• In the episode "A Spider in the Web" an agent is found to have been the dead leader of the Free Mars organization. The ones responsible for his state belong to a group that Sheridan says is named Bureau 13. A base (perhaps a headquarters) is located in the ruins of San Diego. In these ruins we find a Psi Cop who was apparently a witness to the leader's operation. At least two times in the episode the term control is mentioned. Coincidentally it is the same term used by Lyta Alexander when she returns to Babylon 5 and blows Talia's cover in "Divided Loyalties". This group also appears to be responsible for Mr. Garibaldi.

• In Minbari ceremonial meals (Lennier prepares one for Sheridan and Delenn), there is a place set aside for Valen's eventual return. If it's more than just wishful thinking, Sinclair may return.

• The first and second season introductions both have something rather interesting in them; "...a shining beacon in space, all alone in the night."
• Babylon 5 is the base of operations for the Army of Light (a shining beacon).
• Babylon 5 broke away from the Earth Alliance on April 9th, 2260. As of that time, Babylon 5 stands alone.

• Lady Morella's counsel to Londo is as follows:
1. "You must save the eye that does not see."
• I do not believe the Eye is what we all saw trying to lure the White Star in "Hour of the Wolf". It may actually refer to the Centauri Eye that Morden and associates retrieved as a 'favor' for Londo.
2. "You must not kill the one who is already dead."
• This is more than likely Sheridan. The only problem is this: If he comes back, he will not be dead, so should the warning not say "...the one who has already died?"
• A side note: Londo told Delenn and Sheridan ("War Without End pt.2") that they were his last chance for redemption. If that is true, then someone else is already dead and Londo will fail miserably. Saving Delenn and Sheridan then moves onto the #3 slot.
3. "You must surrender yourself to your greatest fear, knowing that it will destroy you."
• This is rough, but then, we see what is happening on Centauri Prime and to Londo.
• One other possibility is that Londo fears becoming Emperor, but it must happen, and we all saw that in the end it will destroy him.
Londo must complete 1 and 2. Failing that, his last chance for redemption is to complete number 3.

• Kosh's answer to the old Centauri Emperor's question "How will it end?" was "In fire." Interesting enough, that's what Emperor Cartagia told Londo when he revealed his master plan to let the Vorlons wipe out the Shadows and Centauri Prime. If both predictions were correct, then Kosh already knew of the Vorlon fleet massing and preparing for all out war, and he knew of Londo's/Centauri's dealings with Morden/Shadows, yet he still taught Sheridan.
• Earth's destruction in "The Deconstruction of Falling Stars" also fullfills the prophecy.

• Kosh's warning to Sheridan "If you go to Z'Ha'Dum, you will die." seems to be in error. Perhaps Kosh never took into consideration the flash-forward that Sheridan experienced in "War Without End" and Delenn's warning. On the other hand, perhaps everything is proceeding according to plan:
• Sheridan is warned not to go.
• Anna shows up.
• He goes to Z'Ha'Dum and survives (with Lorien's help).
• Delenn does one of the following:
• warns him in the future not to go, hoping to be successful and not go through what she's going through now (and to keep the Council united). Of course, it would also mean that Sheridan can live on for more than 20 years.
• warns him in order for him to decide to do the opposite and go to Z'Ha'Dum, in which case events are unfolding the way they always have.

• Kosh's plan was to go to Z'Ha'Dum with Sheridan in order for him to survive. We now find out that Sheridan has a 'piece' of Kosh in him (as Lyta states), and it was clearly Kosh who said "Jump! Now!" right before the White Star nuked the Shadow city, so Kosh seems to have still gone with Sheridan (albeit in a limited way).

• Lorien stated that Sheridan was dead, and that he had to find a reason to live in order to continue on. Apparently it worked, and so Sheridan will return. Did Kosh fear Sheridan would not find a reason to live and so would die? Otherwise why did he tell Sheridan he would die, knowing that Lorien would be there?
• Perhaps Kosh did not believe that Sheridan alone would be able to "...reach this far." as Lorien said.

• Lorien has told Sheridan that the Shadows' and Vorlons' mission was to keep an eye out for the younger races. The Vorlons are now destroying entire planets where Shadows are located in an effort to destroy them. This begs the question: If both sides have forgotten why they stayed behind, then why is it that the First Ones fought along side the Vorlons as little as 1000 years ago?

• Z'Ha'Dum is not the homeworld of the Shadows. Lorien does state that they return out of respect for him.

• Lorien calls Vorlons "It", not he or she (at least he calls Kosh that). Why would The First One say that?

• What was Kosh's interest in Sheridan? The new Kosh doesn't seem to share it at all.

• Now that the Vorlons have decided to start obliterating planets, a few ineteresting questions come up:
• If they destroy every planet 70 light years in every direction, would that not attract the attention of the First Ones?
• The Vorlons' acts of destruction may not be entirely evil or twisted. If they are preparing to leave (as the First Ones did millennia ago), what better way to ensure that the younger races prosper than to wipe out the Shadows?
• If Vorlons haven't died in a very long time, then perhaps this is their way of avenging Kosh's death, in lieu of their inability to obtain Kosh's "soul".

• Were Lyta's black eyes in "Hour of the Wolf" a result of using telepathy near a high concentration of Shadows or because of the new Kosh, who "seems cold, darker?"

• With Lorien being The First One, isn't it conceivable that he alone could contact the Vorlons and Shadows and tell them to get their act together? For that matter, why didn't he tell the new Kosh to get the hell off of the station?
• It's possible that he merely needed for the right person to come along (that being Sheridan).

• Why was the new Kosh so evil and/or uncaring? It seems as though, as far as Vorlons go, they're pretty peaceful and enigmatic (Kosh, the Vorlon on Minbar in "War Without End - part 1", and the two beside Sinclair/Valen on Babylon 4 in "War Without End - part 2". In fact, why did Kosh fight the new Vorlon at the end of "Falling Toward Apotheosis"?
• It's possible that Kosh truly remembered why they were there in the first place, but it's never mentioned or even hinted at.

• Sheridan has twice failed to mention a very important subject: His status with the alien races. He is revered and treated as a messiah amongst them. He's the hero of the Shadow War. Why does he not mention this to his interrogator in "Intersections in Real Time" nor to President Luchenko in "Rising Star"? Whether or not he likes his 'position' is irrelevant when considering that the aliens would probably mass an attack against Earth in order to get him back - or to avenge him.

• As unjust as it is, it was refreshing to have Sheridan be really close to being tried for treason, even though he really did do the right thing. Mr. Straczynski, my hat's off to you.

• Why was the Sun going supernova? As far as our scientific knowledge, it will never do that because of its limited mass. It will also stay relatively the same as it is today for approximately five billion more years, not one million. Now, this was not a mistake; the computer that the 'human' ranger was using did state that there were atypical solar emissions.
• It's mentioned that the Sun's going 'nova', not supernova. Unless they just decided to 'shorten' the event's name, what happened to the Sun is not an explosion that destroys most if not all of the planets, but an altogether different event. A nova can occur if one of two nearby stars (in a binary pair) acquires too much of its partner's material. After a certain point the accumulation results in an explosion, and the process begins again.

Points that are grayed out are no longer important or have been resolved.
