    Okay

    I was about to give this episode an 8 (mainly because of Sheridelenn) before witnessing that obnoxious ending where one of the characters has seemingly gone from understanding the need for rebellion to outright acceptance of his dismal yet comfortable fate. Gross.

    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      "Sic Transit Vir" is Latin for "thus passes Vir." This is a variation on the phrase "sic transit gloria mundi," a phrase which appears several times in Babylon 5 continuity (including the final episode of season 4). It translates as: "thus passes the glory of the world." Also, the word "vir" in Latin means "man". So the title could also mean "thus passes (a/the) man".
    • Goofs
      When the notification goes out about the attack on Vir, the voice states that there is an "attack in process." The wording should be as an attack in "progress."
    • Quotes

      Centauri Official: Oh, I heard a new joke!

      [chuckling]

      Centauri Official: What is more dangerous than a locked room full of angry Narns?

      Vir Cotto: I don't know. What is more dangerous than a locked room full of angry Narns?

      Centauri Official: One angry Narn with a key.

      [laughs]

      Centauri Official: With a key!

      [Vir leaves, and enters his room, which is full of sinister-looking Narns.]
