'''Ivanova''': Yes I did.
'''Sheridan''': Well, I'm shocked. Shocked and dismayed. I'd remind you that we are short on supplies here. We can't afford to take perfectly good clothing and throw it out into space. Always take the jacket off first, I've told you that before. Sorry, she meant to say: "Stripped naked and thrown out an airlock." I apologize for any confusion this may have caused. }}
== This episode contains examples of: ==
* [[A Fate Worse Than Death]]: Sheridan would rather face the Vorlons and Shadows than reporters.
* [[Blatant Lies]] \ [[Malicious Slander]]: Practically everything Randall says on the air.
* [[Call Back]]: Randall calls attention to the [[Babylon 5/Recap/S02
* [[Does This Remind You of Anything?]]: A Hollywood-type producer being accused of using his medium to promote seditious and anti-Earth propaganda.
** Because [[Some Anvils Need to Be Dropped]], all the surnames listed in this sequence are those of people ruined by [[Red Scare|HUAC]].
* [[False Confession]]: The above mentioned producer. He's clearly being forced to make an admission and he looks like he been treated harshly, thin, ragged, with a dark look in his expression.
* [[Fascists' Bed Time]]: The ISN broadcast mentions that curfews are in effect all over the Earth Alliance.
* [[Idiot Ball]]: For people who have been warned that there will be a propaganda offensive against them, and who have been watching the Clark-controlled ISN for nearly a year now, the command staff and Sheridan in particular seem remarkably lacking in [[Genre Savvy|media savvy]].
* [[Longing Look]]: During their joint interview, Sheridan spends most of the time he's not talking gazing at Delenn with the dopiest, most besotted expression ever seen on a sentient being's face.
Line 18:
** [[Culture Police]]: ISN would take this role.
* [[Propaganda Machine]]: This is what ISN has become.
* [[Red Button Interactive]]: Several times a red button appears which would allow ISN viewers to download the program. Could be a case of [[Technology Marches On]] as the series was produced before there was DVR.
* [[Show Within a Show]]
* [[Thrown Out the Airlock]]: Ivanova threatens a reporter with this. Sheridan scolds her quite thoroughly for not being specific - "...sorry, she meant to say, '''Stripped naked'' and thrown out an airlock. I apologize for any confusion this may have caused.'"
