Michael Garibaldi: [voiceover] The Interstellar Alliance, based on the Homeworld of the Minbari Federation, was founded in the Earth year 2261 shortly after the end of the Shadow War, 20 years ago. Twenty years of history. Those of us who survived have seen it all and those of us who understand have been waiting and dreading the arrival of this day.
Susan Ivanova: Babylon 5 was the last of the Babylon stations. There would never be another. It changed the future and it changed us. It taught us that we have to create the future or others will do it for us. It showed us that we have to care for one another, because if we don't, who will? And that true strength sometimes comes from the most unlikely places. Mostly, though, I think it gave us hope, that there can always be new beginnings. Even for people like us.
Susan Ivanova: As for Delenn, every morning for as long as she lived, Delenn got up before dawn and watched the sun come up.
ISN newscaster: And now, for those of you that have been archiving this ISN Special Documentary, the people responsible.

Trivia
- The toast to absent friends mentions those who have died. They were: G'Kar and Londo, who killed each other due to Drakh influence; Lennier, who was killed in action during the Telepath War; and Marcus Cole, who gave his life so that Susan Ivanova could live.
- When the maintenance worker (executive producer, J. Michael Straczynski) shut down the lights, everyone on the set was in tears.
- When Zack Allan (Jeff Conaway) is talking about the trials they went through on Babylon 5, the words are actually executive producer, J. Michael Straczynski's own thoughts. Straczynski did indeed think, at times, that no one would get out alive.
- In a deleted scene, Ivanova is shown looking over some items in her office before departing for Minbar, including her old Starfury helmet, and Marcus's fighting pike, which she has held onto for 20 years.
- Last show of the series.
