- QuizWhen Stephen Furst went in to audition for Vir, he saw that everyone else in the waiting room had done their hair up into a Centauri crest; he was the only person without one. In a blind panic, he went to the bathroom and tried to use liquid soap to create a crest. When his name was called, he stumbled in, with a disheveled, lopsided crest, eyes tearing up from liquid soap running into them. He began to apologize profusely, stammering with run-on sentences. Series show runner J. Michael Straczynski and the producers looked at each other, declared "Oh my God, it's Vir!", and offered him the role on the spot.
- BlooperMultiple people state that the Vorlon's quarters contain a lethal combination of gases that would kill humans. However, no one decontaminates or changes their uniform immediately after they leave. No one even wears gloves inside, even though toxic gases could settle upon their skin, or be absorbed through it.
These gases would kill humans (or other species) *if breathed*. Not simply by exposing the skin to them.

Ambassador Vir Cotto: I'd like to live just long enough to be there when they cut off your head and stick it on a pike as a warning to the next ten generations that some favors come with too high a price. I want to look up into your lifeless eyes and wave like this.

Ambassador Vir Cotto: Can you and your associates arrange that for me, Mr. Morden?

While I could offer many accolades for this series, I will reduce it to the statement that we have never seen better or more intelligent writing on television. Period.
I'm lost lost in blind fandom. Rather, I've come to loathe the lack of intelligence used in most television programs today (largely because of the networks' catering to the lowest common denominator). This is one of the few exceptions.
It is a true shame we cannot see intelligent writing like this elsewhere in this age of miraculous special effects.
