Memorable quotes

“

"What do I hope for? I hope to get through this interview without getting fired, how's that for a start?"

– Michael Garibaldi

Continuity

  • The Narn-Centauri War continues to go badly for the Narn Regime. According to ISN, the Narns have lost six of the previous seven major engagements.
  • Interplanetary Expeditions, which is shown to be one of the segment's sponsors, had previously been mentioned in ("Infection") as financing expeditions to worlds along the Rim, including Ikarra VII. At the time Franklin was unable to find any information on them, so it appears they have since begun to foster a public image.
  • David Corwin, a recurring character since "Signs and Portents," is finally given a name and rank (Second Lieutenant).
  • References are made to the Minbari Assassin, his activities, and repercussions (e.g. a bomb that blows out two levels and a near attack by the Vorlon Empire, (as seen in "The Gathering").
  • Eduardo Delvientos makes a brief reappearance, his first and only since ("By Any Means Necessary") where he is interviewed as a member of the Dockers Guild and makes reference to the strike over budget cuts during the previous year.
  • President Morgan Clark is said to have risen in popularity, having set his policies on focusing more on the needs of Earth, a promise he made shortly after assuming the Presidency in ("Chrysalis").
  • Senator Hidoshi is no longer a member of the Earth Senate.

Notes

  • The events depicted in this episode presumably occurred several weeks before the ISN broadcast. The broadcast would occur after both "Knives" and "In the Shadow of Z'ha'dum."
  • Near the end of the Psi Corp commercial, something flickers across the screen. If you blink then you will probably miss it. Pause at the moment when it comes up, and it reveals a subliminal message in the commercial. The message? "The Psi Corp is your friend. Trust the Corp."
