Babylon 5 Reaction, 3x12 "Sic Transit Vir" | Vir Gets the Spotlight

[00:00:00]Previously on Babylon 5. Password security more important than you might think. Seriously, it's really, really important to use a password manager.

[00:00:09]Anyway, Nightw Watch, they're on the way out. They're like, "Let's clean this crap out of here." And while we're doing it, let's reset the password so they can't freak us with the oie do and hop in the back door. So, they do. And then Harlon Ellison shows up and he's like, "Hey, I'm just a little guy. I'm in your computer." And and Garrett Baldi is like, "Oh god, absolutely not." Bruce, meanwhile, he's walking around with his jacket on cuz he feels weird about it.

[00:00:29]So, you know, he's walking around and this moo with a gun, he's like, "I gotta beat on him." And the guy's boss is like, "No, you're gonna get blood on his nice shirt." Anyway, that's happening.

[00:00:37]Uh Delen, she's also here. She's like, "Gosh, I really do think we should maybe have some cherry tomatoes and I could make eye contact with Brucey boy. That might be fun for everyone." Lenir, you want to do a barbec I mean, you want to do a cherry tomato rebirth ceremony?

[00:00:52]Also going on, Reea, he shows up cuz we there's not enough bad things happening in this universe. And he's hanging out with Londo. Lana's like, "Maybe stop hanging out with that creepy shadow demon goblin genie man." And he's like, "Oh, what are you going to do? You're going to poison my drink?" And Lana's like, "I'm way ahead of you." Um, what else is going on? Dylan, she's trying to get people to come to the cherry cherry tomato party. Not going so good.

[00:01:13]>> They ask you [music] how you are. You just have to say that you're fine when you're not really fine.

[00:01:17]>> She talks to Marcus about it. Marcus is like, I have to tell people secrets. I don't want to tell people secrets. Here are all my secrets right now. I have a lot of survivors guilt and I'm Gus isn't doing my voice and my brother died.

[00:01:27]Anyway, goodbye. Hey, I'm not coming to the party. She's like, gosh, that that's bad. She goes to meet her buddy, Captain Daniel. The moo from earlier jumps up and he's like, "Haha, we got him." And they do a hostage thing. And this this one the guy the moo he's he's having a time. He's like, "I really like cutting off people's toes. And then I cut off their feet and then I cut off their shins and then I cut off their knees."

[00:01:48]And JMS is like, "Cut cut." Your line was, "Let's get them. You want to take it again?" Marcus finds out about all this stuff. He just absolutely goes off, challenges some guys to punch poker, which is like strip poker, but instead of stripping, you get punched in the face by a handsome Gondorian man. Uh, Delen, meanwhile, she's rage baiting the guy with the gun. That's a choice she made. She's like, "You're a sad little man. I feel bad for you." He's like, "No, I'm a big boy. I got a big boy trauma. This is my big boy gun." Marcus figures out where they are, pulls a sneaky on him. They send Jordy Leforge down. He's like, "Cool it, Leak."

[00:02:20]Everyone runs out directly into a firefight. doesn't go so good for them.

[00:02:23]Delen gets stabbed, but it's going to be okay because later she's talking to Bruce and everybody brings her their shirt and they're like, "Ah, this is a shirt and it's better than a cherry tomato." And here everybody confesses their love, including Ivanova to Talia, which Ally perked up big time for. Uh huh. And then it turns out that it's a good thing that everyone gave the land their shirts because they go back to their room and they got cool new uniforms and they step onto the bridge and they're like, "Hell yeah. Welcome to the second half of the show. And that's it.

[00:02:56]>> Yeah, we did talk about how it's like literally >> literally the exact point of the show.

[00:03:01]>> When they get their new uniforms. It's so true.

[00:03:05]>> The Babylon podcast was our last best hope for a concise discussion.

[00:03:12]It failed.

[00:03:16]But in the year of the great tangents, it became something better.

[00:03:23]Our last best hope for clarity. [music] The year is 2026.

[00:05:50]>> You put your pants on wrong. I'm just saying. True.

[00:05:52]>> Ian, what do you do? Do you zip them fast? You fasten zipped.

[00:06:08]>> Oh, >> wait, wait, wait. What?

[00:06:11]>> You can wear one as the top and one as the fasten and zip.

[00:06:14]>> I I only have them as t-shirts. I don't have them as pants. You might have to see about getting pants.

[00:06:21][laughter] >> Just flip the shirt around. Okay.

[00:06:24]>> Well, just you know, like the thing where they tie the shirt around the waist.

[00:06:27]>> Yeah.

[00:06:53]>> Yeah, it's going to be a sick transit.

[00:06:55]And um >> I'm very concerned. Uh yeah, I'm a little worried because uh Jenny told us beforehand that this means uh this translates in English to thus passes ver and I don't like that.

[00:07:05]>> So I guess uh Jenny didn't tell us that.

[00:07:08]I looked up the original phrase because Latin is not off the table for googling.

[00:07:12]>> Anyway, >> Latin is not off the table.

[00:07:15]>> I will hit play. Yes.

[00:08:35]>> I thought this much to follow your own judgment in future.

[00:08:40]>> This guy's not as bad as most of the other ship to take to Babylon 5 as soon as you are ready to travel. I like how the throne has one pillow. You can pack.

[00:08:52]>> It's for the royal lumbar.

[00:08:53]>> I heard a new joke. [laughter] >> Then a locked room full of angry na.

[00:11:45]>> I get the test is today and I didn't >> I get that a lot.

[00:11:49]>> I get a lot of like I'm unprepared for a task and everyone's judging you. I get all the time >> or I'm trying to get somewhere and something's in my way like I can't get there.

[00:11:58]>> That means we define who we are by what we do.

[00:12:01]>> We left all as opposed to other people broke away from Earth.

[00:12:04]>> No, I already dealt with all that.

[00:12:05]>> I get that.

[00:12:28]>> He must have.

[00:12:29]>> Yeah.

[00:12:30]>> Oh, obviously >> your subconscious just needs to work it all through.

[00:12:34]>> I wish she would say that to me.

[00:12:35]>> It could be worse. You could be having dreams where [laughter] you're showing up to work naked.

[00:12:40]>> That means you're going to go crazy and kill everybody.

[00:12:45]>> That is actually the joke he made.

[00:12:46]>> Whatever it is, you want anything?

[00:12:48]>> It's absent, Bruce. [music] It's breakfast. [laughter] >> It did look like it.

[00:12:52]>> Breakfast of this crazy Bruce.

[00:12:54]>> It was absent 100%. [laughter] >> You might go blind. There's some wood alcohol in there. Like, >> careful.

[00:13:48]>> Yet you're good friends with Mr. Mortyn and Rea >> with eight legs.

[00:13:51]>> Confirmed. It's a >> like anything with eight legs.

[00:13:55]>> Do cockroaches have eight legs?

[00:13:56]>> Except for the Venzini, but only because they are terrible at cars. Something to do with compound eyes. I think >> that's really funny. Actually, >> this thing, don't hang up on me.

[00:14:07]>> That's usually what happens when you say, "Don't hang up on me."

[00:30:04]>> They're simply inferior.

[00:30:06]>> Oh my god.

[00:30:07]>> It's genetics. They're lazy.

[00:30:10]They foul their own nests. The sooner they're dealt with, the better for everyone.

[00:30:16]>> It's almost like she has a final solution.

[00:30:18]>> Any kind of trouble.

[00:30:20]>> You don't really mean that, do you?

[00:30:22]>> She's raises the squad.

[00:31:02]>> Until I remembered.

[00:31:04]>> I [clears throat] saw him on Naarna. He was in charge of culling the herds.

[00:31:08]Quite necessary for pacification. You cure future aggression by cutting out that part of the gene pool. But father's always been overly charitable.

[00:31:18]>> Okay, so she's not an opt. She's just villages where the aggression was just too genocidal.

[00:31:25]>> Take it all out.

[00:31:26]>> Not just genocidal.

[00:32:00]>> This is worse than when somebody asked me to play katan.

[00:32:02]>> Worst case scenario. This is why we don't marry someone we just met.

[00:32:06]>> Yeah. Yeah.

[00:32:07]>> That sounds fine.

[00:32:08]>> Oh, V. It's not like he's really >> That's why when people are like, I married her after a month. I'm like, >> that's the biggest gamble you could have taken with your [ __ ] life.

[00:34:22]>> Nope. That's Abraham Lingone. Beer did a very good job creating a fake bureaucrat and he's still authorized to issue travel papers. Keep him around for a while. Yeah.

[00:34:31]>> So, I added a few details, a photo. What does this have to do with your dreams?
