Added DiffLines:

* DenserAndWackier: The movie leans a lot more on slapstick and sillier humor than the original series.


Added DiffLines:

* EarnYourHappyEnding: Two examples.
** [[spoiler: The primary timeline Delenn manages to save her Sheridan and return him home.]]
** [[spoiler: After skipping through the timestream and accidentally created a series of alternate realities, one of which where the Shadows attack early and the Vorlons lose the Shadow War, Sheridan's actions lead him to a timeline where the Shadows have not awakened yet. Without their influence, the timeline is without the conflict and strife that led to the original Shadow War. Sheridan is still commander of B5 with the implication he will once again start a romance wit Delenn. Commander Sinclair has not been reassigned to Mimbar. And even Londo and G'Kar, although still at odds, are on more amicable terms.]]

* AllianceOfAlternates: Zathras has hundreds of copies of himself at the Great Machine, and can communicate with versions of himself across timelines through quantum communication.

* AllianceOfAlternates: Zathras has hundreds of copies of himself at the Great Machine, and can communicate with versions of himself across timelines through quantum communication. When Sheridan sees many of the copies greeting him and Lochley he almost wants to be put out of his misery.



* ColonyDrop: In the timeline where the Shadows won the war, the Vorlons decide to destroy Earth. However, because it's a fairly large planet, instead of using their planet buster directly, they use it to push the moon out of orbit and into Earth, achieving the same effect with less energy expenditure.

* NeverShallTheSelvesMeet: Averted. When Sheridan hops into the future, Franklin advises against Sheridan contacting his future self for timeline reasons, but Sheridan is actually dead at this point in the timeline and Franklin just didn't have the heart to tell him. Sheridan later meets an alternate version of himself with no issue, even though his timeline-hopping is dangerous on a universal scale.

* ForWantOfANail: In the final timeline, the Shadow War never happened because Interplanetary Expeditions went bankrupt before the ''Icarus'' expedition could even happen, leaving the Shadows dormant for the foreseeable future. Sheridan wisely thinks better of telling his counterpart where to look.

** The alternate timeline where the Shadows assault a Sinclair-led B5 is more or less a variation of the bad future from "[[Recap/BabylonFiveS01E20BabylonSquared Babylon Squared]]" and "[[Recap/BabylonFiveS03E16WarWithoutEndPart1 War With]][[Recap/BabylonFiveS03E17WarWithoutEndPart2 out End]]", namely Garibaldi and Sinclair fighting the Shadows to trigger the station's self destruct and Ivanova sending a distress call that's nigh identical to the one in the latter two-parter.
