A Distant Star - S2-E4

Continuity mistake: When Cortez is coming through the B5 gate, you can see it open on the monitor behind the officer announcing Cortez' arrival in C&C. In the next cut you see the gate open again. (00:01:10)

GROPOS - S2-E10

No Compromises - S5-E1

Continuity mistake: At the security meeting, just as Captain Lochley is saying "I agree with Sheridan", she is shown in a long shot uncrossing her arms and starting to move forward. The camera goes to a close-up of her, and she once again is shown uncrossing her arms and starting to walk forward.

Twotall

Strange Relations - S5-E6

Continuity mistake: The ship that's supposed to transport Londo Mollari home changes ship class. Before the explosion, it's a Primus class battle cruiser. The wreckage shown afterwards is of a Vorchan class medium warship.

In the Kingdom of the Blind - S5-E9

Continuity mistake: On Centauri Prime, Londo has an audience with the demented Regent. In the initial shot, the babbling Regent holds both hands up near his face as he speaks. In the very next, reverse-angle shot, his hands are down at his sides. When it cuts back, his hands are up again. (00:36:30)
