YMMV / Babylon Five S 05 E 08 Day Of The Dead

• Harsher in Hindsight: Lochley's childhood friend Zoe dying by overdose at a fairly young age, ending what was clearly a rough life, is what inspired her to get her life back on track and enroll in Earthforce. While the choice of name was most likely just a coincidence on scriptwriter Neil Gaiman's part, cult actress and writer Zoë Lund would die in this exact manner the following year at the relatively young age of 37 after having lived a thoroughly miserable life. Adding to the eerie coincidence, Lund had previously made a brief appearance alongside Penn Jillette in the Miami Vice episode "The Prodigal Son".
• Humor Dissonance: Apparently, broad humor is back in style in the 23rd century. It's not universal, though; several aliens don't find their antics funny (though their style eventually grows on Londo), and even some humans (such as Lochley) find it irritating. Word of God is that this was completely deliberate, and a Take That! to Catchphrase-oriented comedians who JMS has always hated. Before Gaiman included them in this script, the original idea for Rebo and Zooty was that we would never hear any of their material other than the catchphrases, out of context.
