Babylon 5/Recap/S04/E10 Racing Mars

"As of now I'm relieving you of command...you haven't taken any personal time in over nine months. And in that time we have broken away from Earth, fought a war, you have been declared dead at least once, and you know how tiring that can be."

- Commander Ivanova to Sheridan

-

This episode contains examples of:
"The next morning in the elevator with Sheridan and Lennier.
 * A Man Is Always Eager: Sheridan goes straight from depressed over Garibaldi and exasperated at yet another Minbari courtship ritual (out of up to fifty) to excited eagerness when Delenn tells him this one involves them "discovering each other's centers of pleasure."
 * Brick Joke: The Resistance gets Franklin and Marcus fake identicards portraying them as a young married couple. Not much is made of it for a while, then at the end Number One mentions the hotel gave them the honeymoon suite.
 * Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep": The leader of the Resistance is known only as Number One.
 * Good Old Fisticuffs: Garibaldi knocks Sheridan to the floor with one punch. Sheridan calls off security before they can do anything, saying he'll let Garibaldi have that one because of everything they've been through.
 * Hoist By His Own Petard: A more lighthearted example. When Ivanova summarily relieves Sheridan of command to give him a couple days' vacation - and bullies him into surrender - he asks her who taught her to negotiate like that. She sweetly replies that "You did."
 * Interspecies Romance: Sheridan and Delenn take another step in their relationship... one that Sheridan evidently enjoys. While members of her caste observe in the other room and pray for a good night.

Lennier aside glance: "Woo-hoo"?"

"Capt. Jack: Lyta had a little Vorlon, it's fleece was white as snow. And everywhere that Lyta went, her Vorlon was sure to go."
 * La Résistance
 * The Pope: ...is apparently female in 2261 and, Garibaldi is quick to point out, looks nothing like Sheridan.
 * Puppeteer Parasite: Capt. Jack is found to have a keeper. They shoot off part of it, but it's only a matter of time before it grows back. Jack kills himself before it can.
 * Spy Speak: How Franklin and Marcus have to identify their resistance contact.

"Franklin: And I really hate it when you do that!"
 * Stealth Hi Bye: Marcus pulls one on Franklin, who gets quite annoyed about it.


 * Tastes Like Feet: Franklin threatens to tell Marcus what their rations taste like in medical terminology.
 * Third Person Person: Capt. Jack. Marcus doesn't trust these types.
