Thirdspace was the first of the TNT movies filmed, but the second one aired, in July 1998. As it was actually filmed in late 1997, Claudia Christian was still part of the Babylon 5 cast at the time. When it was finally aired, Claudia had been replaced in the recurring cast by Tracy Scoggins in the part of Babylon 5 Commander under Sheridan.

When they finished editing the movie for broadcast, the producers found out that they were actually a few minutes short so the elevator scene with Zack and Lyta was added.

This takes place in April 2261.

When Vir Cotto was throttling Zack Allen and the telepathic spell is broken you can see that Stephen Furst forgot to remove his wrist watch. The watch is not present on his left wrist when the fight begins, but is present at the end of the fight.

Ivanova says (on Sheridan's link) that the carbon-14 dating puts the artifact at one million years old. But carbon dating can only be done to objects on earth, as the carbon ratios in space would be vastly different and constantly changing.

The countdown timer on the nuclear bomb starts at 4:00 minutes, but then begins counting down from 4:59, 4:58, etc.

Alex: I want to thank you for your time, Miss Alexander. You are a lovely young woman. And if I was thirty younger, and you were a little blind in one eye, what a wonderful life we could have together.

Zack Allan: YOU WERE TRYING TO OPEN UP THE AIRLOCKS! NOW WHY?

Delenn: John, whenever something comes into our proximity that has to do with the unknown, your eyes light up like two tiny suns. And do you know what words these two tiny lights spell out?
