* FridgeBrilliance: The ObviousRulePatch to cover alien interference with the Green-Purple conflict hasn't come through, because in season 5 it's shown that in ''The Ragged Edge'' other species have come to live on their home world. Consider what it would be like to be a first generation immigrant, granted citizenship, and then told you can't vote. ''Maybe'' the bullet-headed idiots have some sense in their ranks after all..



** The comment that the ObviousRulePatch to cover alien interference with the Green-Purple conflict hasn't come through because it's caught up in committee is much funnier when it's revealed in a later season that the Drazi have been around other space-faring cultures for ''centuries''.

* {{Anvilicious}}: Not since "[[Recap/StarTrekS3E15LetThatBeYourLastBattlefield Let That Be Your Last Battlefield]]" has a science fiction show had an episode with such a heavy-handed Aesop about a SillyReasonForWar. Creator/ClaudiaChristian might as well be looking at the camera when she complains about people killing each other over a piece of cloth.

** While Ivanova is held captive by the Drazi she laments being stuck with a species that speaks in macros. With the rise of social media and the ImageMacro Ivanova could just as easily be talking about humans.

** Sheridan has never seen a Technomage before, and guesses he may never see one again. In ''The Lost Tales'' he laments that [[CosmicPlaything they won't leave him alone]] and it's making his life hell.

** One of the worthless companies the virus invests Londo's money in is Fireflies Incorporated, which now comes off as a bit of a TakeThat at the notoriously short-lived ''Series/{{Firefly}}'', and the minor FandomRivalry it had with B5 for a while over which truly deserved to be called the better post-''Star Trek'' sci-fi show. Although ''Firefly'' premiered four years after ''Babylon 5'' ended.

** It also reveals that the incident where three techno-mages blessed the rise of the first Centauri Emperor is not looked upon with pride by the techno-mage order at all, as the three in question were power-hungry outcasts. Elric thinks of the first emperor as a "butcher" as well, having presided over the extermination of the Xon.
