Line 5:
* [[Artifact of Doom]]
* [[Bigger Bad|Bigger Bads]]: The Thirdspace insectoids. The Vorlons are terrified of them, which is about all you need to know.
* [[Brainwashed and Crazy]]: Eventually happens to most of the station.
** Not even the Vorlons were immune. The thing was taken by those that had been taken over by the aliens.
* [[Break the Haughty]]: The Vorlons
* [[Continuity Snarl]]: This film simply does not fit anywhere in the show, continuity-wise, which is unusual for a [[Myth Arc]] show like ''[[Babylon 5]]''. Various issues include the presence and absence of particular characters, Zack Allen's wearing of the new uniform, and the destruction of an entire fighter squadron just not lining up at all in the relatively narrow space of episodes in the fourth season that the film is supposed to fit into, between the Shadow War and the Earth Alliance Civil War.
** The best-known B5 fan site, the [http://www.midwinter.com/lurk/guide/112.html#AN Lurker's Guide to Babylon 5], places it ''during'' the episode ''[[Babylon 5/Recap/S04 /E09 Atonement|Atonement]]''. And even that is problematic - Vir states that Londo is back on Centauri Prime, but he doesn't seem to have left the station since ''[[Babylon 5/Recap/S04 /E08 The Illusion of Truth|The Illusion of Truth]]''.
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: Commander Ivanova.
* [[Deflector Shields]]: The Artifact, when activated, is protected by a nigh-impervious shield. Ditto for {{spoiler|the ships that begin to exit from it.}}
* [[Evil Tower of Ominousness]]: Thirdspace.
* [[Fling a Light Into Thethe Future]]: This is apparently part of Lyta's function should the younger races encounter anything the Vorlons accidentally left behind.
* [[Immune to Bullets]]: The scout ships used by {{spoiler|the Thirdspace Aliens}} are impervious to the weapons mounted on [[Space Fighter|Starfuries]], {{spoiler|thanks to their [[Deflector Shields]].}}
* [[Jews Love to Argue]]: The Rosen brothers. They've been at it for ten years.
Line 24:
** And of course, our heroes found it and brought it home with them.
* [[Pride]]: The Vorlons, speaking through Lyta, admit this as the cause. They began to believe those who thought they [[A God Am I|were gods]].
* [[Reality Warper]]: The artifact begins affecting minds and draining power as soon as it enters Babylon 5 space, and that's before it's even turned on.
* [[Recycled in Space]]: Heavily inspired by [[HPH.P. Lovecraft]], [[Word of God|according to the producers.]]
* [[Sealed Evil in Aa Can]]
* [[Space Pirates]]: The Raiders, who appear in the film's intro in a dogfight with Commander Ivanova and Delta Squadron.
* [[Starfish Alien]]: The Thirdspace aliens look like...a beanbag chair on a bunch of tentacles.
** They were intentionally designed by the producers to be as alien as possible, so that the viewer would take one look at them, and decide that they looked fundamentally ''wrong'' somehow.
* [[Sufficiently Advanced Alien]]: The Thirdspace aliens are even older than the Vorlons were.
* [[You Have Got to Be Kidding Me!]]:
