Mira Furlan begged Peter David to take out the scene where Delenn asks Ivanova why she's suddenly beginning to have abdominal cramps, as she felt it was very infantile humor, but David thought it was necessary to the overall story arch of Delenn's change, and a possible hint that Delenn may now be capable of bearing a human child.
Londo once nicknamed his wives: Famine, Pestilence, and Death.
Author Peter David wrote in his book "Out of the Darkness" that Timov reconciled with Londo on her deathbed.
The joke Londo is telling the crowd ("no you idiot, that's not my leg, that's my air hose!") is the same joke Max Eilerson tells the men at the bar on Ruling from the Tomb (1999).
According to writer Peter David, he struggled with writing the episode at first, and the first 2 outline drafts were rejected for being "too Star Trek". It wasn't until friend Harlan Ellison suggested him the play The Women (1939) that he got a grip on the episode, and realized what "too Star Trek" meant: "At the end of the story [...] I had restored the status quo so that all the characters were all perfectly reset in the sandbox, just like a typical Star trek episode [...]. But B5 was all about kicking over the sandbox".
By that time he had lost the assignment, so against the advice of his agent, Ellison, and friend Bill Mumy, he wrote the script anyway and submitted it to J. Michael Straczynski, who was so pleased with the result that not only bought it but gave David another episode to write.
