Production Details
- Sheridan states Sebastian's disappearance date as 11 November 1888 after "the last of a string of murders". The "last of the string" of Ripper murder victims, Mary Jane Kelly, was slain on 9 November 1888.
- Due to a mistake in the screenplay, Sheridan remarks that Jack the Ripper committed his murders in the "West End" of London, when in fact the murders took place in the East End. After the original airing, the line was dubbed over to correct this error, and the dubbed version can be found on the DVD release. The captions have not been corrected and still refer to the "West End" of London. With reference to the gaffe, writer Straczynski has stated, "So I content myself with the notion that it's west...of B5. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go shoot myself."
- Straczynski was in part motivated to write this episode to make the Vorlons appear more morally ambiguous. He wanted to point out that people should not instantly fall for what others say they are.

Famous quotes containing the words production and/or details:
“The problem of culture is seldom grasped correctly. The goal of a culture is not the greatest possible happiness of a people, nor is it the unhindered development of all their talents; instead, culture shows itself in the correct proportion of these developments. Its aim points beyond earthly happiness: the production of great works is the aim of culture.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“Then he told the news media
the strange details of his death
and they hammered him up in the marketplace
and sold him and sold him and sold him.
My death the same.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
