigma 957 were seen originally in the first season episode "Mind War." (edit)

Draal: A daring and splendid idea. In doing so, you will see things, no human has ever seen before. It will be fun. Assuming you are not vaporized, dissected, or otherwise killed in an assortment of supremely horrible and painful ways. Exciting, isn't it! (edit) Draal [stepping out of Great Machine]: Hmm, I must remember to dust myself once and while. (edit) Zack: Women like a guy who looks trim, neat. You gotta be sharp. I look like I'm wearing a circus tent. Any minute now, a little teeny car with sixteen clowns in it is coming flying out of my butt.

[Garibaldi's communicator beeps]

Garibaldi: Garibald's fashion express, go. (edit) G'Kar: I told you I could help. The Book of G'Quan. Read it. We'll talk afterwards.
Garibaldi: I don't read Narn.
G'Kar: Learn. (edit) Walkers of Sigma 957: When it is time? Come to this place. Call our name. We will be here. (edit)

Continuity: When the Dral image is talking to Ivanova about her using the machine, they are both standing right in front of it. The image disappears and Dral removes himself from the machine without even a long enough pause to stop talking. But Ivanova then comes walking up from well offscreen as though she magically moved across the room. (edit)

Julie Musante:(Minipax) rewrote the dictionary.
This is another allusion to George Orwell's 1984. In this book the ministry of truth (minitrue) controlled the media and made a new language, "newspeak." (edit) Ivanova: Good luck, Captain. I think you are about to go where everyone has gone before.
This quote by Commander Ivanova is a reference to the opening monologue of Star Trek "... to boldly go where no man has gone before." (edit)
