Notes
Edit
- Curiously, there are two date related continuity errors in this episode. Specifically, Lyta mentions the last time she & G'Kar sat and spoke was "Summer, 2257", when it had been previously established in ("Divided Loyalties") that Lyta came aboard "January 3, 2257" and "left about six weeks later". Secondly Garibaldi mentions that Catherine Sakai "disappeared over a year ago", which while technically correct is misleading as the events of her disappearance as depicted in ("To Dream in the City of Sorrows") take place in November 2259, fully two and a half years prior to this episode.
- The Terry Jones timeline printed in Across Time and Space, has the events occurring on July 13th - 15th, 2262.
- The I. Marc Carlson timeline has the events occurring in September.
