Yeah true. It should be An encounter with Eric. But i had some viewers asking for Vir so i had to name it about him;) But i couldn't leave it out anyway since it was massively important.
There is SO much more you could have shown that demonstrates Vir is "The Man". For example, the conversation he has with Mr. Morden about his head and a pike comes to mind.
Yes i could but i only showed his courage in the episode with the techno mage only The episode your refer to is in season 4 i think. And that will take me a longgg time to get there. Then i will make another Vir is the man video:)
@@JK-Visions Lol, when I said you "could" have, I didn't mean to imply you "should" have, I was merely expressing how Vir is a far more dynamic character then some give him credit for.
It's testament to Stephen Furst's performance that, in that first exchange with Londo, he hides Vir's wisdom in a sentence that - the first time you hear it - could easily be dismissed as meaningless babble. But, as it turns out, Vir is absolutely correct and Londo should have listened to him.
I think in a sense Londo knows. Vir probably reminds him of his youth when he still was innocent. He does send Vir to Minibar. And even though Vir uses his position to help thousands of Narns Londo still protects him.
Vir Cotto deserves to be Centauri Emperor after following Mollari around and got subjected to the things he has seen and done due to Mollari, Refa, Cartagia, and Morden.
Vir - Hero - A Hero is someone who is scared but does it anyway.... .... Wizards are subtle and quick to anger ... and many of them turn out to be The Doctor - Never be cruel, never be cowardly, Always try to be nice and never fail to be kind. Vir kept his promises ... Vir still honored Londo ... even in his toast in Sleeping in the Light ...
@@JK-Visions JMS is a fan of Tolkien, and knows full well the Hero is Samwise, a simple Gardner, who said he would go with Frodo out of loyalty and duty, but tried to do the right thing - and ended up as Mayor of Michel Delving ... I suspect he would have understood Emperor Vir
Londo knew Vir was right but he already knew what he was going to do. He wanted power and already started down the path there was no turning back for Londo.
I was watching a tribute to Tim Conway. Think of the possibilities of Vir, Besler, and Tim Conway in anything like a cargo ship with Marcus and Franklin.
Interesting that when he first enters he says his name is Vir Cotto, pronouncing it like Cot-Oh the "cot" part like the thing you sleep on. Then when the creature arrives he keeps saying his name is Vir-Cotto pronouncing it Coat-oh, the "cot" part now like the thing you wear in the winter.
Technomages with their special skills coukd have been the great allies to fight the shadows Yes, they had chosen to run and hide like cowards. Rather irresponsible for an advanced people.
Have you seen a lost Rancor🙄
I never made the connection between the two _monsters_ before watching this video...😊
This was my first thought when seeing this!
Yes, I was thinking, wrong movie.
It was a joke edited in the video. The technomage created a rancor from StarWars in my opinion;)
Stephen Furst was a brilliant, brilliant actor. He had the best timing I've ever seen. RIP. Sadly, sadly RIP.
"I see a great hand, *reaching* from star. I hear millions of people screaming your name."
"My followers?"
"Your victims."

one of most memorable moments in series
reaching from AFAR. Not star.

@@JK-Visions Yet the thumbnail you posted is when Vir was waving at Morden's disembodied head.
@@JK-VisionsNo, the initial conversion he had on Babylon 5. Maybe second season, might even have been first.
Never mind the fact that he ran an Underground Railroad at B5. Vir is acting a buffoon but is actually quite brave and honorable.

Elric has read Tolkien...

He actually becomes the emperor in the 3 books following season 5;)
@@JK-Visions Vir is shown in his Emperor uniform in B5 episode Living in Starlight at Sheridan's dinner party.
@@JK-Visions that’s if you ignore him clearly wearing the imperial seal in the finale 🙄 you can’t get much clearer than that
@@bostonrailfan2427 HOLY C--P ! This seems like ages ago. Vir made his OWN mark. " I work for Ambassador Mollari " - A class in patience, yes ?
Stephen Furst was great in Animal House and St. Elsewhere too. He has natural comedic timing.
Never seen it. Thank for the tips. I will check some episodes out some time.
Sadly, he *had* natural comedic timing. RIP
@@odysseusrex5908 he too has joined the other co stars, beyond the rim.

He is actually the hero of the story. In the books it will be even more clear.

Moon faced assassin of joy! Lol

Tim Conway was awesome! 😅😂🤣
Vir was my favourite character on babylon5
It is difficult to pick one but Vir was the most underdog of them all and rose above it.
More Vir coming up soon:)
Yes I love him, cute cuddly space goth!
@@SerenaBlackCat Vir certainly is.
Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons. For you are crunchy and go good with ketchup.
Fabulous comment!!
Vir is the man for me
This episode ROCKS.. Vir rules.
Vir is completely right, at the start, about how the plot works. How J.M.Strazinsky the writer works.
"May I please have 10,000 marbles?"😅
I didn't catch that Tolkien reference at the time!
I am not sure I read the books at the time.But the whole B5 story is about slaying the darkness;)
The B5 story is based on LOTR lore.
Thank you!
I approve the title of this post.
Thanks!
He was spot on at first…e deep being true for Londo.
If he listened to Vir he would have been a lot happier;)
Interesting that when he first enters he says his name is Vir Cotto, pronouncing it like Cot-Oh the "cot" part like the thing you sleep on. Then when the creature arrives he keeps saying his name is Vir-Cotto pronouncing it Coat-oh, the "cot" part now like the thing you wear in the winter.
He tries to come across confident. I guess his pronunciation of his last name reflects this. Nice catch!
spoiler saddly vir cotto became importer of a dead world i believe after londo was killed.

I think their tech was not sufficient enough. Mostly tricks of light and shadow.
@JK-Visions Galen had proved to very helpful.
It is said they were the result of a super soldier program run by the shadows
