Notes

add »
Date stamp: July 3, 2260 (edit)
Referring to the "bug" in Londo's room: Since he said it has eight legs, it probably is not a bug or an insect, but an arachnide. Insects, also called hexapoda, have only six legs, while arachnides (spiders, scorpions, mites etc.) have eight legs. (edit)
The title of this episode is a pun in Latin - it translates to "thus passes man", but the last word can also refer to Vir Cotto who has a central role in this episode. (edit)

Quotes

Sheridan: [at dinner]: I hope that's the right kind of table. I don't do much entertaining here. I usually just grab a bite on my way in.
Delenn: It's fine, I didn't come for the decor.
Sheridan: Well, I hope you didn't come for the cuisine either, ... because unlike Mr. Garibaldi, I am not exactly a gourmet cook. But, what I lack in finesse, I make up in proportions! Barely eatable - but lots of it! (edit)
Vir: If kisses could kill, that one would have flatten several small towns. (edit)
Ivanova: And to tell you the truth ... I hate to say this, but ... I think I really enjoy being a sneak.
Sheridan: Then I hereby appoint you the official Babylon 5 sneak in residence.
Ivanova: Oh, thank you.
Sheridan: Now get the hell out of my chair.
Ivanova: Yes, sir. (edit)
Vir: Back home nobody cares about dead Narns, only living ones. (edit)
Ivanova: All I can say is that enthusiasm, sincerity, genuine compassion, and humor can carry you through any .. lack of .. prior experience with ... high numerical value.
Vir: Wow, I'm gonna remember that. Thank you, thank you. (edit)

When Vir says "My only regret is that I could not have saved more", that is obviously a nod to Schindler's statement: "I could have saved one more." (edit)
