I still have no idea how he wound up guest-writing the episode.
As far as I recall, JMS had asked him to since season 1, and s5 was the when he had the time and space. They knew each other as comic book writers and came across as mutually admiring each other a lot back in the day.
Speaking of Knives, wasn't that the last non-JMS written B5 episode before this one? Or was that the second Peter David episode? Anyway, it still appears crazily workoholic and mysteriously efficient to me that JMS managed to write every single episode since then (and then after Day of the Dead again) in a time when seasons were still 22 episodes per season.
